Bangladesh wrap up ODI series

Bangladesh have taken an unassailable 2-0 series lead, following another resounding seven-wicket victory over West Indies in the second ODI on Friday.

Needing to show a significant response after a heavy defeat on Wednesday, the inexperienced West Indian team stuttered again with the bat.

A poor effort to post a reasonable total was undone by a brilliant bowling effort by Mehidy Hasan, who claimed 4-25, while Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman added two wickets each as the West Indies were bowled out for 148.

Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal led his side’s run-chase once again, scoring a patient half-century before departing for 50.

Al Hasan stood firm as well with a handy knock of 43, which helped Bangladesh get over the line with 16 overs remaining.

The final ODI between the two teams will get under way on Monday.
