West Indies Prevail Against Bangladesh in Super Over by a Single Run

On 21 October 2025 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, the  BAN vs WI Super Over ended their ODI with 213 runs each.

The visitors won by just one run in extra time. The game was Bangladesh’s first tie in 814 men’s international matches and set up a final game to decide the series.

I watched in amazement as Shai Hope led the chase like a steady captain navigating rough waters. His 53 not out helped the team, and the bowlers bowled 50 straight overs of spin – a record.

In addition, the air was tense and the crowd was loud, making the BAN vs WI game end in a memorable way.

BAN vs WI: Super Over thriller with heart-stopping moments

The final overs of regulation time felt like watching a suspenseful film. West Indies needed five runs off the 50th over to chase 214, yet Saif Hassan’s dot balls and the dismissal of Akeal Hosein left them on the brink.

Nurul Hasan’s dropped catch on the last ball allowed Khary Pierre and Hope to scramble the two runs that forced a tie. The BAN vs WI Super Over was no less dramatic.

Hope struck a boundary off the last ball to set West Indies 10/1, while Akeal Hosein’s mixture of dots, wides and no-balls somehow restricted Bangladesh to 9/1. Despite conceding five runs with his first legal delivery, Hosein recovered with nerves of steel.

Bangladesh’s Saif Hassan, Soumya Sarkar and Najmul Hossain Shanto could not finish the job, and the visitors clinched the BAN vs WI nail-biter by a solitary run.

Key turning points

Rishad Hossain’s late blitz: Bangladesh were 163/7 in the 46th over before Rishad’s 39* off 14 balls (three fours, three sixes) powered them to 213. His cameo forced West Indies to chase a competitive score.

• All-spin attack: West Indies became the first team to bowl spin in all 50 overs of an ODI. Alick Athanaze’s 2/14 and Akeal Hosein’s 2/41 kept Bangladesh in check.

BAN vs WI: Spin dominance and batting struggles

Watching the BAN vs WI contest felt like following a chess match on a turning track. Bangladesh elected to bat but found themselves tied in knots by the West Indies’ spinners.

Soumya Sarkar top-scored with 45 off 89 balls, while captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz anchored with 32*. Nurul Hasan’s brisk 23 and Rishad’s fireworks lifted them to 213/7.

Don’t look up Soumya Sarkar’s T20 record lol

West Indies rotated through Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie and Athanaze, all of whom extracted turn and bounce. Motie’s 3/65 included the wickets of Hridoy, Nasum Ahmed and Nurul.

The bowlers were supported by sharp fielding – Pierre’s catches at deep midwicket were spectacular. Chasing, the visitors stumbled early when Brandon King fell for a golden duck.

Athanaze’s fluent 28 and Carty’s patient 35 kept them afloat, but the introduction of Rishad’s leg-spin saw wickets tumble. With the score at 133/7, the game looked gone until Hope – batting as coolly as a mountain stream – found partners in Motie, Chase and Greaves.

His risk-averse approach, mixed with occasional aggression, mirrored a marathon runner pacing himself for a final sprint. The BAN vs WI chase eventually matched Bangladesh’s 213, setting up the Super Over finish.
