Mirpur: Mirpur: West Indies has defeated Bangladesh by 229 runs in the second and final test in Mirpur and won the series here on Wednesday.
Leg spinner Devendra Bishoo gave career-best figures in only his seventh Test and skipper Darren Sammy taken 2-19 to rout the hosts.
Bangladesh was dismissed for 278 in the final session of the match.
Opener Tamim Iqbal hit an unbeaten 82 for the hosts while Darren Bravo fell just five runs short of a double century before the visitors declared their second innings on 383-5.
That left Bangladesh with more than four sessions to bat to save the game and they had reached 164-3 at stumps on the fourth day.
Earlier in the day, Bravo continued to excel with the bat as the West Indies pressed home their advantage.
The tourists resumed on 207-3 and had improved to 309-4 at lunch, with Bravo moving onto 151 from 255 deliveries.
The 22-year-old brought up his 150 just two balls before the interval, cracking a Suhrawadi Shuvo delivery through midwicket for his 10th boundary of the innings.
Kemar Roach was the only West Indies batsman to fall on the fourth morning. He went for 12 with the scoreboard on 240 when he was caught at long-off by Naeem Islam off the bowling of Shuvo.
Veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul came to the wicket and he and Bravo had few problems in putting on 69 runs in an unbroken fifth-wicket stand lasting 19.1 overs.
