00:00Where do broken hearts go?
00:02Well, Mirpur is the destination.
00:05Nothing beats a trip to the subcontinent where the Westinese bowlers got to witness the famous
00:11Tamil Tigers of Bangladesh roar on home soil.
00:15What an experience it must have been seeing the best of Saif Hassan and Soymar Saka on
00:21display.
00:22Their strike bowlers, Akeel Hossein, Ruston Chase and others, punched their tickets to
00:26the boundary as both batsmen blasted their way to half centuries.
00:30It was entertaining to watch, to say the least, until fans were stumped when Chase removed
00:35Hassan for 80 with a score on 176 in the 26th over.
00:40Saka made 91 as the Westinese had thoughts about coming back into this match.
00:46Could they chase a score above 200?
00:48Alec Athanes will be needed with the bat just as he played his part with the ball.
00:53He took two wickets for 37 runs off his seven overs.
00:56Bangladesh's top order fired, 252 for 4 in the 44th over, but the Westinese broke their
01:03momentum.
01:04Mahidul Islam Ancon was bowled by Hossein for six.
01:08He took two more wickets, but was it too little too late?
01:12Bangladesh got to 296 for eight from their fifth day overs.
01:16It was a tough total to chase, yet 300 balls to get 296 runs seems logically possible.
01:24But when these batsmen had been struggling to score 200, Alec Athanes is the first to go
01:29for 15.
01:30Nassam Ahmed removes Brandon King as well for 18, 35 for three.
01:35She-Hope made four and someone else needed to step up, but instead they were stepping back
01:40to the pavilion, 63 for six.
01:43Could the remaining batsmen get 233 runs?
01:48Justin Greaves, Gurrakesh, Moti, Akhil Hossein and Kari Pear, 60 runs from each of them would
01:54have done the trick.
01:55In reality, it turned out to be 15, 7, 27 and 0.
02:02Hossein played a few delightful strokes to get the Westinese beyond 100.
02:08But Meraz humbled him in the end when he's bowled out for 117 in 30.1 overs.
02:14They lose the match by 179 runs.
02:18Coach Darren Sami has some thinking to do as they lose the series 2-1 and they miss out
02:23on crucial points for that automatic spot to the World Cup.
