Bangladesh scored 6-158 in reply to the hosts 5-193 in Roseau, Dominica on Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Opener Brandon King scored 57 runs off 43 deliveries and captain Nicholas Pooran hit a 30-ball 34 after West Indies chose to bat first.
Left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam took 2-40 off four overs.
Bangladesh recovered from 3-23 as Shakib Al Hasan top-scored for the visitors with an undefeated 68 off 52 deliveries, including five fours and three sixes. It was the highest score of the match but they still fell 35 runs short.
Quick Romario Shepherd was the pick of the West Indies bowlers, finishing with 2-28 off his four overs.
The first T20 on Saturday was washed out. Bangladesh reached 8-105 from 13 overs with the match already having been reduced to 14 overs per side. That game was the first cricket international at Windsor Park since it was rebuilt after being severely damaged in 2017 by a hurricane.
The third and final T20 is scheduled for Thursday in Providence, Guyana, followed by a three-match ODI series.
West Indies swept the two-match Test series last month with convincing seven and ten-wicket wins.
