The 13th match of the T10 World Cup 2026 delivered fast-paced action as West Indies defeated Bangladesh by 28 runs in an entertaining clash at Coffs Harbour. Batting first, West Indies posted a competitive 124/9 in 10 overs, thanks to explosive cameos throughout the innings. Shimron Hetmyer led the charge with a brisk 28 off 13 balls, while Nicholas Pooran and Brandon King provided solid starts. The late fireworks from Kyle Mayers (25 off 6)* and Jason Holder (12 off 3)* pushed the total beyond Bangladesh’s reach.
Bangladesh’s bowling was spearheaded by Shakib Al Hasan, who delivered a match-turning spell of 4 wickets for 28 runs, earning him the Man of the Match award. Despite his efforts, the West Indies’ power-hitting proved decisive in the final overs.
In reply, Bangladesh began poorly, losing early wickets and struggling to build momentum. Mushfiqur Rahim (34 off 17) and Afif Hossain (29 off 14)* fought back with a late resurgence, but the required run rate remained out of control. The West Indies bowlers, led by Jason Holder’s disciplined spell, held their nerve to restrict Bangladesh to 96/6 in 10 overs, sealing a convincing victory.
With this win, West Indies strengthened their campaign in the group stage, while Bangladesh were left to reflect on missed opportunities despite flashes of resistance in the chase.
