West Indies 213-9 (50 overs): Hope 53*, R Hossain 3-42
In the super over, West Indies won by one run.
With a remarkable super-over win over Bangladesh in Mirpur, West Indies won the first team to record a 50-over innings of spin.
Bangladesh is the second-best host nation to bowl spin, with a 29.76 average since the start of 2023, and the Windies were faced with a second, slow, and turning pitch that resembled the one on which they were sucked out in defeat in Saturday’s first ODI.
The tourists opened the bowling with left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein and part-time off-spinner Roston Chase, who had previously been known for their battery of pace bowlers.
As Bangladesh were forced to make a first change, captain Shai Hope switched to another left-armer, Gudakesh Motie, who took 3-65 as they were restricted to 213-7.
Although Bangladesh’s batting innings had a decent turn, the average deviation was 3.55 degrees less than the turn during the opening ODI, when Seales took 3-48 and Justin Greaves made 3-23.
Greaves and Sherfane Rutherford, both of whom bowl at medium-fast pace, did not feature in the attack.
Seam-bowling star Romario Shepherd was also cut from the starting lineup, along with injured seamers Jediah Blades and Shamar Joseph.
In the regulation innings, Bangladesh switched to Mustafizur Rahman’s pace, bowling eight wicketless overs for 40 runs, but spinners continued to dominate, taking all nine wickets as the visitors came to a score of 213-9 to tie the score.
With only two wickets left in the final over and a previous score of 133-7, West Indies only needed five wickets in the first five balls.
With Hope’s 53 remaining at the non-striker’s end, it was three for one as the wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan dropped the catch, allowing the Windies to steal two and force a super over.
The hosts had to score 11 runs out of their six balls, but spinner Hosein only conceded one as Bangladesh needed three to win.
The Zamfara State Government has successfully conducted ten phases of its free modified medical outreach program, providing treatment to 3,447 individuals.
The Special Modified Medical Outreach Program started in July last year, offering free medical services for cataract surgeries, groin swellings like hernias and hydroceles, vesicovaginal fistula repairs, and health education.
A statement by the Spokesperson of the Zamfara Governor, Sulaiman Bala Idris, disclosed that the free treatments were conducted at Yariman Bakura Special Hospital, General Hospital Gusau, Eye Centre Gusau, and Farida Hospital.
The statement added that the tenth phase of the modified free outreach was conducted in October 2025.
The statement said: “In his resolve to address some identified medical issues, Governor Lawal’s administration launched a free modified medical outreach program to provide medical assistance to vulnerable individuals in need.

“The modified outreach offers free medical treatment for people suffering from common surgical conditions such as cataracts, hernias, hydroceles, and vesicovaginal fistula repairs.
“Besides medical assistance, the program educates citizens about the importance of maintaining good health and wellness. This initiative is a positive step towards improving the community’s overall health and well-being.
“The Outreach, which started in August 2023, has so far treated 3,447 cases in 10 phases using tele-screening to provide specialist care to patients from rural and semi-urban areas, covering the 14 local government areas of the State.
“This remarkable intervention by the Zamfara State Government has enabled patients in remote locations to receive the medical attention they need from qualified professionals.

Jade Goody’s son Freddy has ‘no fixed address’ while expecting first child(Image: Adam Gerrard / Daily Mirror)
Dad-to-be Freddy Brazier, 21, has revealed he doesn’t have a fixed address ahead of welcoming his first child into the world.
The youngest son of late Big Brother legend Jade Goody admitted he wasn’t living with dad Jeff Brazier, instead “couch surfing and loving life”, as he opened up about how he feels about becoming a parent himself.
Freddy and his pregnant on-off girlfriend, Holly Swinburn, made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Pride of Britain Awards last night. Posing together outside the Grosvenor Hotel in London together this evening, Freddy and Holly looked smitten and very much together.
In a new interview, Freddy disclosed: “I’m not living anywhere exactly. It’s a bit of a complicated one. I’m just staying with my friends, couch surfing and loving life. I love a sofa and an air bed”.
Chatting with Closer magazine, the dad-to-be shared how he plans to honour his late mother when his child arrives. “I actually think if the baby is a girl, I’ll call her Jade”, he admitted.
“I think that would be really mad to do so, but I don’t know. We might think of some other names, not that I prefer them, but no one can take that name away from me, so who knows?”
He later admitted he is surprised he hasn’t become a father sooner. “I always knew I was going to be a young dad”, he mused. “It was always going to come at some point. I’ve been silly in the past. I’m surprised it didn’t come earlier, but I’m happy”.
After announcing Holly’s pregnancy, Freddy broke his silence in August by taking to Instagram to share his joy with followers. He posted a photograph of the Canary Wharf skyline, writing in the caption: “I’m actually a DILF to be! !”. He has since posted snaps of Holly and referred to her as his ‘baby mother’.
Meanwhile, his brother Bobby recently revealed his excitement at becoming a “funcle”. Speaking to The Sun, he disclosed he learned the news from his father but ‘ didn’t know what to believe ‘ at first.
Bobby went on to explain that the baby will bring the family together closer than ever before. He enthused: “It’s going to be a team effort. Undoubtedly it will bring us together. My dad is uber supportive and I’m hoping I can take some of that and raise the baby together”.

The Neighbours star has been forced to quit Strictly Come Dancing but is stuck in the UK until November for health reasons

Dianne and Stefan did well on Saturday, despite his muscle injury
Stefan Dennis had already ripped his calf muscle when he performed his Charleston on Strictly Come Dancing last weekend – and only painkillers got him through. But after being forced to leave the BBC ballroom show because of his injury he told of his frustration at being unable to return home and see his wife Gail and three kids.
At Tuesday’s Pride of Britain Awards, held at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, the Neighbours star was among the huge contingent of Strictly Come Dancing celebrities, professional dancers and judges who handed teenager Zach Eagling his award in recognition of all that he has achieved.
Speaking afterwards, Stefan – whose soap character Paul Robinson lost a leg in a cliff fall – admitted to feeling “gutted” to leave the show through injury so soon after he and pro partner Dianne Buswell scored 26 points for their fun Charleston, their highest of the series so far, and he says he feels like he’s letting everyone down.

Not only that, his wife of 25 years Gail Easdale has been left dismayed that he will not be able to travel home until next month, because medics have banned him from getting on an aeroplane. “I can’t fly for another two weeks because of the risk of deep vein thrombosis which my wife is pretty upset about”, he explained. “I just feel like I’ve let everyone down. They all say I haven’t, of course, and the pros know all about injuries, but it feels like a shame to go out in this way. It was all going so well. When you go out, you want it to be because the viewers have spoken, because it’s your time, not like this”.
Stefan, 66, feels guilty for pulling out just a day after viewers watched Chris Robshaw and his partner Nadiya Bychkova get voted out – and even asked producers if Chris could return to the competition in his place. “I said they should keep Chris in now that I’m going but they said they couldn’t do that – once you’ve gone, you’ve gone.”
He thinks that his unscheduled exit will result in there being just three pairings in the final – so long as no one else gets injured along the way. “That’s what has happened before I believe”.
The Neighbours star, who is the oldest in this year’s competition but who keeps himself fit and active with extreme sports in his downtime, said he doesn’t know precisely when the muscle damage was done. “It happened at the end of last week, it was nothing specific, we’d been training as usual and it just started hurting. When I got it checked they said I’d ripped my calf muscle. I got through Saturday night’s show on a truck load of painkillers. They took the edge off a little bit – but not much! I’m still not sure how we got through that routine”.
One reason, perhaps, was because all eyes were on his “brilliant teacher” Dianne, who did a cartwheel on the dance floor during the routine, while five months pregnant. Dianne, who has defended her decision to continue dancing while expecting her first baby with long-term partner Joe Sugg, will now get a well-deserved break as she heads towards the later stages of pregnancy.
“I thought I’d be able to carry on but they said absolutely not”, Stefan sighed. “The muscle needs complete rest. So that’s me done unfortunately”. He said the support and sympathy he’d received from the rest of this year’s celebs had been enormous. “Strictly is this huge machine. And we’ve all got so close, it doesn’t feel like a competition, we all just want each other to do well, every time”.
Announcing his departure on Monday, he wrote on social media: “” I was told that on Saturday I had torn my calf so significantly that I am now forced to withdraw from the show. I owe both the Strictly Family and Dianne a massive debt of gratitude for giving me the opportunity to fulfil my dream of being able to dance with my wife. (When my leg is better). “
His departure comes after he missed week three of the competition due to an unrelated illness”. I had a little bit of a turn, a little bit of an episode with vertigo, “he said at the time”. But it was all OK, I made myself right again with the help of some good people at the hospital. “
Stefan said that the inspirational story of Zach at the Pride of Britain Awards had helped him to deal with his disappointment over the early exit. “Hearing about Zach and his story helped to keep it all in perspective,” he said. “What an amazing young man he is.”

A brain injury at birth left Zach with both cerebral palsy and epilepsy. During lockdown, when he was just eight years old, he walked laps of his garden to raise money for the Epilepsy Society. But after his achievement was celebrated online by the charity, trolls bombarded him with flashing images in a deliberate attempt to trigger his seizures.
Determined to ensure that this could never happen to anyone again Zach, now 14, campaigned to protect those with epilepsy online. Known as Zach’s Law, the legislation officially came into effect in September 2023, making it a criminal offence to troll anyone with epilepsy in a bid to cause seizures – which carries a maximum five year prison sentence.
