Bangladesh Ends 15-Year Drought with Historic Victory Over West Indies

West Indies vs Bangladesh: Scorecard

Seasoned spinner Taijul Islam emerged as the star of the show as Bangladesh secured a historic 101-run victory over the West Indies in Jamaica on Tuesday, marking their first Test win in the Caribbean in over 15 years.

Taijul claimed his 15th five-wicket haul in Test cricket on a gripping fourth day at Sabina Park. His efforts helped bowl out the West Indies for a mere 185 in their second innings, sealing Bangladesh's first Test triumph in the Caribbean since July 2009.

The victory also allowed Bangladesh to level the two-match series at 1-1 and move ahead of the West Indies, climbing to eighth place in the updated ICC World Test Championship standings.
