Bangladesh level T20 series with Windies

Captain Shakib Al Hasan produced a career-best 5-21 for Bangladesh to beat the West Indies by 36 runs and level their three-match Twenty20 series.

Bangladesh levelled their three-match Twenty20 series against the West Indies with a 36-run victory in Dhaka.

Liton Das top scored with 60 from 34 balls as Bangladesh made 4-211 after being asked to bat.

Mahmudullah (43 not out) and skipper Shakib Al Hasan (42 not out) shared an unbroken partnership of 91, and the West Indies' run chase soon ran into problems.

Rovman Powell made 50 from 34 balls, but Al Hasan secured the man-of-the-match award with a five-wicket haul and the visitors were dismissed for 175 in the final over.

The series decider will be another day-night affair in Dhaka on Saturday.

"With the large amount of dew, it wasn't easy to grip the ball but we showed lot of character and stuck to our plan," Shakib said.

"It was a good team effort, everyone chipped in. The win gives us confidence ahead of the third game."
