Lotus365 Match Prediction: West Indies on Verge of Victory Despite Taskin's Heroics

Taskin Ahmed’s six-fer stands out as West Indies edge closer to victory. Stay updated with Lotus365 match predictions and betting insights.

West Indies are just three wickets away from a convincing win against Bangladesh in Antigua, thanks to stellar bowling performances by Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales. Despite Taskin Ahmed’s incredible six-wicket haul on Day 4, Bangladesh faces an uphill battle to chase down 334, with their batting lineup struggling against the Windies' pace attack.

Taskin Ahmed Shines Amidst Collapse

Bangladesh made a bold decision to declare their innings at 269/9, trailing by 181 runs. West Indies, in their second innings, managed only 152 as Taskin Ahmed delivered a maiden Test six-fer, rattling the home side with precise bowling outside the off-stump. He claimed key scalps, including Mikyle Louis and Keacy Carty, initiating collapses that gave Bangladesh a glimmer of hope.

However, their batters faltered once again. Roach’s three wickets early in Bangladesh’s chase dismantled the top order, leaving them at 23/4. Litton Das briefly counterattacked, but his resistance ended as the Windies' bowlers capitalized on the tourists' vulnerabilities.

West Indies on the Brink

Jayden Seales joined Roach in piling pressure, claiming three wickets of his own, including crucial late strikes to leave Bangladesh at 109/7 when bad light halted play. The visitors need an improbable 225 runs with only three wickets in hand to avoid defeat.
