In a gripping finale at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, the 2nd Test between West Indies and Bangladesh ended in a draw, with the hosts finishing at 317 for 8, needing 119 runs for victory. Despite a strong start on the final day, the West Indies looked set for victory but weather conditions and resilient play from Bangladesh dampened their hopes. Bangladesh’s Shoriful Islam was instrumental, taking critical wickets and ensuring his team’s defense held firm. The match saw a noteworthy individual performance from West Indies’ captain Kraigg Brathwaite, who fought valiantly at the crease but eventually fell short of altering the match’s fate. He remarked on the team’s efforts, stating, ‘We put ourselves in a position to win, but cricket is unpredictable.’ The series now moves to a deciding 3rd Test as both teams eye a crucial victory.
