DHAKA: West Indies head coach Daren Sammy expressed disappointment after his team’s 2-1 ODI series defeat to Bangladesh, admitting that the visitors underperformed across departments despite some standout individual displays.
Bangladesh’s spinners completely outperformed their West Indian counterparts, claiming 27 wickets at an average of 14.66 and an economy rate of 3.80. In contrast, the West Indies spin attack managed just 18 wickets at 30.05 with an economy rate of 4.39. Left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie and all-rounder Roston Chase struggled to make an impact, while even part-timer Alick Athanaze returned better figures than both in the second ODI.
Reflecting on the series, Sammy commended captain Shai Hope for his consistency and leadership but was critical of the team’s overall execution, particularly in the bowling department.
