Myers is the sixth batsman to score a double century in his debut. Second to Lawrence Rowe for the West Indies. Myers and Enkrumah Bonner, who also took the fourth wicket, formed the second highest pairing of two debutant cricketers in Test history, the highest for the West Indies. This is the best pairing of two debutant cricketers in the fourth innings.

Myers, who started the fifth day with a personal 37, finally secured the visitors victory with an unbeaten 210. He hit 20 fours and six sixes off 310 balls.

The Windies batted in Daputa until the third session on Sunday (February 8) at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. But then Bangladesh turned around and hinted at returning to the match. Taizul Islam and Naeem Hasan took 2 wickets in a row and brought relief to the Tiger camp.

After returning Encrumah Bonner, Bangladesh regained its confidence and did not allow Jermaine Blackwood to stay for long. The Caribbean batsman returned to the dressing room after being bowled by Naeem Hasan for 9 runs.

Earlier, Taizul Islam broke the terrible pairing of Bonner and Kyle Myers. He also became the 300th wicket-taker in both the first-class and international Tests.

At the beginning of the third session, Taizul returned Bonar to the dressing room by trapping him in lbw. Bonner-Myers made a pair of 216 runs off 442 balls in the fourth wicket. Before the return of Bonner as the first wicket of the day, he hit 10 fours and 1 six off 245 balls.

However, Myers completely knocked Bangladesh out of the match by averaging a 100-run partnership with Joshua de Silva for the sixth wicket. Joshua fell victim to Taizul for 20 runs. Later, Mehdi Hasan Miraj returned Kemar Roach for zero, but the Caribbeans had no problem to win.

Miraj took maximum 4 wickets among Bangladeshi bowlers. Taizul got two wickets. Naeem took a wicket.

Myers’ fame was overshadowed by Miraj’s first innings century and a total of 6 wickets in the match. Besides, captain Mominul Haque’s century in the second innings was also in vain.

Earlier, in the first of the two-match series, Bangladesh scored 430 runs in their first innings. In reply, the visitors were all out for 259 runs. Later, the Tigers lost 6 wickets in their second innings and declared the innings at 223 runs.
