Spinners Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Nasum Ahmed combined for seven wickets as Bangladesh eased past West Indies to register a series victory against hosts West Indies.

Bangladesh cruised to their biggest win away from home, making short work of the 109-run chase to close out the series with a game in hand.

The clinical nine-wicket win gave the visitors an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Bangladesh has now won six of their last seven bilateral ODI series.

Despite the absence of veteran Shakib-Al-Hasan, the spin duo of Mehidy Hasan Miraz (4/29) and Nasum Ahmed (3/19) combined to ensure West Indies could only muster a disappointing total of 108 after they were sent in to bat by Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal.

That victory target was never in doubt, with Tamim leading from the front in reply with a stylish half-century that allowed Bangladesh to cruise home with more than 29 overs to spare.
