Bangladesh Cricket add yet another historic Test win in their memorable 2024 cricketing year, as they inflict a defeat on West Indies on their home soil for the first time in 15 years.
The feat was achieved after the Bangla Tigers successfully managed to defend a target of 287 in the fourth innings of the 2nd Test match, as Taijul Islam starred for the Asian side with his 15th 5-wicket haul in Tests.
The legendary spinner now sits less than 20 wickets shy off Shakib Al Hasan’s record for most Test wickets in history for Bangladesh.
“It’s always a great feeling to win Test matches in away conditions, which we normally don’t do. These are challenging conditions for us. We had a bit of time for preparations. All the boys put in great effort, and they were dedicated to winning, which made us proud,” said Taijul Islam, who was awarded the Man of the Match.
“Yes, obviously. The fast-bowling group has been performing well for 5-6 years. The spin bowling unit has experience. With the pace and spin attack we have, we’ve been playing well, and everyone’s in good rhythm, so we can definitely compete against any international side in the world,” he added.

With Bangladesh’s win in the 2nd Test, the series is now shared 1-1, as both sides produced sublime quality of cricket throughout the period of past two weeks.
Therefore, it seems to be a great decision to name two ‘Man of the Series’ award winners, as Bangladesh and West Indies went neck-to-neck in every department.
