The West Indies cricket player, Romario Shepherd, delivered an exceptional performance to create a memorable moment in the 3rd T20I match against Bangladesh in Chattogram. His efforts propelled his team to a convincing five-wicket victory, achieving a 3-0 series clean sweep. Bangladesh was in a promising position at 107/2, with Tanzid Hasan holding the innings together. However, they experienced a sudden downfall, sparked by Shepherd’s superb bowling in the final overs. His impressive display not only dismantled the lower order of Bangladesh’s batting lineup but also made him the second West Indian player to achieve a hat-trick in a T20I game, following Jason Holder’s achievement in 2022. Later, the Windies successfully chased down the relatively small target of 152 in just 16.5 overs, highlighting their strength in both batting and bowling throughout the series.
BAN vs WI, 3rd T20I: Romario Shepherd’s historic hat-trick turns the game on its head
The hat-trick by Shepherd was the central highlight of the match, demonstrating his remarkable calmness, pinpoint accuracy, and sheer speed while under pressure. He initially made an impact in the 17th over, dismissing Nurul Hasan for only 1 run, setting the scene for an exciting conclusion. Returning to bowl the final over, Shepherd bowled two consecutive, match-altering deliveries. Tanzid (89 from 62 balls), the highest scorer for Bangladesh, was caught in the deep after mistiming a shot. Immediately following this, Shoriful Islam (0) was bowled out by a perfectly executed yorker.
With this performance, Shepherd achieved his hat-trick across two overs, concluding with figures of 3/36. His skillful use of slower balls and yorkers proved too difficult for the Bangladesh tailenders. Taskin Ahmed was run out on the last ball, ending the innings at 151, a total that at one point appeared likely to surpass 170. Shepherd’s contribution will be celebrated as one of the most outstanding spells bowled by a West Indian in the crucial final overs of a T20I match in recent years, displaying remarkable composure and precise bowling.
