Shafiul Islam leaps in the air after dismissing Darren Bravo during the third and last match of the Walton ODI Series at Chittagong Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Tuesday. mainoor islam manikShakib Al Hasan?s superb bowling helped Bangladesh end the Walton ODI Series on a high as the Tigers handed the visiting West Indies side a crushing eight-wicket defeat at the Chittagong Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium (ZACS) on Tuesday. Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and invited the opponents to bat first.
With four changes in the side, local pacer Nazmul Hossain and Shafiul Islam managed to contain the runs as Windies openers Danza Hyatt and Kieran Powel made a slow start.
Tigers got their first breakthrough when Nazmul got Hyatt caught in the slips in the sixth over.
Soon it was speedster Shafiul who sent the packed stands at ZACS into a tizzy, dismissing the ever-dangerous Marlon Samuels who could manage only five.
Nasir Hossain then struck twice in consecutive deliveries in the 11th over, but it was only the beginning.
Shafiul then picked Darren Bravo?s wicket in the 13th over as he had to walk back to the dressing room with a duck.
In the following over, former Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was brought into attack and he was spot on with his first delivery, picking up Sammy?s wicket to put the visitors into more trouble.
Two overs later Shakib gave his side another reason to celebrate as he dismissed Denesh Ramdin, leaving the visitors? score at 45 for seven.
When left-arm spinner Suhrawardi Shuvo, who replaced Abdur Razzaq in the last match of the series, caught and bowled Andre Russell in the 16th over, it seemed that the Windies side would lose all their wickets before 58, the figure Bangladesh could manage against them during the 2011 World Cup.
But, the visitors scored 61, much to the disappointment of the home fans who wanted West Indies to score less than 58.
Shakib was the tormentor-in-chief as he picked four wickets in five overs giving away only 16 runs.
In reply, Bangladesh lost opening batsman Imrul Kayes in the fourth over as Kemar Roach struck.
The other opener, Tamim Iqbal was then joined by Shariar Nafees, replacement of Mohammad Ashraful for the match, but Nafees could hardly make any difference as he was out for a duck.
Later, Tamim and Mushfiqur Rahim led the team to an eight-wicket victory in style.
Tamim remained unbeaten for the first time in his career scoring 36 runs, while Mushfiq scored 10.
Shakib was adjudged the Man of the Match for his four-wicket haul as Bangladesh got a Test playing nation all out within 100 for the second time in history.
In 2009, Zimbabwe were all out at just 44 at the same venue.
