NEW DELHI: Roston Chase and Ackeem Auguste struck brisk half-centuries as West Indies defeated Bangladesh by five wickets with 19 balls to spare on Friday, completing a 3-0 sweep in the T20I series.
Pacer Romario Shepherd (3/36) made history by claiming a hat-trick - becoming only the second West Indian to achieve the feat in T20Is after Jason Holder.
Bangladesh, powered by opener Tanzid Hasan's superb 89 off 62 balls with nine fours and four sixes, were bowled out for 151 in 20 overs. In reply, West Indies cruised to 152/5 in 16.5 overs, thanks to a 91-run stand for the fourth wicket between Auguste and Chase.

Shepherd's delight
Shepherd's three wickets came across two overs - dismissing Nurul Hasan for 1 in the 17th over and then he returned to bowl the last over and dismissed Tanzid and Shoriful in the first two balls.
Bangladesh captain Liton Das had won the toss and opted to bat first.
The hosts appeared headed for a big total when Saif Hassan (23) and Tanzid added 63 for the third wicket.
Holder (2-32) got the better of Hassan and sparked a collapse that saw Bangladesh lose the last seven wickets for 33 runs.
West Indies won the second Twenty20 by 14 runs and the opener by 16 runs.
