The West Indies cricket side wrote a piece of history in the second ODI match against Bangladesh in the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Behind on the series 0-1 and with a must-win condition, the visitors opted for a drastic measure by playing an all-spin bowling line-up, a first-time happening in the history of One Day Internationals. The unorthodox approach arrived because of the spin-friendly environment of Dhaka, which has always worked in the favour of slower bowlers. West Indies got off to a good start during their 208-chase in the first ODI and were cruising at 79-1 before crumbling to 133 all out. Bangladesh spinner Rishad Hossain was the difference-maker, claiming six wickets to take his side to the win. Hoping to learn from their defeat, the West Indies switched pace for spin and proceeded to bowl all 50 overs with the help of pure spinners alone, becoming the first full member nation to do so in ODI cricket.

The West Indies spinners-maintained tightness all through, with persistent pressure from both ends. Nonetheless, Rishad Hossain again proved to be a game-changer with the bat, scoring a brisk cameo of 39 runs off 14 deliveries to take Bangladesh to a decent score. Bangladesh also employed five spinners in the match, while their only fast bowler was Mustafizur Rahman. Collectively, the two teams established another world record, most overs of spin bowled in an ODI match. Combined, Bangladesh and West Indies bowled 100 overs of spin, breaking the earlier record of 78.2 overs held by Afghanistan and Ireland in Dehradun. The match went to the Super Over where the visitors clinched the victory. West Indies successfully defended the target of 11 runs in the Super Over, levelling the series 1-1.

Overdependence on these surfaces restricts the nurturing of pace bowlers and exposes the team to difficulties in foreign conditions, where the ball does everything except turn. If Bangladesh keeps depending only on spin-friendly wickets, then their competitiveness in ICC tournaments and overseas bilateral series could get affected. For the country's cricket to become more robust, a balance between spin and pace-friendly pitches is needed.
