West Indies delivered a dominant all-round performance to defeat Bangladesh by 5 wickets with 3.4 overs remaining in the 33rd match of the T10 World Cup 2026 at Wellington Park. The match was highlighted by a sensational late onslaught from Alzarri Joseph, whose blistering unbeaten knock and impactful bowling earned him the Player of the Match award.

Batting first, Bangladesh struggled to build sustained momentum despite a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Soumya Sarkar, who top-scored with a rapid 46 off 19 balls, striking at over 240. He was well supported early by Litton Das (22 off 10) and Shakib Al Hasan (13 off 8), but regular wickets at the other end prevented Bangladesh from posting a bigger total. West Indies’ bowling attack kept things tight, with Kyle Mayers producing an excellent spell of 4 wickets, while Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph chipped in with two wickets each to restrict Bangladesh to 106/9 in their 10 overs.

In reply, West Indies suffered an early wobble as Brandon King and Shimron Hetmyer were dismissed cheaply, putting pressure on the middle order. Nicholas Pooran (11) and Rahkeem Cornwall (25 off 11)* steadied the chase briefly, but the turning point came with the arrival of Alzarri Joseph. Promoted up the order, Joseph unleashed a stunning assault, smashing 32 off just 9 balls* at an extraordinary strike rate of over 350, swinging the momentum decisively in West Indies’ favor.

Joseph’s fearless hitting, combined with Cornwall’s composure, ensured West Indies chased down the target in just 6.2 overs, sealing a comprehensive victory. Bangladesh’s bowlers, led by Taskin Ahmed (3 wickets), showed moments of resistance but were ultimately overwhelmed by the West Indies’ power-packed finish.

This emphatic win strengthens West Indies’ position in Group A, showcasing their depth, finishing ability, and explosive batting strength—key assets as the tournament heads into its decisive phase.
