West Indies vs Bangladesh, 1st Test at Kingstown, WI v Bang

Bangladesh Spinners seal historic win against the depleted West Indies side
Bangladesh: 238 (Mortaza 39, Roach 3-46) and 345 (Tamin 128, Sammy 5-70) beat West Indies 307 (Phillips 94, Bernard 53, Mahmudullah 3-59) and 181 (Bernard 52, Mahmudullah 5-51, Shakib 3-39) by 95 runs.

Bangladesh sealed a historic career second test victory when they beat WI by 95 runs in St Vincent. Bangladesh won their first test match four and half years ago. The spin twins Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah were the stars who contributed immensely to this victory. The Victory was sealed at 4:40 pm local time when stand –in Cap Shakib bowled a full toss nailing the last batsman Tino Best with 10 overs to spare. Earlier when the day commenced Bangladesh were not comfortable getting runs. A major 5 wicket haul by Darren Sammy of the WI proved to be a blessing in hindsight as it allowed the Bangladesh spinners t bowl them to Victory.
