Bangladesh batter Taskin hits a six then gets out hit-wicket in bizarre ending of T20I vs West Indies - WATCH

The first T20I between Bangladesh and West Indies ended in the most bizarre manner on Monday (Oct 27). Needing 17 off last three balls, Bangladesh had only one wicket left and Taskin Ahmed was on the crease. Romario Shepherd banged in a short ball which Ahmed smacked out of a park for a six but then he dragged his feet back and hit the stumps. The bails were dislodged and the batter was declared. Bangladesh eventually lost the match by 17 runs as West Indies took 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

The manner in which Taskin got out wasn't weird as such but that fact that it was given while ball travelled for a six was definitely a heartbreaking way to end the match. The six would have given Bangladesh an outside chance to win the match with two more sixes on the next two balls but it wasn't meant to be. Have a look at the video of the moment below:

"We assessed the conditions a little bit better today. Obviously, we would have wanted a higher score, but I thought having wickets in hand gave us the impetus we needed at the back end. Credit goes to the guys; they raised their hands today in all departments, and I'm happy to see the result we got," said Hope after the win.
