Bangladesh Women vs West Indies Women, 17th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

What is it with this West Indies team and close finishes? They have won three games and all three have been nail-biters. But the worrying thing would be the batting as they have failed to reach the 200-mark in their last three games and like Taylor said they have to be better. Bangladesh are playing their first World Cup and are giving the other teams a run for their money. Yes, they would be disappointed not crossing the line today but will take the positives into the remaining three fixtures. That's all from us. Hope you had a good time reading our coverage. Until next time, goodbye and stay safe..

Stafanie Taylor | West Indies captain: Stable and the medical personnel is taking care of her (Connell). It was sad to see her go down but we look at the bright side, it was probably for us to regroup and we did that and changed the momentum. The batters need to come to the party and we are not consistent. We have to be consistent if we are to compete in this competition. Our batting order is long, we have to come together and win games. Aly (Fletcher) was brilliant. It was her first game back after birth and she was brilliant. It is something we need to talk as a batting group, where we are and where we need to be, there's no two ways about it. We didn't perform well since the India game and that's a concern for us, we can't really go through the tournament like this.

Nigar Sultana | Bangladesh captain: I think it was a very close match. How our bowlers started was incredible. Pretty disappointed with our batting. We lacked partnerships and I should have played till the end. We have to work on this going forward. We were planning to utilize the conditions and our bowlers managed to do that. We have more games to come and have to take the positives. We lack experience in such situations and if we play more then we will get better.

Hayley Matthews | Player of the Match: Obviously a bit worrying to see her (Connell) go down like that. She is a fighter, am not sure what's wrong with her but she will be alright. We knew we did not have enough runs on the board, so we needed to produce something special with the ball and all the spinners stepped up to the plate. We bowled well in partnerships and that's what we needed to do. We have played a lot of ODI cricket through 2021 and that has helped us here. Playing a lot more matches, international cricket is helping us in such situations. Our coaching staff continuously keep working on us and instilling confidence in the players.

17:46 Local Time, 04:46 GMT, 10:16 IST: Ufff! Another last over finish in this World Cup and it is West Indies who come out on top. Bangladesh would be gutted as they had a golden chance to cause another upset. The chase did not get off to a good start as Matthews struck in the very first over and West Indies gave Bangladesh a taste of their own medicine; they bowled 39.3 overs of spin and picked 10 for 88. Most of the Bangladeshi batters got starts but no one could really kick on and take them over the line. Salma Khatun and Nahida Akter tried hard towards the end but they were left with too much to do. Hang around for the presentations..

Taylor to Fariha Trisna, out Bowled!! West Indies win by 4 runs. Relief for Stafanie Taylor as she looks up to the heavens. West Indies have avoided an embarrasment.
