7.10pm That's all from us for the ODI series. Shai Hope single-handedly made it competitive, but collectively, Bangladesh were too powerful for West Indies. Can the visiting side change the script in the T20Is? Join us on December 17 to find out. Till then, this is Saurabh Somani, signing off on behalf of Hemant and Thilak.
7.04pm Rovman Powell: "Unfortunate for Oshane to miss out. We wanted an extra spinner today. Hope deserves a lot of credit. Lots of things to rectify, we have to go back to the nets and continue to work hard. We are making improvements, it's just that we are not improving at international pace." He also had words of praise for Shai Hope.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz is the Man of the Match. "I am really happy with bowling first because the wicket was turning a little. Thanks to our team-mates. Mushfiqur told Mashrafe that I should bowl when Hetmyer came in to bat, so thanks to Mushy."
Shai Hope is the Player of the Series. Well deserved. "Still a bit dizzy to be honest, but hanging in there. Yes I got a hundred, but obviously you want to win more than getting these hundreds. (On the lack of support adding pressure) Just a bit. But it's important for me to keep it flowing. One of those days."
Finally, we have winning captain Mashrafe Mortaza speaking to raucous cheers from the crowd. "All three matches bowlers have been good. The spinners especially bowled really tight. Overall it's going alright. I think we'll do well in the T20s too, but West Indies are world champions and a very good side in T20s."
6.50pm Both of Bangladesh's wins were dominant. West Indies avoided the ignominy of a sweep thanks to Shai Hope, but that's the only thing they had going for them. For my money, Hope is the Man of the Match today too, though Mehidy will probably get it for his 4-29. But Hope's was a fantastic against-the-odds innings, going completely solo. The next highest for West Indies was 19, while Hope made 108*. His strike-rate was 82.44 - that too dragged down by falling wickets - and no one else scored at more than 60 even.
Malcolm : "Despite his team getting a pasting the one player everyone will remember from this rather forgettable game is Shai Hope. If only there was an award for being an absolute boss in trying circumstances."
ESPNcricinfo looks at five things that Bangladesh have learned from their ODI appearances this year.
Speculation has been rife on the topic, and the Bangladesh captain kept his cards close to his chest
Hope was struck on the helmet during his unbeaten 108, while Roach hurt his right hamstring while bowling
The West Indies captain was given out on what was evidently a no-ball due to fielding infringements by Bangladesh
