But Bangladesh's hopes of wrapping up a victory swiftly were dashed as Tiripano and Muzarabani dug in to add 41 for the ninth wicket. Tiripano made 52 off 144 balls before edging a good-length delivery from Ebadot Hossain and a diving Das made the catch.

Muzarabani finished unbeaten on 30, having faced 51 balls in 93 minutes and struck four fours. But Bangladesh completed the victory when Richard Ngarava went for a big slog against Mehidy and lost his middle stump.

Mehidy finished with 4-66 to give him nine wickets in the match. The all-format tour by Bangladesh resumes on Friday with the first of three one-day internationals, which will be followed by three Twenty20 internationals.
