Bishoo spins WI to victory

MIRPUR – Devendra Bishoo exploited favourable conditions to finish with career-best figures and bowl West Indies to a 229-run victory in the second cricket Test against Bangladesh yesterday.
The West Indies leg-spinner grabbed five wickets for 90 runs from 25 overs, as Bangladesh were dismissed for 278 in their second innings on the final day at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium.
Bishoo ended with match figures of eight for 152, the best by a West Indies spinner in an overseas or neutral Test since his compatriot Lance Gibbs collected nine for 143 against India 36 years ago in Mumbai.
Kemar Roach formalised the fourth victory for West Indies in eight Tests against the Bangladeshis when he  bowled Rubel Hossain for seven about half-hour after lunch. (CMC)
