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

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

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.."
