Time for the presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, Bangladesh made a strong start after opting to bat, but West Indies fought back by tightening things up during the middle overs. Just when it looked like the hosts had gained control, Jaker Ali took charge. A dramatic run-out incident involving Shamim Hossain and Jaker saw the latter storm off the field before the third umpire intervened, correctly adjudging Shamim out. After his return, Jaker was unstoppable, blasting a brilliant 41-ball 72, which helped Bangladesh finish with 189. For West Indies, Roston Chase was the most economical, conceding just 15 runs from his 4 overs while also picking up a wicket. Their death bowling continued to be a concern, as they conceded 75 runs from the final 5 overs.

With 190 never having been chased before in T20Is at Arnos Vale Ground, West Indies were up against history. They were rocked early in the Powerplay, losing three of their top four batters. From that point, the hosts could never recover as Bangladesh kept chipping away at the wickets. Litton Das rotated his bowlers effectively, and the bowlers responded brilliantly. Romario Shepherd was left with too much to do with the tail, and his departure was the final nail in the coffin for the hosts. All 5 bowlers used had at least a wicket to their name but it was Rishad Hossain who stood out with figures of 3 for 21 from his 4 overs.

History created in Kingstown! Bangladesh have whitewashed West Indies for the first time in a bilateral T20I series. After being blanked 3-0 in the ODI series, the Tigers have roared back in style to exact sweet revenge on the hosts. West Indies have been thoroughly outplayed and outclassed by the visitors, and they will end the year on a disappointing note.
