Bangladesh claimed their first one-day series success over a current test-playing nation with a three-wicket victory over West Indies to secure a 2-0 lead with one match remaining. The triumph adds to the successful tour of the Caribbean for the Tigers who have also enjoyed their first test series win overseas. Travis Dowlin struck his maiden international century as the weakened West Indies side racked up an impressive 274 for six in their 50 overs. Bangladesh had never chased down such a total in any of their previous 199 ODI games but once again skipper Shakib Al Hasan produced a match-winning performance. Al Hasan (65) and Mohammad Ashraful (64) put on 74 for the fourth wicket in just 10.3 overs - a partnership that turned the match in Bangladesh's direction.
