Duo posts record-breaking partnership as Bangladesh lose by 91 runs.
BASSETERRE:
Denesh Ramdin and Darren Bravo hit centuries in a record partnership as the West Indies completed a clean sweep of the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh with a 91-run victory on Monday.
Ramdin blazed 169 and dominated a 258-run third-wicket partnership with Bravo (124) to pace the West Indies to 338 for seven batting first. It was the highest partnership for any wicket for the Caribbean side in ODIs, while the total was their fifth-highest.
“Darren [Bravo] said someone had to bat through the innings and I put my hand up to do it today,” said Ramdin, who also took both the man of the match and man of the series honours.
Bangladesh could only muster 247 in reply to Windies’ mammoth total.
