fuller on the leg stump. Mahmudullah flicks it to midwicket where Smith drops the catch. A reflection on the fielding in the last few overs and Mahmudullah gets to his half-century with that. Bangladesh have won by Three wickets

Full commentary
As has been the theme of the series. West Indies got Bangladesh into an uncomfortable position but could not quite keep them down and will have 3-0 to show for their efforts. On the other hand Bangladesh found one player or the other to raise their hands up in crucial moments
On reflection West Indies will find that their inability to play out the overs and the dropped catch of Mahmudullah off the first ball he faced cost them dear
Join us in a short while for the presentations
Reifer feels another 15-20 runs would have made the difference and more partnerships were required at the top of order and he congratulates the Bangladesh team on winning the series
Shakib says that they were looking forward to this series and is happy that they have won the series. He is also happy with the fact that someone or the other raised their hands up in times of need and were counted
Mahmudullah is the Man of the match and says that he enjoyed the knock as he scored a half-century after some time and feels that he enjoyed his batting as the series was already won
Shakib Al Hasan is the Man of the series
Thats it from all of us at Cricinfo. Have a good night's sleep and join us for the T20 international on Sunday
