  1. It was all about Hayley Matthews in the powerplay.

    She scored 34 off 22 balls before being bowled by Marufa Akter.

  2. Bangladesh need something absolutely miraculous from here...

  3. WI 73-1

    West Indies need just 31 more to win, as we pause for a drink.

  4. Kirstie Gordon
    England bowler on BBC Sounds

    They're finding a bit of groove here. Shemaine Campbelle's come in strong.

  5. WI 67-1

    Shemaine Champbelle guides one past short-third and away to the boundary for four.

    She's come out with intent.

  6. Kirstie Gordon
    England bowler on BBC Sounds

    So sloppy. That's up there with one of the worst dropped catches of the tournament.

  7. Melissa Story
    Commentator on BBC Sounds

    That is one of the simplest catches I've seen go down, it was like catching practise.

  8. dropped catch

    Taylor dropped on 23

    WI 63-1

    Stafanie Taylor looks to go down the ground again, but doesn't time it and it's straight down the throat of Sobhana Mostary at long-off.

    She must take her eyes off it through and it goes to ground.

    Bangladesh simply cannot afford drops like that with such a low total on the board.

  9. WI 60-1

    Stafanie Taylor dances down the track and plants Rabeya Khan down the ground for four.

    She still doesn't look comfortable out there, so might just try to do it in boundaries.

  10. WI 55-1

    If the three balls since the wicket are anything to go by, there could well have a runout on the cards.

    There's plenty of confusion between the pair, but they just about survive.

  11. Kirstie Gordon
    England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Marufa Akter deserves that, she's bowled really well. She's faced some world class shots from Hayley Matthews but wins the battle in the end.

    WICKET

    Matthews b Marufa 34 (WI 52-1)

    Marufa bowls Matthews for 34

    The slight delay does the trick for Bangladesh.

    Marufa Akter gets one to nip back at Hayley Matthews - it rushes through the West Indies skipper and crashes into middle and leg.

    Shemaine Campbelle is in at three.

  13. WI 52-0

    A sloppy throw brings West Indies an overthrow, and more worryingly for Bangladesh, Nigar Sultana Joty looks to have hurt her knee trying to gather it.

    She looks in a fair bit of pain and needs treatment.

  14. Melissa Story
    Commentator on BBC Sounds

    It would have to be a disaster for the West Indies to lose this.

  15. WI 51-0

    A relatively quiet over from Rabeya Khan, with just three singles coming from it.

    That won't bother the West Indies pair though - they can afford to defend the good balls.

  16. West Indies are clearly ahead of the required run rate after the powerplay...

  17. WI 48-0

    Shot.

    It's probably fitting that Hayley Matthews ends the powerplay with a boundary.

    Yes, it's a half-volley outside off, but she creams it through cover for four more.

  18. It feels like ages ago, but Nigar Sultana Joty top scored for Bangladesh in their 103-8.

    Here are the best shots from her 39.

    Mandy Mangru did say it was going to be an easy chase.

  20. WI 43-0

    Marufa Akter does pitch it up, but Stafanie Taylor leans into a cover drive, and a poorly-timed dive sees it go away for another boundary.

    Nothing is going right for Bangladesh here.
