West Indies beat Bangladesh by 4 wickets
Bangladesh spinners scalped three wickets at regular intervals, but Marlon Samuels is still in charge of West Indies chase.
Kieran Powell and Marlon Samuels put up a 111-run partnership, before Powell was stumped while going for a big hit.The visitors got off to a poor start as they lost opener Chris Gayle (4) early in their chase of 228 in the third one-dayer.
Mahmudullah (52) and Sohag Gazi's (30) late surge helped Bangladesh reach a respectable total. Bangladesh failed to play out the full overs and were all out in 49.1. For West Indies, Sunil Narine returned with impressive figures of 4 for 37 while V Permaul and Darren Sammy claimed two wickets each.
At one point Bangladesh were going strong, but Narine's three wickets and one each from Gayle and Permaul helped West Indies pull things back after a 57-run opening stand.
Earlier, Sammy won the toss and opted to field but his decision seemed to have backfired when Tamim and Anamul Haque put on a half-century stand. But Sunil Narine struck three blows in the space of just 10 runs to bring some relief for the visitors.
Tamim (22) was out caught by the wicketkeeper while attempting a cut while Islam (2) played early and lobbed a simple catch in the covers and Haque (33) was trapped in front by Narine to make it 67 for 3 from 57 for no loss.
Watching pitch assisting Narine, Sammy brought on left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul who struck quickly to send back Nasir Hossain (6) out caught by Kieron Pollard.
Captain Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque then tried to steady the ship but could only the score as far as 110 when Gayle joined his fellow spinners in the wicket-takers' list. He dismissed Haque for 12.
Bangladesh lead the five-match series 2-0, winning the first two matches with huge margins.
