Bangladesh skittle West Indies for 61

Bangladesh restored some pride as they wiped the floor with the West Indies, dismissing them for a meagre 61 and winning by eight wickets in the third and final one-day international between the two in Chittagong.

Two behind in the three-game series, the home side ended on a high as they bowled the tourists out for the second-lowest total in their illustrious history, and then chased down the runs they needed in a watchful 20 overs to seal the win.

The only slight mitigation the West Indies could claim was that they were asked to bat first on a track made heavy by a deluge of rain prior to the toss, while batting conditions were hardly ideal for both sides with the ball zipping everywhere.

Only two West Indies batsman – Kieran Powell (25) and Carlos Braithwaite (11) – made double figures, though, as Shakib Al Hasan (four for 16) ripped through their line-up. With the skies still heavy when they started their response, the home side also found the going tough but decisively managed to keep the majority of their wickets intact.
