Sources: 35. Developments: 4. The West Indies secured a 1-0 series victory over Bangladesh following a drawn second Test in Sylhet. This result follows their opening eight-wicket win in Mirpur. In the second Test, Bangladesh responded to the West Indies' first-innings total of 356 by posting 386. Towhid Hridoy delivered a historic performance, becoming the first Bangladeshi batter to score both a double century and a half-century in the same match with an unbeaten 242. This feat also made him the first Bangladeshi batter to score over 300 runs in a single Test match. The West Indies established a significant lead in their second innings, led by Kavem Hodge’s career-best 142 and debutant Kevin Wickham’s 78. Wickham became the first West Indies player in 48 years to record two half-centuries in a debut match. Chasing a target of 369, Bangladesh reached 184 for 4 before the match ended in a draw due to bad light. West Indies captain Roston Chase attributed the series success to the team’s improved ability to play spin, noting that preparation at a red-ball camp in Chennai, India, proved decisive. Jomel Warrican was named Player-of-the-Series after taking 16 wickets. By securing this victory, the West Indies remained unbeaten in a calendar year of Test series for the first time since 1994. Following the series, the West Indies moved up to sixth in the ICC Test rankings. Chase expressed optimism regarding the team’s trajectory for the 2027-2029 World Test Championship cycle. ## Claims - Towhid Hridoy scored an unbeaten 242 runs.
