That's that then. After all the drama in the cricketing world in the last week, we see a series wrapped up with a side scoring less than 300 runs in 2 matches and losing 20 wickets. Bangladesh can be very proud of themselves and how clinical they have been whereas West Indies need to go out there and play with freedom in the third ODI to salvage some pride, since this series has exposed a gaping hole in the benchstrength of the team. That's it from us. Cheers!

Tamim Iqbal | Bangladesh captain: It was nice to spend some time in the middle. There is a lot of hunger in the dressing room, and there are people breaking the door down like Saif and Taskin. Good, healthy competition in the dressing room and they're working really hard in the nets, so no complaints. Everyone should get a chance to play, even the ones who aren't playing now can perform really well and you'll might see some changes in the final game, so that's not a worry at all.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz | Man of the Match: I'm really happy, because we've gotten to play cricket after a long time, and I've got an award after very long. I wasn't bowling well in the first ODI but wanted to come back strongly. Our spin coach gave us some good advice and I applied myself and got the rewards. Tamim bhai and I have played together in BPL so we get on really well.

Jason Mohammad | West Indies captain: A bit disappointed. A much better wicket but we didn't put the runs on the board. The spinners would always be a challenge, and we didn't build partnerships and lost wickets in clusters, so that's just not good enough. There's some positives, but hopefully some other guys put their hands up as well.

17:33 Local Time, 11:33 GMT, 17:03 IST: Another one-sided affair. It's been a poor tour for this second string West Indies side, exposing their benchstrength's lack of international exposure. The bowling showed some heart though, and did all they could - first to add some runs as the tail, and then to defend the paltry total they had posted. Bangladesh, however slow, managed to crawl to the total in the end courtesy some of the stalwarts of Bangladesh cricket. Easy peasy. Presentations coming up in a moment, but for now, it's 2-0 to Bangladesh.

Akeal Hosein to Rahim, 1 run, loopy and down leg, Rahim gets bat on the sweep to short fine leg, and that's a clinical win for Bangladesh - they win the series 2-0!
