That's the end of the first triple-header day at the Women's World T20. Thanks for your company. See you tomorrow.
"I think a lot of them might be having a heart attack at the halfway stage. Not the best of batting performance. But it's good that we came out in the second part and we finished the game," Stafanie Taylor says. "I think the batting, the shot selection wasn't good. And I have to give it to the Bangladesh team, they bowled excellent. They got early wickets and I think that for me, going out there, I tried not to think about myself, tried to get a competitive total on the board. At a point, I was talking to my partner saying we need to get 110, 115, try to milk it and hopefully we can go big in the end overs. There was no doubt in my bowling attack. I'm pretty confident in that area. My bowlers could come out and defend any runs. You see how Deandra Dottin, she's just excellent, getting five wickets, she was trying for the sixth one, didn't work out. We want to improve our batting. I know what we can do. We can hit boundaries at any time but just at the top, we need to rotate the strike a bit more"
"I like to bowl first. We bowled well. Today the batsmen weren't good that's why we lost it," Salma Khatun says. "West Indies team is good. With a target of 106, we should have chased it. The batting was not good. We need to improve it. Next match, I think we'll be better. Good bowling partnership and fielding as well. Everybody was good. But if we had batted better, we could have won the match. Jahanara was good. Everyone was good. I think bowling is very nice"
Dottin is the Player of the Match: Of course I was confident. Even before the first hour finished, no matter what total we put up on the board ,we are strong enough to defend it. That's the good thing with being an allrounder, if you don't pick up with the bat, you pick up with the ball. The low total that we hard, I knew that I had to bowl wicket to wicket. No there werent' any concerns. We know the batters we have in the dug out. We knew we could get a good total. Of course we were placed with the crowd and we would like them to continue supporting us. Hopefully we can go all the way to the end
10.45 pm West Indies managed only 106. But they've won by 60 runs. That is insane. It's the result of some poor batting by Bangladesh. They looked outmatched the moment Deandra Dottin started cranking the speed gun towards 115 kph. Took four wickets in her first 12 balls and finishes with 5 for 6 - the best figures for West Indies in women's T20Is and also in all Women's World T20s. Bangladesh meanwhile record the lowest total in a World T20 game, after having impressed with the ball and in the field.
Khadija Tul Kubra run out 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
Salma Khatun b Dottin 5 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 55.55
The West Indies allrounder lit up the first night of the Women's World T20, but she isn't close to being done
