Opener Kraigg Brathwaite, who carried his bat through the first innings with 142 not out, capped a memorable match by finishing with an unbeaten 60 as West Indies secured victory without further loss after resuming at 114 for 5.
Dowrich also scored 60 not out as he and Brathwaite added an unbroken 87 runs for the sixth wicket.
