Rishad’s spin further dismantled the Caribbean side, who were all out for 117 in the 29th over. The top scorer was Akil Hossain with 27 runs at number 10. Justin Greaves tried to resist but couldn’t make a meaningful impact.

For Bangladesh, Nasum Ahmed and Rishad Hossain claimed 3 wickets each, while Miraz and Tanvir Islam took 2 wickets apiece.
