Fifth Day, lunch at Kingstown. The equation: West Indies require another 211 runs with 8 wickets remaining. If I’m not mistaken, this will be Bangladesh’s first Test match victory against another Test nation. That’d be something, even if it’s against the second-string West Indies team currently on display.
Even if Bangladesh win, there will always be an asterisk across the entry. It is a thankless job for Bangladesh. If they lose, it is humiliating. If they win, it is no big deal winning against an inexperienced team. In fact, if they win after playing miserably so far, it only serves to hide their weaknesses and prolongs their stay at the bottom of the Test cricket world.
