Tigers set Windies 256-run target

Opener Liton Das was retired hurt on five while one-down Imrul Kayes failed to manage a single run, but Tamim and Mushfiq then added 111 runs to put Bangladesh in control.

Tamim departed just after reaching his fifty, made with four fours and a six, while Mushfiq soon followed him to the pavillion after scoring 62 in 80 balls, courtesy of five fours.

Shakib and Mahmudullah (30) now added 61 to take the team further. Shakib was the highest-scorer, slamming six fours and a six in his 62-ball 65-run innings

Liton had to leave the field as an Oshane Thomas delivery hurt his ankle, but returning to bat again he could only add three more.

Thomas was the most successful bowler for the visitors, bagging three, while Kemar Roach, Keemo Paul, Devendra Bishoo and captain Rovman Powell claimed one apiece. 

Powell won the second successive toss, but opted to field first today after choosing to bat in the first game.

The match marks the 100th game five senior players of the team—skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah—are playing together.

A win today will seal the three-game series for the hosts, who had also won both the Tests.
