Ruthless Windies humiliate Bangladesh to win series 2-0

Wed, Sep 17, '14

GROS ISLET, St Lucia (CMC) – A century from Shiv Chanderpaul, Sulieman Benn’s five-wicket haul and three wickets from Jerome Taylor helped, as West Indies ran rings around Bangladesh to win by 296 runs in the second Test and claim a two-nil series win yesterday.Chasing an insurmountable 488 to win, Bangladesh collapsed from 158 for three to 188 all-out in the final session of the fourth day of the five-day match as West Indies produced another commanding performance.
Tamim Iqbal and Mominul Haque staged an amazing fightback for the tourists by adding 110 runs for the third wicket after coming together at 48 for two.
In only their second hundred-partnership of the series opener Iqbal played patiently to reach a top score of 64 while Haque contributed 56.
But when Benn broke the partnership by removing Iqbal the rampaging Caribbean boys pressed home the advantage to seal a lopsided victory in the 500th Test of their history.
