Thanks to a disciplined display of bowling and an equally impressive showing with the bat, Bangladesh women's team bounced back to level the three-match ODI series with a comfortable 60-run win over West Indies in the second game at the Warner Park in St. Kitts on Tuesday.

It was a historic moment for the visitors as the Tigresses secured their first victory against the Caribbean side in any format.

In a bid to secure a direct spot in this year's ICC Women's World Cup in India, Bangladesh women's team need to win the series decider on Friday against West Indies to leapfrog New Zealand.

Bangladesh scored 184 all out in 48.5 overs after home skipper Hayley Matthews sent them to bat first.

Bangladesh suffered a nine-wicket drubbing in the first ODI at the same venue. 

Captain Nigar Sultana led the way for the Tigresses with 68 off 120 balls that included five fours as Karishma Ramharack and Aaliyah Alleyne led the West Indian bowling with 4-33 and 3-24 from 10 overs and 5.5 overs, respectively.

Looking to follow up a dominant chase in the first game on Sunday, the West Indians faltered mightily this time around, being dismissed for 124 in only 35 overs.

Shemaine Campbelle led the way with 28 with Cherry Ann Fraser (18*), Hayley Matthews (16), Aaliyah Alleyne (15) and Karishma Ramharack (13) being the only other batters to get to double figures.

Bangladesh were excellent with the ball as a whole with Nahida Akter leading the way with 3-31 from her 10 overs. Nahida was adjudged player-of-the-match.

Fahima Khatun (2-17 from five overs), Rabeya Khan (2-19 from eight overs) and Marufa Akter (2-35 from eight overs) were also very good in support.
