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.
