Anamul stars as Bangladesh crush Windies

Anamul Haque became the third youngest Bangladeshi to hit a century before the home team spun out the West Indies to record their biggest-ever one-day win on Sunday.

Anamul scored a dominating 120 in Bangladesh’s imposing 6-292 before spinners Abdur Razzak (3-19) and Sohag Gazi (3-21) dismissed the tourists for just 132 in 31.1 overs.

It gave the hosts a 2-0 lead in the five-match series after they won Friday’s first match by seven wickets, also in Khulna.

The margin of victory on Sunday eclipsed their 146-run win over Scotland in Dhaka six years ago.

The Windies were never in the hunt for the big target chase, losing wickets at regular intervals as the Bangladeshi spinners once again made stroke-play difficult for the batsmen on a slow Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium pitch.

Only Darren Bravo (28) and Kieron Pollard (25) offered some resistance as the top-order West Indian batsmen Chris Gayle (15), Marlon Samuels (16) and Lendl Simmons (nine) failed once more.

Gayle hit two boundaries and a six before edging paceman Mashrafe Mortaza to wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim, while Simmons and Samuels were dismissed by Gazi.

Bravo added 41 for the third wicket with Samuels before left-arm spinner Razzak dismissed Dwayne Smith (nought) in his second over and had Bravo and Devon Thomas (nought) in his fourth.

Earlier, it was the 19-year-old right-hander Anamul who in only his second one-day set up the win with a solid 174-run partnership with Rahim (79).

Anamul pulled a short ball from Ravi Rampaul in the 47th over to become the third youngest Bangladeshi and the eighth youngest in the world to score a century, behind countrymen Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan.

Anamul faced 145 balls and hit 13 fours and two sixes, lifting the innings during a sixth wicket stand of 64 with Mominul Haque (31) as the hosts scored 86 in the last 10 overs.

The third match is in Dhaka on December 5.
