7.46pm That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. Hope you enjoyed our coverage of this historic Bangladesh win. A lot for Jason Holder and West Indies to worry out. Keep an eye out on our website tomorrow morning, because West Indies are supposed to release their final World Cup squad then. Till then, it's goodbye.
Azweer: "@Tamim Sarker: so it's gonna be a double dhamaka in Dhaka"
7.41pm Smiles in the Bangladesh camp. Mortaza hugs coach Rhodes after giving a mighty cuddle to Soumya Sarkar
Shishir : "Finally first multinational tournament trophy!! Congratulations Bangla Tigers!! From Nepal!!"
Aj : "For the love of God Keemo Paul in for Roach please "
Shuvashish Roy: "We have never seen such well-poised and synchronised Bangladesh cricket team before. This would be our World Cup. #ShabashBangladesh"
Azweer: "So tomorrow will be a national holiday in Bangladesh....!!!"
Noise.of.silenc: "-What do we say to the GOD of cricket??? -NOT TODAY! ;)"
Tamim Sarker: "@Azweer- Its already national holiday for us tomorrow! Buddha Purnima"
Hridoy: "Mosaddek was 7 from 9 ball. And reached fifty in 20th ball. This is some hitting."
Dr. Engr. Md. M: "Congratulations Bangladesh Cricket Team for the wonderful victory. Worth to see the match without sleeping."
7.40pm Terrific scenes in the Bangladesh camp. They've won with seven balls to spare. It wasn't easy, with Shakib unavailable, but they were terrific in the last four overs of West Indies' innings after which their batsmen kept the tempo going through the innings. First, it was Soumya Sarkar, who struck a half-century in 27 balls. Mushfiqur Rahim chipped in too, but when it mattered, Mosaddek Hossain stood up to take his team through.
ador: "Wonderful batting display, wonderful Soumya, wonderful Mosaddek! "

West Indies have lost to Bangladesh in both league games. Can they turn their fortunes in the grand finale?
