Holding a 27-run first-innings lead, Bangladesh suffered a disastrous batting collapse in their second innings, finishing Day 3 at 6 wickets for 79 runs and holding an overall lead of 106 runs against West Indies in the Mirpur Test.
Despite restricting West Indies to 245 all out earlier in the day—sparked by Nayeem Hasan's brilliant spell of 4 for 33 (making him the fastest Bangladeshi to 50 Test wickets) alongside Tagenarine Chanderpaul's resistance (56)—the hosts failed to consolidate their advantage. West Indian spinners and pacers dismantled Bangladesh's top order, reducing them to 35 for 5 and later 53 for 6. Opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim (0), Shadman Islam (13), first-innings centurion Towhid Hridoy (0), captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (10), Litton Das (4), and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (9) all fell cheaply.
