Like Bangladesh, the Windies were four down before crossing 100. Their top-order batters fell after having fine starts.

While Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, and Nasum Ahmed brought Bangladesh down to 133/7, Hope and Greaves joined forces.

They kept the scoreboard ticking by taking singles.

WI required 37 runs off 32 balls before Greaves was run out. This exposed Akeal Hosein to the middle.

Hope, who had farmed the strike by then, took the game further deep.

Hosein's six off Mehidy Hasan Miraz took the equation down to 14 required off two overs.

Hope completed his half-century but refrained from striking big. With three runs required off the last two balls, Saif Hassan knocked over Hosein.

Khary Pierre took two runs on the final ball, leveling the score.
