Ruthless West Indies humiliated Bangladesh with the bat and ball in front of their own fans, skittling the World Cup co-hosts for their lowest ever ODI score of 58 before chasing down the target in 12.2 overs.
Left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn claimed four wickets while Kemar Roach and Darren Sammy bagged three scalps each as Bangladesh were flattened in 18.5 overs.
The crowd reacted angrily, throwing placards, caps, logos and even team jerseys on to the outfield.
The boos around the Shere Bangla National Stadium could still be heard when the West Indian openers Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo came out to bat but Shakib Al Hasan's men were powerless to stop the visitors winning by nine wickets.
Bangladesh's score of 58 was the lowest total in this year's World Cup.
Gayle tried to explain the Bangladesh collapse.
"The wicket seemed to be doing a bit, I mean for the spinners, but Kemar Roach did a brilliant job.
"In fact, all our players stepped up to restrict Bangladesh to 60 runs.
"I think this win will take us to the quarter-final but we still can't relax as we have couple of crucial games coming up against Ireland, India and England."
