A century from Shimron Hetmyer and a fantastic final over from Jason Holder sealed the Windies’ thrilling three-run win that drew them level 1-1 in the one-day internationals against Bangladesh.

Hetmyer’s second ODI hundred propped up the Windies total of 271 at Guyana late on Wednesday, 25 July. Fifties from Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim meant Bangladesh were on course, until defending eight in the final over, when Holder stayed calm.

With dew making the ball difficult to grip, Holder conceded 13 in his penultimate over, the 48th of the Bangladesh innings. But young Keemo Paul took a wicket in his last ball of the 49th, and Holder returned to have Rahim, the set batsman, caught off a full toss.

He then gave away just four runs in his next five balls to complete a dramatic victory.

Bangladesh had raced off the blocks, with Anamul Haque’s blistering 23 off nine balls dominating the opening stand of 32.

Once he was done in by a slower delivery from Alzarri Joseph in the third over, the pair of Iqbal and Hasan kept it going, bringing up the team 100 in the 15th over.

The Windies had little to celebrate till the 25th, when they finally succeeded in breaking the second-wicket stand at 97. Iqbal, who made a hundred in the first ODI, danced down the wicket to Devendra Bishoo, missed, and was stumped for 54.

Hasan earned a reprieve when an lbw decision off Bishoo was reversed, but couldn’t capitalise, caught by Keemo Paul off Ashley Nurse for 56.

With the run-rate creeping above 7 an over, Rahim and Mahmudullah dug in to add a steady 87. However, at a crucial juncture in the chase, miscommunication in the middle resulted in Mahmudullah being run out.

Rahim seemed set to pull off victory, getting to 68 off 67 before Holder’s heroics.

Earlier, it was 21-year-old Hetmyer who had given the Windies something to bowl at, backing up his fifty in the previous match with a fighting century here.

Holder’s men got off to a cautious start, adding just 34 in the Powerplay. With none of the top order building on their starts and the going slow, the youngster’s fifth-wicket stand of 103 with Rovman Powell (44) was crucial.

The duo played out the economical Mehidy Hasan, and focused on rotating strike, lifting the hosts from a precarious 102/4.

Hetmyer, dropped by Hasan on 85, stepped it up towards the end, even as he lost Powell, who was bowled by Rubel Hussein (3/61).

The youngster struck three fours and seven sixes in his 93-ball 125. He was the last man out, but not before dominating the last-wicket stand of 29, where his partner made just one run. In the end, those were the runs that made all the difference.

Shimron Hetmyer’s century in the second one-day international against Bangladesh was no ordinary feat, even accounting for the fact that it helped the Windies restore parity in the three-match series.

Hetmyer, just 21, was playing his 11th ODI. This was his second century in the format – the first came against UAE in March at the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2018.

At Providence on Thursday, 26 July, Hetmyer scored a 93-ball 125. The knock comprised 10 boundaries; seven of those were sixes. More importantly, it steadied the Windies innings after their openers failed to convert starts, and propped up the total.

Given the Windies eventually won by just three runs, it was a vital knock. Hetmyer wasn’t getting carried away, though. “I want to take one step one at a time and see how it goes in St Kitts,” he said afterwards.

Hetmyer had the added joy of playing his most impressive knock yet for the Windies in front of his family. “Yeah, the home crowd helped. It was a push for me to have my family and girlfriend here,” he said. “They all support me hand in hand. So, thanks to them.

Apart from Hetmyer, Jason Holder, the Windies captain, played a big role in the victory. With Bangladesh needing just eight runs off the final over, and the settled Mushfiqur Rahim on strike, Holder conceded just four runs and claimed the crucial wicket of Rahim (68).

He later admitted it was “nerve-racking” to bowl the final over. “I had the mental support of the team and I came through,” said Holder. “I talk to myself, it doesn't matter how we started, it matters how we finish.

“They got off to a really good start, and both the bowlers, me and Alzarri (Joseph) were slipping and sliding. It was hard. But credit to the way we fought back. Devendra (Bishoo) and (Ashley) Nurse were good. Keemo Paul was excellent too. Hetmyer is a great talent, he plays spin quite well too, and hope he can continue this way in the future.

For Bangladesh, it was another bitter pill to swallow in a series full of them. They conceded the Tests 2-0, and though they fought back in the first ODI with a 48-run win, they now face the possibility of losing the ODI series as well.

Mashrafe Mortaza, the captain, admitted their disappointment was greater, given the position of command they were in. "It was disappointing to lose such a game when you need 14 runs in 13 balls with six wickets in hand,” he said. “It is more disappointing because it is not the first time we have lost a game from such a position as it has happened on quite a few occasions.

“I am not sure whether it is mental or technical because it is tough to describe it. If we required 20 runs from 12 balls then it is a different thing but when you need 14 runs from 13 balls and fail to do so, it is hard to decide whether it is technical or mental.

"Honestly speaking, we are making the same mistake and I think we should have handled our nerves in a relaxed manner and ended the game with singles and twos.”

The third ODI will be played in Basseterre on Saturday.
