CASTRIES, Sep 17 (AP): Veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul completed his 30th Test century and left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn followed with 5-72 Tuesday as the West Indies defeated Bangladesh by 296 runs late on day four of the second Test.
The West Indies, playing its landmark 500th Test, swept the two-Test series 2-0.
Chanderpaul's unbeaten 101 allowed the West Indies to declare its second innings at 269-4 early in the day.
Bangladesh, set 489 for an unlikely victory, was bowled out for 192 in the final over of the day. Benn's second five-wicket haul of the series was supported well by fast bowler Jerome Taylor, who claimed his 100th Test wicket on his way to figures of 3-39.
For the visitors, Tamim Iqbal top-scored with 64 and left-hander Mominul Haque contributed 56, the pair adding 110 for the third wicket to give the visitors hope. But once Benn removed Tamim, the innings went into terminal decline, the last eight wickets tumbling for 34 runs in an hour and a half.
Earlier, the West Indies added 61 runs in 10 overs after resuming in a position of strength at 208-4. Chanderpaul and Jermaine Blackwood extended their unbroken fifth wicket stand to 169.
Blackwood, resuming on 43, soon brought up his second Test half century and Chanderpaul, who celebrated his 40th birthday a month ago, wasted no time in moving from 63 to another triple figure score.  In doing so, the veteran became the 11th batsman to reach 30 Test tons. The left-hander also became only the second West Indian to score a century after the age of 40, joining Clive Lloyd, who was watching on from the stands in his role as chairman of selectors.
Bangladesh got off to a bright start through Tamim and Shamsur Rahman.
West Indies 380 (Chander- paul 84*, Johnson 66) and 269 for 4 (Chanderpaul 101*, Blackwood 66*) beat Bangladesh 161 (Mahmud- ullah 53, Roach 5-42) and 192 (Tamim 64, Mominul 56, Benn 5-72) by 296 runs.
