Bangladesh thrash Windies by 8 wickets

Bangladesh renovates some pride as they thrashed West Indies by eight wickets in the third and final ODI in Chittagong. Two behind in the three-game series, the home side ended on a high as they bowled the tourists out for a meagre 61 - the second-lowest total in their memorable history - and then chased down the runs they required in a watchful 20 overs to seal the win.

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 on his way to 150 ODI wickets. With the skies still heavy when they started their response, the home side also found the going tough but resolutely managed to keep the greater part of their wickets intact.

Pinch-hitting openers Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes took them to 24 without loss from the first four overs, although their partnership was ended. A collapse of West Indies extent looked a possibility 13 balls and five runs later when Shahriar Nafees lost his stumps to Marlon Samuels, but Mushfiqur Rahim joined Tamim at the crease and the two put on a ship-steadying partnership of 32 to see them over the line. Tamim`s 62-ball 36 was the match-winner, with Mushfiqur adding a careful 10.
