PLAYER OF THE MATCH : Tamim Iqbal

So, Bangladesh displayed that they have the stomach to fight and Windies as their skipper told were complacent. Crowd at Florida were fantastic, there were lot of Bangladesh supporters in and they refuse to leave. We would have to leave though. The final of this series is less than 24 hours away, don't forget to join us for that. Until then, this is Varun Dixit signing off on behalf of Nikhil Jadhav and Mukesh.
Shakib Al Hasan: We had a chat after the last match and we had that belive that we can win against Windies. Crowd was a massive factor, I felt we were playing in Bangladesh. Hopefully they will support us tomorrow too. All the bowlers bowled brilliantly. It was a great team effort from us in the end.
Tamim Iqbal, Man of the Match: I took my chance but it didn't come off. Today I was more patient, I took my time in the middle and went for it later in my innings. I cashed in at the right time. He (Shakib) played an unbelievable innings, as soon as he came in. He took the pressure off me as we didn't have a great start. It is my first time on this pitch and I liked the pitch. When you score runs you always like the pitch.
Carlos Brathwaite: We were bit casual in the field and that is where the match turned. I was confident of chasing this total down. There were too many lapses in the field and Bangladesh came out trump. Tomorrow is an important and hopefully we will bring our A game. I think Ramdin's DRS call was questionable. We lost a couple of wickets in the powerplay and somedays these things just happens. I don't think it was too much of a bad day. As long as the attitude is the same like the first game, it should be cracker of a game tomorrow.
23:29 Local Time, 03:29 GMT, 08:59 IST: They all converge and hug Nazmul Islam. This has been a stellar performance from Bangladesh. Windies got off to a flier but the visitors dragged them back with wickets in the second, fourth, fifth and eighth over. Windies looked out of the game at that time but Fletcher and Powell had different ideas. They put on 58 runs for the fifth wicket and got them back into the match. But once Fletcher departed, wickets fell at regular intervals and they were left to chase 15 in the final over. Nazmul Islam portrayed nerves of steel and defended it with the ease in the end to level the series. Time for the presentations.

Nazmul Islam to Badree, 1 run, full-toss at the stumps, slaps it hard to long-off just a single and Bangladesh win by 12 runs. Nazmul Islam flaunts his dance moves, not sure they are that great but his bowling surely was. What an incredible final over!
Samuel Badree, right handed bat, comes to the crease
Nazmul Islam to K Paul, out Bowled!! Cleans him up. Brilliant from Nazmul Islam. It was directed at the stumps, K Paul went for a glory shot. He had no other option either, fails to put any bat to it and it smashes the stumps. K Paul b Nazmul Islam 2(5)
Nazmul Islam to K Paul, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!
Nazmul Islam to K Paul, no run, swing a miss, brilliant bowling from K Paul. That is game, set and match for Bangladesh!
Kesrick Williams, right handed bat, comes to the crease
Nazmul Islam to Nurse, out Caught by A Haque!! This should be the match for Bangladesh! Nazmul Islam is over the moon and he has every reason to be so. It was a fuller length delivery at the stumps, in the arc for Nurse who went for an across-the-line slog. Power wasn't enough and it fails to clear deep mid-wicket fielder who takes a good catch under pressure. Nurse c A Haque b Nazmul Islam 16(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Mustafizur to Nurse, FOUR, edge and four! Useful boundary. Nurse is elated! He gets it off the bottom half of the bat and it goes wide of short third
Mustafizur to Nurse, SIX, hitting of the highest order from Nurse! He has hit it over cover, one of the hardest shot in the game. This scrambled seam delivery of Mustafizur was slanting across Nurse who goes deep in the crease and slaps it hard with the anngle of the delivery over deep cover for a maximum
