Mahmudullah decided to bowl after winning the toss on Friday. The main goal was to keep the West Indies at bay. Chris Gayle (4) and Evin Lewis (6) came down to open for the Caribbean team. Bangladesh returned both of them with less runs. Ruston Chase took the helm for the West Indies. He scored 39 runs from 48 balls. Although this innings was slow as in T20 cricket, it was very important for the team.
Nicholas Puran took the team to 142 runs in the last over. He scored 40 runs from 22 balls. Four sixes and one four mare old. Jason Holder, who joined the team to play the first match, also played an important innings of 15 runs off 5 balls.

Soumya made 16 runs from 13 balls.
