This 3-2 win showed the team's character better than a 5-0 or 4-1
Although I would have preferred a 5-0 win, but this 3-2 win will really help this team in the long run. Their backs were against the wall and things looked bleak when 3 wickets fell cheaply. Someone with weaker constitution would have folded easily. But, not these young players. It will take some more time, but I think our future looks bright. So, yeah. This was one of the best possible outcomes for the team.

It could have 4-1 too.
We gave away the 3rd match. Should have won that one too.
I am happy NOT delighted.

In fact, we dominated WI for parts of the matches even in the 3rd and 4th game. It could easily have been 5-0. But, WI did not have much hope of winning the first two.

Had we had the best ODI all-rounder in the world then we would've won this series 5-0.

As far as I'm considered we let the WI win the 3rd and 4th so we could raise their hopes only to crush them in the end and win the series in style /revisionism

I would have preferred 5-0 and 4-1 was actually very much on the cards. But well done to the youngsters

I think this really happened. We allowed WI to come so close, but only to deny them in the end. Sweet!

3rd ODI, Marlon kept going aerial and we had no choice to drop them and we were still winning! Mushy decided to bring in RBX to throw some dollies at him so they could actually score.
4th ODI, intentional batting collapse, but not so devastating that we start breaking lowest total records.
5th ODI, top order batting collapse to raise their hopes

Let's not paper over the cracks. I think it showed the character and resolve of players like Mushfiq, Riyad and in the last game, Nasir and Mominul more than anything else. Still, having 2-3 batsmen put their hands up per game isn't so bad when we consider that we used to have one or none at all.

We would have lost this game not to long ago. This bunch does not give up that easily.
