Taskin slices through Windies for series win: 2nd T20 (St Vincent)

Seamer Taskin Ahmed (3-16) spearheaded a superb bowling effort as Bangladesh defended a modest total to claim a series-clinching 27-run victory over the West Indies in the second T20 at Arnos Vale.

The West Indies top order crumbled again to be 42 for 6. They were eventually bowled out for 102 as Tanzim Hasan Sakib and wrist-spinner Rishad Hossain took two wickets each to share the spoils.

Earkier, Jaker Ali scored 21 off 20 balls on a difficult pitch while Rishad and Mahedi found crucial boundaries as the visitors moved from 80 for 6 in 15 overs to 129-7.

Bangladesh 129 for 7 (Shamim 35*, Mehidy 26, Motie 2-25) beat West Indies 102 (Chase 32, Hosein 31, Taskin 3-16) by 27 runs.
