In a thrilling turn of events, Bangladesh claimed a remarkable victory over the West Indies in the second Test at Sabina Park, winning by 101 runs and securing their first Test triumph in the Caribbean in 15 years. The win not only leveled the series at 1-1 but also marked a significant milestone in Bangladesh's journey as a formidable Test side away from home.

Bangladesh's Resurgence

After a disappointing start in the first Test, Bangladesh displayed unwavering determination. Leading the charge was Jaker Ali, who delivered a sensational knock of 91 off 106 balls in the second innings. His fearless approach, marked by five towering sixes and eight boundaries, helped set a challenging target of 287 runs for the West Indies.

With the ball, Nahid Rana was a revelation. The young pacer claimed his maiden five-wicket haul (5/61) in the first innings and followed up with two crucial wickets in the second. Meanwhile, Taijul Islam spun magic on a turning pitch, dismantling the West Indies batting order with figures of 5/50, securing his 15th career five-wicket haul.

At the top of the order, Shadman Islam laid a solid foundation, scoring a composed 64 in the first innings and adding 46 in the second, ensuring Bangladesh remained competitive throughout.

West Indies' Struggles
Despite their best efforts, the West Indies fell short. Captain Kraigg Brathwaite fought hard with scores of 39 and 43 in the two innings, while Keacy Carty offered resistance with a gritty 40 in the first innings. However, it was Kavem Hodge who stood out in the second innings, top-scoring with 55 off 75 balls. His dismissal, however, signaled the beginning of the end for the hosts.

On the bowling front, Jayden Seales showcased immense promise, tearing through Bangladesh's first innings with figures of 4/5. Yet, his efforts couldn't prevent the visitors from mounting a formidable comeback.

Match Recap
Bangladesh's first innings total of 164 seemed modest, but Nahid Rana's brilliance helped skittle out West Indies for just 146. The visitors then rallied in the second innings, posting 268, thanks to Jaker Ali's heroics. Faced with a daunting target of 287, West Indies crumbled under pressure, bowled out for 185, sealing a historic win for Bangladesh.
