Things are looking up for the West Indies cricket team.
Following their capture of the World Twenty20 last month, the Caribbean side completed a clean sweep against Bangladesh in a two-match Test series last Sunday.
Ebullient fast bowler Tino Best applied the finishing touches, grabbing a further three wickets to complete a career-best haul of six for 40 that bettered his five for 24 in the first Test.
Bangladesh, resuming on 226 for six, were dismissed for 287, leaving West Indies with a modest target of 27 that was achieved before lunch on the final day.
With the victory, West Indies have won four consecutive Tests for the first time in 19 years.
