Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar wins the toss in Barbados and asks West Indies to bat first in the dead rubber Mashrafe Mortaza produces a beautiful ball to clean up Devon Smith in the third over, with just eight runs on the board Chris Gayle doesn't hang around long either - falling lbw to Syed Rasel and leaving West Indies in deep trouble at 8-2 West Indies make slow progress and Marlon Samuels is soon on his way, with the score at 57-3 in the 22nd over Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul restore order and drag the total past 100, but progress is still slow West Indies continue steadily until Chanderpaul swipes at Aftab Ahmed and is bowled for 50, with the score 138-4 Brian Lara comes to the crease - in his penultimate ODI - and accelerates the run rate with a brisk 33 Sarwan is still there at the end of 50 overs and his gutsy 91 not out steers West Indies to 230-5 Bangladesh show signs of early jitters when Tamim Iqbal is run out and Aftab Ahmed falls soon after with the score on 21 Collymore strikes with his second caught behind to remove Saqibul Hasan for a duck as Bangladesh slump to 23-3 Javed Omar survives a sharp chance to Lara at but is later caught off Daren Powell - as is Mohammad Ashraful Captain Bashar can't dig his side out of trouble and when his wicket falls Bangladesh look all washed up at 53-6 Mortaza contributes a stubborn 37 but when he misses a Dwayne Bravo yorker Bangladesh are 110-7 West Indies are all smiles as Bangladesh lose their last three wickets to hand the hosts victory by 99 runs
