00:00And Shehu, very different in experience. Averages in the 40s. He's got a wealth of
00:07experience, scored a really brilliant hundred against India. Already some turn
00:16on offer there for Shakib. Yeah, one for 27 for Bishu. Odd ball did turn.
00:27That's hit up, actually. That's really struck well by Shehu. It's gone all the
00:33way. Goodness gracious me, that came out of nowhere. We were just talking about
00:36the fact that he hadn't really shown any intent. The first time he does it, what a
00:41strike. And they look like they're gonna take full advantage of that, the windies.
00:46That's the third boundary of the innings. What another lovely shot from Shehu.
00:52Six in the previous over, and this time with the turn, just swinging it around.
01:02Bang, he goes right over the top. It's going high, it's going long, it's going for the
01:08maximum. What a fantastic strike there.
01:13Welcome to that six, Tino.
01:18Delivers the ball in areas that he can take advantage. Nicely struck through the
01:23offside field. This is what I'm talking about. Yes, he is the man with the golden
01:28arm, but because he doesn't bowl so often, at times he can give the batsman
01:33opportunities to score. Gone for it, and it's going to go to the boundary. Just
01:40the shortness in the delivery. This time it stood up to be hit, and it was
01:45punished.
01:53Nicely played. I spoke about the strike rates that a batsman in one day cricket
02:00should aim for. Shehu getting to that landmark 50.
02:09Crossing that one up, and he's played that beautifully. That should go to the
02:14boundary. It's a lovely, lovely shot. 4-20 over. 6-2.
02:25Actually, that's to Shehu, and firmly struck. Just bounces inside the boundary.
02:33This is nicely played. So he tried the shot a couple of times in the last over.
02:40Swept away. That is a good shot. Now those two men were brought a little bit
02:48closer together after that last boundary. That Shehu's gone down on one knee and
02:53hit it firmly, and still managed to get the boundary. The basic, the long off is
03:01there. Lovely shot off the back foot. Oh, beautifully done. Good effort, but not
03:07good enough. What a lovely piece of typing that is from Shehu, and he knew
03:13that vacant area just looked so good.
03:20Punches it away to get to three figures. Wonderful, wonderful innings from Shehu,
03:25and they all stand in the dugout. But as expected, you can see that muted
03:32celebration. He's not jumping up and down. He's just raised the bat to say, right,
03:36I've got three figures. My next target is now ahead. Didn't seem as if he got
03:46hold of that, but he did get it brilliantly. Slightly short again, not
03:51quite climbing the way the previous one did, and just helped it to mid-wicket.
03:57Well, he's innovated, innovated very, very well. Coming inside and swinging it fine
04:04to the fine leg boundary. Brilliant shot.
04:11Firmly struck. That's a great shot.
04:17Went all the way. This is his highest score in one international cricket.
04:24Goes wide again, gets it to the gap. He might just get that boundary. Yes, he does.
04:30Important runs for the Windies. Yeah, heartbreak for Bangladesh.
04:41Short. Hit over the offside field, and it's gone for another boundary.
04:50Well celebrated by the men in the dugout. Along the way, these two, their partnership
04:58now growing in stature. 61 already from 58. Last delivery, important delivery.
05:05Goes for it. Gets it over the keeper. You will get a boundary, and in more control
05:12of this game, the Windies. This has been an excellent over for them. 16 runs coming
05:19from the over. Only 6 from 6 required now. It's 250 for 6.
05:26Short. Another single.
