Coming to chase Bangladesh’s 204-run target, the visitors were bowled
out for 139 runs just before tea break on the third day. When the Caribbean top-order
struggled against Bangladesh’s bowling attack, the ninth-wicket partnership
between Sunil Ambris and Jomel Warrican not only took the team’s total from 75
for 8 to 138 for 9 but also revived an implausible hope. They put on 63 runs
for the ninth wicket. Ambris and Warrican scored 43 and 41 runs respectively in
the second innings.
Bangladeshi left-arm spinner, Taijul Islam, alone, bagged six wickets while
Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took two wickets each and together led
the team towards victory. It was Taijul’s seventh five-wicket haul in Tests. Shakib
Al Hasan reached the landmark of 200-Test wickets and became the first
Bangladeshi cricketer to do so. Debutant spinner Nayeem Hasan became the
youngest bowler to pick five wickets on his Test debut.
Early in the morning the host team resumed their second innings on the
third day with overnight score of 55 for 5 and bundled out for 125 runs, thus giving
the touring side a winning target of 204 runs. Mahmudullah Riyad scored 31 runs
and became the highest run getter for Bangladesh in the second innings. He made
a 37-run partnership with Mehidy Hasan for the seventh wicket stand.
Devendra
Bishoo claimed 4 wickets giving 26 runs. He was backed by Roston Chase who took
3 wickets. Jomel Warrican took 2 wickets while Shannon Gabriel bagged one.
