9.25 pm Superb work by Bangladesh. They've been knocked out of the previous two World T20s in the group stage but they've taken such rapid strides since then and on a slow pitch, that offered turn, and very little bounce, their spinners were so miserly. Only 80 runs in 16 overs with Rumana Ahmed's legbreaks proving particularly effective as figures of 2 for 16 suggests

West Indies don't look like they've given up, or lost hope. Their players were lined up on the boundary, screaming Kycia Knight on as she got the total past 100. A chase in a world tournament is never easy, least of all against the defending champions. There have been much lower totals that have successfully been defending in Women's T20Is. Lets see what happens...

"I think it's a good start to restrict them under 120. I think it's a normal target for any good team. We'll try our best, Feeling good because all of them are good batsmen. Very happy to take Dottin's wicket. I would have been more happier if I'd got her bowled. I'll be more happy if we beat them" Jahanara says

Jahanara Alam to Kycia A Knight, OUT, looks for the slog sweep, but it doesn't quite go anywhere. Jahanara runs forward to see if she can get the caught and bowled and she does - with one hand, having overrun the ball, reaching behind her!I Insane effort from Jahanara and she knows it, celebrating the effort with equal parts glee and disbelief

Jahanara Alam to Mohammed, OUT, yorker on off stump, Mohammed knocks it to mid-off, they go for the run, there's a direct hit at the bowler's end and she's gone. Doesn't matter though. Knight had to be on strike for the last ball and she is

Johnathan Bovel: "Very good knock from Kycia, with this pitch West Indies have a chance."

Jahanara Alam to Kycia A Knight, 3 runs, dropped at long-on, but it's a difficult catch, there's a run-out opportunity later though. This is a skier. Knight going across the angle and getting a leading edge. The fielder makes a lot of distance running to her right, putting in a dive as well, but just can't pull it off. Long-off backs up with the throw but it doesn't produce the wicket

Matt George: "It upsets me when batters go for sixes and get out . Can't the coaches tell them to go for well-placed fours instead?"

Rumana Ahmed to Taylor, OUT, taken at long-on! It's that time of the innings where even the one who's been holding the innings together has to go big. She tries, going down the track to lift the legspinner against the turn. Doesn't get enough distance

Rumana Ahmed to Kycia A Knight, SIX, steps away to leg and launches it over long-on! Rumana adjusts to the premeditation, bowling the seam-up delivery and trying to cramp Knight. But the length is wrong. It allows Knight to get under the ball and loft it over the boundary rider

Umaid Engineer: "After getting knocked out in group stages, in their last two stints, now Bangladesh team looks complete (at least with ball, as of now). It's interesting that Bangladesh team is putting up tough competition. Now question arises that, can West Indies retain their title.."
