Carty was steady at the other end, already having struck two fours. Afif dropped him on 22 before Carty went after Bangladesh spinners in the middle over.
Motie remained unbeaten 44 runs off 31 balls, hitting three sixes and fours. Bangladesh posted 321 for 5 wickets on the back on four fifties. Mahmudullah and Jaker Ali added 150 runs in an unbroken sixth-wicket stand.
Mehidy had a positive start, hitting five boundaries in the powerplay. His 77 runs, along the likes of Mahmudullah’s 84 and also a steady 73 runs from Soumya Sarkar made an impressive total, but proved to be insufficient against a resurgent West Indies side.
The first T20I match of the West Indies-Bangladesh will begin on December 16 at Arnos Vale Stadium.
