(Reuters) - Andre Russell bowled an immaculate final over to help West Indies pip Bangladesh in a low-scoring thriller by three runs for their first Super 12 win on Friday that kept their Twenty20 World Cup title defence alive.
Both sides came into the contest with two defeats from as many matches and Bangladesh needed 13 in Russell's final over to chase down West Indies' 142-7 - built on Nicholas Pooran's 40 off 22 balls - on a low and slow wicket at Sharjah.
