The two-match Test series ended in a 1-1 draw, but it was anything but uneventful. The first Test saw West Indies declare at 450/9, with Justin Greaves scoring his maiden Test century. Bangladesh, led by Mehidy Hasan Miraz in his 50th Test, fought back but ultimately fell short, with Taskin Ahmed’s six-wicket haul being a rare highlight. The second Test flipped the script—Bangladesh, batting first, posted a modest 164 but bounced back with disciplined bowling. Nahid Rana’s maiden five-for and Taijul Islam’s match-winning spell helped Bangladesh secure their first Test victory in the West Indies since 2009, marking three away Test wins in a calendar year for the first time in their history.
