Bangladesh defeated the West Indies by six wickets in the rain-affected first One-Day International of a three-match series at the Guyana National Stadium on Sunday.
Mahmudullah was the top scorer for Bangladesh with an unbeaten
41 runs innings while Nazmul Hossain Shanto scored 37 and skipper Tamim Iqbal
scored a quickfire 33.
Shoriful Islam's best figures limited the West Indies to 149
for nine batting first against Bangladesh in the rain-affected opening one-day
International.
In a match reduced to 41 overs per side due to a delayed
start caused by heavy overnight showers, Shoriful's haul of four for 34 with
his left-arm seamers ensured the home side were never able to properly recover
from early setbacks on a pitch which made free scoring difficult.
Spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz played his part in a disciplined
bowling effort with three wickets, including West Indies captain Nicholas
Pooran, while senior pacer Mustafizur Rahman set the tone for the match when he
dismissed prolific opener Shai Hope for a first ball "duck" after
Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal put the home side in to bat.
Shamarh Brooks topscored with 33 with the next best effort
being an unbeaten 19 from Anderson Phillip in an unbroken last-wicket
partnership of 39 with Jayden Seales (16 not out).
Shoriful went one better than Mustafizur in taking the
wickets of Brandon King and Brooks in his opening over before adding the Guyanese
pair of all-rounder Romario Shepherd and spinner Gudakesh Motie.
However, the coveted fifth wicket of the innings for him
proved elusive as Bangladesh's fielders dropped three catches to extend the
last-wicket resistance of Phillip and Seales.
