00:00Bangladesh chose to bat against the West Indies in the opening women's T20

00:03International in St. Kitts. The opening partnership was worth 19 runs in 3.1

00:08overs. Long lofted this one square. There's a sweep up, it'll be a boundary. Captain

00:13Hayley Matthews would strike by taking a wicket with a very first delivery. The

00:18offspin of the captain. Later on, Affie Fletcher would also get one herself and

00:23it became 43 for 2. Sharmeen Akhtar and Captain Nagar Sultana Jyoti then came

00:29together and put on a reasonable partnership. Through there, that was

00:32struck very nicely and we'll go all the way for four. Their stand was worth 82

00:36runs for the third wicket. And if on cue, as if on cue, lifted and lofted down the

00:42ground. Jyoti was the one to hit both of her team's sixes. Wings deployed. Akhtar

00:50was gone for 37 giving Sherri-Ann Fraser the wicket. And taken. Jyoti was still

00:57there and reached her half century with a boundary. She was unbeaten on 53 as

01:01Bangladesh closed on 144 for 3. When the ladies in Maroon responded,

01:09Kiana Joseph and skipper Matthews made a good start. The two set the

01:14foundation for the West Indies during the run chase. She loves it. Loves that

01:18offside play. Gives herself room, gets on the back foot. Beautifully

01:23They put on 63 runs for the first wicket in 8.3 overs. Joseph was

01:32dismissed by Fahima Khatun for 29 which came off 21 balls. Khatun struck

01:40again by removing Shemaine Campbell for just three. But Matthews

01:48was still there which was important for the home team. Champion player

01:56Deandra Doughton also had a blast nonchalantly stroking this one for her

02:00first of many sixes. Doughton was expediting the process by

02:06clearing the ropes frequently. The two put on an unbroken stand of 72

02:14for the third wicket. Doughton would go on to score 51 not out of 22

02:21balls with 7 hits for the maximum. Matthews got a winning run to be

02:33unbeaten on 60 or 54 deliveries. The West Indies got to 145 for 2 in 16.5

02:39overs to take this one by 8 wickets. They lead the three-match series 1-0.

02:44Vinod Nawani takes export.
