Taskin Ahmed Hits Six but Breaks Own Stump in Bizarre End to BAN vs WI 1st T20I [WATCH]

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed had a bizarre moment in the middle during the BAN vs WI 1st T20I. With Bangladesh needing 17 runs to win off the last three balls of the match, Taskin launched one maximum over the deep midwicket fences to keep the Tigers alive in the contest. However, unfortunately, he ended up knocking over the stumps with his foot in a bizarre turn of events that led to a premature end to the contest.

Taskin was left befuddled initially and it took him a while to accept what had happened as the West Indies players celebrated. The win has now handed the visitors a 1-0 lead after losing the three-match ODI series 1-0.

Earlier in the match, Taskin contributed with the ball, taking two wickets from his four overs.

Coming to the chase, Bangladesh had a poor start, losing wickets right from the start. The hosts lost their first four wickets within the powerplay, reeling at 41 for 4 in 5.3 overs.
