Two good partnerships handed Bangladesh a major advantage over West Indies in the second T20I as per the home captain Shakib Al Hasan. After Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar added 68 for the second wicket, Shakib and his deputy Mahmudullah added 91 in the last seven overs in an unbroken fifth-wicket partnership as Bangladesh posted 211 for 4. West Indies threatened to chase that down at times but ultimately fell short by 36 runs.
Shakib said the Bangladesh batsmen learned from their bullish approach in Sylhet and batted better in Dhaka.
