West Indies soared back into the semifinals reckoning of the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup by decimating Bangladesh in a crucial Group B game at Sharjah’s Cricket Stadium on October 10.

Here’s the timeline of how WI-W Vs BAN-W panned out in Sharjah:

WI-W Vs BAN-W Highlights: Karishma Ramharack Jolts BAN Early With Twin Bursts

West Indies spinner Karishma Ramharack got rid of both Bangladesh openers within the first six overs of the match. After getting Shathi Rani out stumped by wicketkeeper Shemaine Campbelle for just nine, Ramharack knocked over Dilara Akter as Bangladesh reached 33-2 by the end of the opening powerplay.

Sobhana Mostary and captain Nigar Sultana subsequently forged handy runs together for the third wicket to take Bangladesh to a competitive 58-2 at the halfway stage of the innings.

WI-W Vs BAN-W Highlights: Ramharack Picks Four, Fletcher Restricts BAN

Karishma Ramharack (4-17) also dismissed a well-set Sobhana Mostary (16) in one of her return spells during the backend of the innings. Afy Fletcher picked up the key wickets of Taj Nehar and Shorna Akter off successive deliveries to reduce Bangladesh to 75-5 in 15 overs.

Nigar Sultana top-scored with 39 from 44 balls to steer her team past the 100-run mark before falling to Hayley Matthews in the final over of the innings. After amounting to 58-2 in the first half, runs dried up for Bangladesh in the backend as they accrued just 103-8 by the competition of their 20 overs.

WI-W Vs BAN-W Highlights: Matthews Extinguishes BAN Hopes From The Outset

West Indies captain Hayley Matthews started off by smacking a fluent 34 from just 22 deliveries with six elegant boundaries, all during her 52-run stand with opening partner Stafanie Taylor. Aiming to capitalise the early momentum, Matthews let out a full-blooded swing only to get knocked over by Marufa Akter in the eighth over of the run-chase.

Regardless, Matthews’ top-order belligerence helped West Indies race to 73-1 after the first 10 overs.

WI-W Vs BAN-W Highlights: Deandra Dottin Boosts NRR With Speedy Victory

Stafanie Taylor retired herself out for a near run-a-ball 27 at 73-1 around the halfway stage of the innings. Wicketkeeper-batter Shemaine Campbelle made 21 off 16 before losing her rhythm to Nahida Akter at the brink of the finishing line.

Senior cricketer Deandra Dottin at number four smeared 19 unbeaten runs from just seven balls with a boundary and two sixes to boost West Indies’ NRR with a comfortable eight-wicket victory inside 13 overs.
