Posted on by Amelia Pressman

Bangladesh 264 (Shadman 64, Seales 4-5, Shamar 3-49) and 268 (Jaker 91, Shadman 46, Mehidy 42, Roach 3-36) defeated West Indies 146 (Carty 40, Brathwaite 39, Rana 5-61, Mahmud 2-19) and 185 (Hodge 55, Brathwaite 43, Taijul 5-50, Mahmud 2-20) for 101 runs

Bangladesh recorded their first Test win in the West Indies in 15 years when they defeated the hosts by 101 runs in Jamaica. It was a remarkable comeback from the visitors after their big defeat in the first Test in Antigua, with the series ending 1-1. It was cathartic for a side that had lost their last five Tests so resoundingly, as the likes of Taijul Islam, Jaker Ali and Nahid Rana claimed their third away win of 2024 – their highest in a calendar year.
Left-arm spinner Taijul took 5 for 50 in the fourth innings to help bowl West Indies out for 185. It was his 15th five-wicket haul, fourth abroad and first in the Caribbean in 10 years. Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud and Rana took the other five wickets.

Rana took his first Test five-wicket haul in the second innings, helping West Indies to 146.

Bangladesh had scored just 164 in the first innings but their revival in the second innings was also remarkable. This was thanks to Jaker, who hit five sixes and eight fours in a counter-attack of 91. Jaker scored 62 of Bangladesh’s 75 runs in the morning session of the fourth day.
