The second Test between Bangladesh and West Indies at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium concluded in a draw, allowing the visitors to secure the two-match series 1-0. While Bangladesh produced a determined batting display to avoid defeat, West Indies had done enough in the opening Test to seal the series victory.

The match witnessed several remarkable individual performances, headlined by Towhid Hridoy‘s record-breaking double century and Hasan Mahmud‘s impressive six-wicket haul.

Towhid Hridoy produces a historic double century

The biggest highlight of the contest was undoubtedly Hridoy’s extraordinary unbeaten 242 in Bangladesh’s first innings. The right-handed batter delivered a memorable performance, registering the highest individual score by a Bangladeshi player in Test cricket and surpassing Mushfiqur Rahim‘s previous record of 219 not out.

Hridoy’s marathon innings also featured 11 sixes, setting a new benchmark for the most maximums hit by a Bangladesh batter in a single Test innings. Additionally, he became the first Bangladeshi batter to convert his maiden Test century into a double hundred. His contribution proved crucial in helping the hosts take a first-innings lead of 30 runs.

Hasan Mahmud shines with a six-wicket haul

Bangladesh also had an outstanding performer with the ball, as Mahmud troubled the West Indies batting lineup in the opening innings. The right-arm pacer finished with impressive figures of 6/90, playing a significant role in restricting the visitors to 356. His performance also helped him establish a new record for the most five-wicket hauls by a Bangladesh fast bowler in Test cricket.

Meanwhile, West Indies had their share of batting heroes. Amir Jangoo struck an impressive 133 in the first innings, while Kavem Hodge responded with a brilliant 142 in the second. Debutant Kevin Wickham also made a strong impression, registering scores of 61 and 78 across the two innings to underline his potential at the international level.

Towhid Hridoy and Mushfiqur Rahim secure a draw on Day 5

With West Indies declaring their second innings at 398/6, Bangladesh were handed a challenging target of 369 runs to chase on the final day. The visitors initially looked determined to push for a victory, picking up early wickets and putting pressure on the home side. However, Hridoy once again stood firm, producing an unbeaten 82 to frustrate the West Indies bowling attack.

He received valuable support from Rahim, who remained unbeaten on 40. The experienced batter also reached the significant milestone of 7,000 Test runs during the contest. Their unbroken resistance ensured Bangladesh finished at 184/4, securing a hard-fought draw. Despite missing out on a victory in the second Test, West Indies walked away with a 1-0 series triumph.

Sylhet Test finishes in a draw. Bad light ends play early once again.

West Indies take out the series 1-0. They played very well and deserve the victory.

Bangladesh would’ve fancied their chances at home. A series win would’ve put them right in the mix in the WTC Final race.…
