Taijul snared five wickets for the 15th time in a Test innings to lead Bangladesh to a series-levelling 101-run victory.

Fast bowler Nahid Rana, whose maiden five-wicket haul in the first innings pulled Bangladesh back into contention, had the satisfaction of administering the final rites when he yorked last man Shamar Joseph for his only wicket of the innings.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Bangladesh stand-in captain, praised Tiger’s bowling unit for their first Test victory in the West Indies in 15 years since 2009.

“We have played so many years of Test cricket, almost 25 years, so this was enjoyable. We need to keep improving in certain areas. We always talked about our boys and how we have to win this game. We were not thinking negatively despite being 164 all out,” Miraz said at the presentation.

“The boys bowled especially well. Nahid in the first innings, Taskin and Hasan Mahmud. Second-innings specialist Taijul got five wickets. He was excellent. He has been very good for the last ten years, more than 200 wickets for us. Fast bowling has been all about the process. Tanzim Sakib is also there. We have good fast bowlers at the moment. We think about how to improve in internationals, sometimes we'll make mistakes but we'll learn from that.”

Seamers Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud took two wickets each with Taskin emerging as the leading wicket-taker in the brief series with 11 victims to his name.
