Leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo grabbed 5-90 as the West Indies trounced Bangladesh by 229 runs in the second and final cricket Test in Dhaka on Wednesday to wrap up the series 1-0.

Bangladesh, who were set an improbable victory target of 508 runs, were shot out for 278 soon after lunch on the fifth day at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.

Bishoo, the Guyanese bowler who turns 26 on Sunday, returned with career-best figures in only his seventh Test and skipper Darren Sammy chipped in with 2-19 to rout the hosts.

The emphatic win after the drawn first match in Chittagong provided a massive morale-booster for Sammy's men, who begin a three-Test series in India on Sunday.
