The Bangladesh women's team kept their direct World Cup qualification hopes alive with a strong 60-run win over West Indies Women in the second ODI at Warner Park, St. Kitts on Tuesday, drawing the three-match series 1-1.

The hosts restricted Bangladesh to 184 all out from 48.5 overs after Hayley Matthews won the toss.

Captain Nigar Sultana led the way for the Bangladeshis with 68 off 120 balls including five fours as Karishma Ramharack and Aaliyah Alleyne led the West Indian bowling with 4-33 and 3-24 from 10 overs and 5.5 overs, respectively.

Looking to follow up a dominant chase in the first game on Sunday, the West Indians faltered mightily this time around, being dismissed for 124 in only 35 overs.

If Bangladesh can win the third ODI they will secure a place in the World Cup directly as and Bangladesh need four points from the series to qualify directly after being placed in the seventh place in the ongoing Women's Championship cycle.

Shemaine Campbelle led the way with 28 with Cherry Ann Fraser (18*), Hayley Matthews (16), Aaliyah Alleyne (15) and Karishma Ramharack (13) being the only other batters to get to double figures.

Bangladesh were excellent with the ball as a whole with Nahida Akter leading the way with 3-31 from her 10 overs.

Fahima Khatun (2-17 from five overs), Rabeya Khan (2-19 from eight overs) and Marufa Akter (2-35 from eight overs) were also very good in support.

The series decider will take place at the same venue on Friday.
