Windies v Bangladesh

There was promise of a contest when West Indies were restricted to 247, but all hope evaporated by the 17th over when Sunil Narine prompted a collapse that virtually guaranteed a Bangladesh defeat. Tamim Iqbal, playing his most composed knock in ten months, became the third wicket in the space of seven balls, and with that Bangladesh's chances were almost extinguished.

West Indies eventually won by 177 runs - their largest victory over Bangladesh, who were shot out for 70 - completing their first ODI series win since February 2013. They did enough with the bat, and then toyed with Bangladesh's patience with the ball.
