The visitors lost five batsmen in the first 12 overs at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur in Dhaka.
Shimron Hetmyer and Shane Dowrich were on the crease while team score was 32 for five in 13/1 overs.
Shakib Al Hasan struck twice and Mehidy Hasan Miraz took another three wickets.

Miraz removed three batsmen Kieran Powell, Shai Hope and Roston Chase.

Earlier, a late century by Mahmudullah powered Bangladesh to 508 all out in their first innings playing in 153.6 overs.
Besides Mahmudullah, Shadman Islam, Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das are the other batsmen who rolled over Windies bowlers in the innings.
Mahmudullah had to wait a long period of eight years to hit his second Test ton against Zimbabwe in the last Test of Bangladesh’s previous home series as he smashed his maiden one in 2008 against New Zealand.
But this time, Mahmudullah smashed two Test-tons in a span of three weeks.
