2014–2018: The Early Dominance Phase
The first three meetings in the Bangladesh women’s national cricket team vs West Indies women timeline were all T20Is- and West Indies won all three by significant margins.
March 26, 2014- Sylhet | T20I | West Indies won by 36 runs
The first-ever meeting between these two sides took place on Bangladeshi soil. West Indies won by 36 runs. Bangladesh were unable to build a competitive total, and West Indies’ batting lineup had no difficulty in the chase.
March 20, 2016- Chennai | ICC Women’s World T20 | West Indies won by 49 runs
West Indies defeated Bangladesh by 49 runs as part of their championship-winning campaign at the 2016 ICC Women’s World T20. West Indies went on to beat Australia in that final. Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin were key contributors throughout the tournament.
November 9, 2018- Providence, Guyana | ICC Women’s World T20 | West Indies won by 60 runs
Deandra Dottin was Player of the Match as West Indies won by 60 runs. Three T20Is, three defeats- with a combined winning margin of 145 runs across the three games. Bangladesh had yet to restrict or pressure West Indies in any phase of a match across this entire period.
2022: The Match That Went to the Final Over
The 2022 ICC Women’s World Cup clash remains the closest match in the entire Bangladesh women’s national cricket team vs West Indies women timeline- decided by just 4 runs.
March 18, 2022- Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui | ICC Women’s CWC | West Indies won by 4 runs
West Indies posted 140/9 from 50 overs– a modest total on a good batting surface. Bangladesh needed 141 and finished on 136 all out in 49.3 overs.
