Bangladesh delivered a remarkable performance to secure a historic 101-run win over West Indies in the second Test at Sabina Park, Kingston. The victory not only leveled the two-match series 1-1 but also marked Bangladesh’s first Test win in 15 years on Caribbean soil. Further, it was their third Test win abroad in 2024, after the 2-0 series triumph over Pakistan.

Bangladesh struggle but holds firm in first innings

Batting first, Bangladesh managed a modest total of 164 runs in their first innings. Shadman Islam’s composed 64 and skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz‘s gritty 36 were the highlights in an otherwise inconsistent batting display. The West Indies bowling unit, led by Jayden Seales (4/50) and Shamar Joseph (3/49), kept the visitors under constant pressure.

Nahid Rana sizzles as West Indies falter in response

In response, West Indies faltered with the bat, managing just 146 runs. Nahid Rana emerged as the hero for Bangladesh, claiming an impressive 5-wicket haul for 61 runs. Hasan Mahmud supported him with two crucial dismissals, ensuring a slender but significant 18-run lead for the visitors.

A dominant second innings by the visitors

Bangladesh’s second innings saw a far more determined batting display. Mehidy Hasan led from the front with a brisk 42, while Jaker Ali contributed a vital 91. Their efforts propelled Bangladesh to a respectable total of 268, setting West Indies a challenging target of 287 runs. Alzarri Joseph (3/73) and Shamar (4/80) once again impressed with the ball for the hosts.
