Utpal Shuvro

At Mirpur, December 10, 2012 (floodlit). Twenty20 international: West Indies won by 18 runs. Twenty20 international debuts: Anamul Haque, Mominul Haque, Sohag Gazi (Bangladesh).

The last match of the tour turned into an exhibition bout between two batsmen: Samuels came out on top after smashing 85 not out from 43 balls with nine sixes - four of them in Rubel Hossain's final over, which cost 29 - to trump Tamim Iqbal's 88 not out from 61. The difference came in the middle overs, when Bangladesh were kept in check by a tight spell from Gayle (4-0-18-0).

Man of the Match: M. N. Samuels.
