Hridoy ensures draw in Sylhet; WI beat Bangladesh 1-0 in series

Cricinfo – With an 82 in the fourth innings, Towhid Hridoy ensured Bangladesh completed a hard-fought draw against West Indies in the Sylhet Test. The visitors clinched the series 1-0 on account of their eight-wicket win in Mirpur. West Indies remain unbeaten in all Test series in a calendar year for the first time since 1994.

The umpires called off play at 3.45pm local time due to bad light, before the match was ended at 4pm. This is the first drawn Test in Bangladesh since May 2022, 18 Tests between the two stalemates.

West Indies continued their dominance in Bangladesh, having now won two Test series in a row since 2021. They finish their World Test Championship cycle in style too, while Bangladesh have only five days to get ready for the Johannesburg Test from November 15.
