It was Mahmadullah Riyad, who did a job of saviour for Bangladesh. He played a handy knock of 35. Furthermore, the other top scorers were Liton Das with 24 and Shakin Al Hassan with a short cameo of 19.

Windies went through a similar situation as they lost their openers inside first two overs. Windies promoted Andrew Russell at number three slot who justified his promotion.
