That's a wrap to our coverage of this game. T20 is fast-paced but even by the format's standards, this game went like a flash. Windies were at their supreme best, doling out a flawless performance and will hope to seal the deal in Dhaka. Having said that, the pitches there could suit Bangladesh more and the hosts will want to make a comeback. Sets up the series nicely. Looking forward to your company for the subsequent games. For now, you can hop on to the India-Australia match tab and enjoy the action. Until next time, it's goodbye from us. Cheers!

Brathwaite, winning captain: Very good win but it's only one game. We have started with a win before and then gone on to lose the series in recent times. So, it's important to be respectful of the opposition. Will enjoy this win and come back fresh in the next game. Was important to be aggressive in the first six overs. Needed to express ourselves and we did that with bat as well as ball. May not work everytime but it did work today. We know that the track there in Dhaka will be a lot, lot, lot slower. Cannot rest on our laurels, need to find a way to win.

Cottrell, Man of the Match: Wasn't an ideal pitch for the pacers but we had to be smart. Oshane Thomas bowled particularly well in the Powerplay. (On whether he expected Bangladesh to play such poor shots) I would say we bowled well and stuck to our plans. (On his trademark salute celebration) I am a soldier back in Jamaica, it's a way of showing my appreciation to my colleagues back there.

Shakib, losing captain: Everything (went wrong) apart from the toss. Batting failed and then the bowling also obviously went wrong. Was a good pitch, should have probably got about 180 on the board. You must ask this to the other batsmen (on why they played poor shots). Nothing worked out, starting from our batting till the end of the game. We have to learn from this and move forward.

15:05 Local Time: If this was a boxing bout, it would been KO way before. A rather one-sided contest and the Windies go 1-0 up in this T20I series. 129 wasn't expected to be threatening but nobody predicted this kind of a run chase either. Hope continued his red-hot form with a blistering fifty and his opening partnership virtually killed the game in the Powerplay itself. Pooran and Paul were promoted up the order and the duo completed the formalities with an array of powerful hits. 8 fours and 10 sixes in just 10.5 overs in this innings. That should tell you the kind of hammering that the Bangladesh bowlers suffered. The hosts' batsmen were guilty of throwing wickets away earlier in the day with only Shakib showing some fight. In hindsight, I doubt how many they would have needed because the Windies were in some mood today.

10.5 Shakib to K Paul, leg byes, 1 run, Windies complete an eight-wicket thrashing! Anti-climax if you were expecting a big six to seal the game. Was fired on leg stump, Paul can't connect and it goes off the pads towards short fine leg

10.4 Shakib to K Paul, FOUR, scores level now! Paul uses his feet and wants to seal the game with a big six. Gets it off the inside edge but has enough power to beat long-on

10.3 Shakib to K Paul, SIX, there's another one! Backs away and knows that Shakib is going to fire them in, gets the short length and swivels to slam this over the cow corner fence. Effortless power-hitting

10.2 Shakib to K Paul, SIX, what a massive blow! Some really huge sixes hit today and this will be right up there. Paul charges down the pitch and belts this straight down the ground. 96m blow over the sightscreen

10.1 Shakib to K Paul, no run, slider that keeps low, Paul was backing away and somehow steered this to backward point

9.6 Mahmudullah to K Paul, 1 run, quicker and shorter outside off, punched off the back foot to sweeper cover

9.5 Mahmudullah to K Paul, SIX, sanity restored as far as this innings is concerned. There was a slight lull in the last couple of overs or so and Paul decides that he's had enough of blocking. Stays on the back foot and biffs this half-tracker comfortably over long-on. What power!

9.4 Mahmudullah to K Paul, no run, sits on the back foot again for the cut, no room and chops it to short third man

9.3 Mahmudullah to K Paul, no run, sliding in from around off, Paul stays back and defends it well

9.2 Mahmudullah to Pooran, 1 run, mild appeal for LBW, Mahmudullah feels it's pad first but nah, off the full face of the bat! Luckily, they didn't review this one. Was tapped gently into the off-side for a quick single

9.1 Mahmudullah to K Paul, 1 run, slightly short and Paul cuts it away to sweeper cover

8.6 Shakib to K Paul, 1 run, fractionally short and Paul punches it off the back foot to sweeper cover

8.5 Shakib to Pooran, 1 run, charges down the pitch and strokes this drive down the ground to long-off

8.4 Shakib to Pooran, no run, nicely done by Shakib. This slants across Pooran from around the wicket. Beaten on the outside edge
