Bangladesh is looking favourite in the match now. Their batting performance was surprising in the second innings. The run rate was very poor for both teams in first innings. Some players of Bangladesh have played aggressively in the second innings which helped them to take a good lead. Now the target is 287 runs for West Indies. Everything will depend on how WI batsmen face Nahid Rana's ball in this innings.

In the end, West Indies were bowled out for 185 runs by Taijul Islam's fiery whirlwind and also defeated Bangladesh by 101 runs to end the Test series at 1-1. But the contribution of Zakir Ali and Taijul Islam in the second innings is really commendable. If Zakir Ali did not increase the score in T20 style, Bangladesh would have been under a lot of pressure. However, Nahid Rana's bowling in the first innings and Taijul Islam's bowling in the second innings played a great role for Bangladesh to win this match.

A match can go in favour of any team unlike the initial performance. This match between Bangladesh and West Indies is an example. At the beginning of the match, it looked like an easy win as Bangladesh ended its innings for 164 runs. Later, the West Indies had a comfortable start, but the same got collapsed by the bowlers of Bangladesh. Particularly Nahid Rana had a five-wicket haul and changed the match scenario. In the second innings, Taijul Islam had a five-wicket haul and won the match for Bangladesh.
