West Indies has created history in Mirpur by becoming the first team in men’s or women’s ODI cricket to bowl all 50 overs with spin during their match against Bangladesh.
The Caribbean side used five spinners, delivering 300 balls, conceding 207 runs, and taking seven wickets on a turning track at the Shere Bangla Stadium. Remarkably, their only pace option, Justin Greaves, was not used at all.
Before this, the record for most spin overs in an ODI innings stood at 44, achieved three times by Sri Lanka, against West Indies in 1996, New Zealand in 1998, and Australia in 2004.
