Bangladesh clinched the one-day series against West Indies with a three-wicket win in the second match in Dominica.

Travis Dowlin hit an unbeaten 100, his maiden ODI ton, in the hosts' total of 274-6 after the home team had chosen to bat first on a hard pitch in Roseau.

But Mohammad Ashraful made 64 and captain Shakib Al Hasan 65 as the tourists reached their target with six balls to spare.

The final ODI takes place in Basseterre in St Kitts on Friday.

And salt was rubbed into the Windies' wounds when paceman Kemar Roach and captain Floyd Reifer were called before International Cricket Council officials after the match.

Roach was docked 10% of his match fee after he was charged for bowling two high, full-pitched deliveries at Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan.

And Reifer was handed an official reprimand for failing to ensure play was conducted within the spirit and laws of the game.

The hosts were also penalised for a slow over-rate, with skipper Reifer fined 10% of his match fee and his team mates 5% of their fees each for falling one over short of their target in the stipulated time.
