Bangladesh
either had to play out the day or score 344 runs to win the match. With
defense not their cup of tea, they chose the other path but fell short
miserably. West Indies continued to probe and Bangladesh continued to
falter on the last day of the second and last Test. The result was
obvious, a big win for the visitors and heartbreak, yet again, for the
hosts.
Bangladesh’s
hopes of a miracle were dashed just in the third over of the day when
Tamim got out to Bishoo after adding just a single to his overnight 82.
To a fuller wider delivery, he charged down to hit into the covers but
nicked straight to Sammy in slips. The third umpire confirmed the edge
was clean and Bangladesh were again up against it.
Mushfiqur Rahim was going along smoothly as Shakib joined him. He too did not opt for defense and showed positive intent from the outset. After a stand of 88 runs between the two, Shakib got out to Sammy after scoring his second 50 of the match. Devendra Bishoo, who was causing trouble with his guile, got Rahim out with a classical leg break. He was earlier reprieved by the umpire against the same bowler. He made 69 with the help of 9 fours.
Bishoo then hurried Bangladesh’s slide by getting three quick wickets soon after Lunch. They all burst in joy when Kemar Roach shattered the stumps of Rubel Hossain, the last man. West Indies won by a big margin of 229 runs. Bishoo was the star for Windies, as he took his first 5-fer in Tests.
This is first overseas series win for Windies in almost 9 years, and a first away Test win in 4 years. But they have a much tougher job ahead when they land in India for their next series. Bangladesh too will have to improve if they are to give Pakistan, their next hosts, a tough time.
Summarised Scores:
West Indies 355 all out (Kirk Edwards 121, Kieran Powell 72; Shakib al Hasan 5/63 Nasir Hossain 3/52) and 383/3 (Darren Bravo 195, Kirk Edwards 86; Shuvo 3/73) beat Bangladesh 231 all out (Shakib 73, Fidel Edwards 5/63) and 278 all out (Tamim 83, Mushfiqur Rahim 69; Bishoo 5/90) by 229 runs
