Bangladesh team has clinched their biggest ever Test win as tigers whitewashed West Indies for the first time at home.
Dominant throughout the match, the Tigers have beaten the West Indies an innings and 184 runs.
Bangladesh was at a sweet spot after posting a massive total of 508 runs in their first innings.
The platform was laid by Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Shadman Islam and Liton Das after the spinner ran through the West Indies batting line up dismissing the visitors in their second innings at 213 after they got off to another bad start after a follow-on and lost the Test.
The only resistance from the visitors was Shimron Hetmyer’s93 off 92 balls, but it was not enough to keep Bangladesh from sealing the biggest win in their Test cricket thus far.
West Indies resumed their first innings on the third day with overnight score of 75 for 5 and were finally dismissed in their first innings at 111.
Miraz, who took three wickets on the second day, picked up the wickets of Shimron Hetmyer, Devendra Bishoo, Kemar Raoch and Shane Dowrich to complete his career best figure of 7-58, after the visitors added only 36 runs with their overnight score losing the remaining five wickets.
Being forced to follow on after trailing by 397 runs in the first innings, the Caribbean were again in trouble as they lost four wicket in the first session of the day in their second innings and eventually all out for 213 after the West Indies batsmen failed to put up any resistance against Bangladesh’s sharp spin attack.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz struck again on West Indies innings in the post lunch session as he removed Shai Hope for 25 runs while Young Star Youngster Nayeem took the wicket of Shane Dowrich before Hetmyer laid seize as Windies score crossed 100, reports BSS.
Having reached his 50 in the same over that Dowrich got out, Hetmyer hit four more sixes, including three in the same over off Shakib Al Hasan.
Mehedi Miraz bagged his third wicket of the innings and his second ten-wicket haul in career — the second Bangladesh bowler after Shakib to achieve this feat, as Devandra Bishoo edged to Soumya Sarkar at slip.
Miraz then accounted the wicket of Hetmyer after the left-hander hit a stormy 92-ball 93 as Windies lost their eighth wicket.
Youngster Nayeem took the wicket of Shane Dowrich before Hetmyer laid seize as Windies score crossed 100. Having reached his 50 in the same over that Dowrich got out, Hetmyer hit four more sixes, including three in the same over off Shakib Al Hasan.
Mehidy completed his fifth wicket haul taking the wicket of Jomel Warrican as the tail ender gave a return catch to Mehidy while Taijul Islam put an end to West Indies’s innings taking the last wicket of Shermon Lewis (20). Miraz, the wrecker in chief, caused the major damage as he grabbed five wickets for 59 runs. He was well supported by Taijul Islam who claimed three wickets conceding 40 runs.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz was elected the man of the match for his 12-wicket haul in the match at Mirpur’s Shere Bangla National Stadium. Earlier, he took his career-best 7-58 which helped to wrap the Caribbean batting lineup at 111 runs in the first innings.
It was the first time when Bangladesh enforced follow-on in a Test Match. It was also the first win by an innings.
