- The second wicket partnership of 85 runs between Shahriar Nafees and Aftab Ahmed is Bangladesh's best for this wicket against West Indies, expunging the 51-run partnership between Shahriar Hossain and Habibul Bashar at Dhaka on 08-10-1999.

- Habibul Bashar registered a golden duck - his second duck in successive innings. In the opening encounter of this year's edition he had recorded a second ball duck against Sri Lanka. It was his fourth duck against West Indies and 16th of his ODI career. His scores in 8 innings against West Indies make an interesting reading: 25, 0, 2, 0, 0, 2, 42 and 0.

- Bashar's duck-percentage of 19.04 is the fourth highest for any batsman, who has played at least 50 innings. However Bashar's percentage is the highest among the specialist batsmen.

- Dwayne Bravo, by conceding only 14 runs in his 10 overs, achieved the joint second most economical figures in a complete spell of 10 overs in ICC Champions Trophy along with New Zealander Daniel Vettori (v USA at The Oval on 10-09-2004). Only Muttiah Muralitharan (10-4-9-0 v West Indies at Nairobi Gymkhana on 04-10-2000) has returned better figures in an ICC Champions Trophy match.

- Chris Gayle (104*) scored 13th hundred of his ODI career - his first against Bangladesh. It was also his maiden hundred in the Champions Trophy.

- West Indies' win provided the first ever instance of a side registering a ten-wicket win in the history of the ICC Champions Trophy. The previous biggest victory margin in Champions Trophy games was 9 wickets - achieved on six occasions.

- It was also only the second 10-wicket victory achieved by any side on Indian soil (after South Africa who defeated India at Calcutta in November last year) and 29th such instance in all ODIs. The following table lists the country-wise break-up of 10-wicket wins in ODIs. West Indies lead the tally with 8 instances.

- The victory was 50th for Brian Lara as West Indies' captain (in his 103rd match).He became only the third West Indian after Viv Richards (68 out of 106) and Clive Lloyd (63 out of 83) and 15th captain in all ODIs to do so.

- Gayle won his 15th man of the match award, which puts him at level with Carl Hooper. Now only Viv Richards (31), Brian Lara (30), Desmond Haynes (26) and Gordon Greenidge (20) have won more awards than Gayle for West Indies.
