Bangladesh beat West Indies by 6 wickets

Providence Stadium, Guyana

Right then, despite the delay and the shortened game, we have witnessed quite a contest. Bangladesh finally break their duck on this tour and get a ‘W’ against their name to continue their dominance over West Indies in the ODI format. West Indies need to find a way to end their ODI losing streak against Bangladesh. The 2nd ODI will be played at the same venue on Wednesday, the 13th of July at 7.00 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT). But do join us in advance for the build-up. Till then, goodbye and take care!

Tamim Iqbal, the Bangladesh captain, says that the wicket was difficult for both teams but the best part for him was winning the toss, and he is very pleased with the bowling effort. On being asked about his wicket, he says that it's not a blame game, nobody does this intentionally but he is happy as in the end, they won the game. Mentions that they still have to apply themselves better. On Nasum Ahmed, he says that he was amazing, he did not disappoint here and he bowled really well.

Nicholas Pooran the skipper of West Indies says that the runs were not enough on the board, but it was not easy to score runs. Adds that the last wicket partnership gave them a chance, and put a defendable total on the board. Mentions that they should have played well in the Powerplay. On Gudakesh Motie he says that he bowled well, he is happy with his performance and he hopes he does well in the future as well.

Mehidy Hasan is the Player of the Match. He says that he is really happy with the performance. Adds that they have not had good enough time for practice due to rain but this win was very pleasing. Mentions that he is happy with the conditions as well, he tried to bowl in the right areas and that's why he was rewarded. Says that they have done well in this format, they did well against South Africa as well and they will want to carry this forward in the next game as well.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Bangladesh on the other hand have won this game mainly because of their bowlers who controlled proceedings throughout the first half of the game. The bowlers we right on the money in the first innings. They dismissed West Indies for a below-par score of 149. However, they will be hoping for more support from the fielders who dropped multiple catches to extend the West Indies innings. In reply, they had useful contributions from Tamim Iqbal and Najmul Hossain Shanto and in the end, Mahmudullah top-scored with an unbeaten 41 to take the Bengal Tigers home. In the end, it's been a complete performance from Bangladesh, this is just what they need to boost their confidence after suffering defeats in the shortest format.

The hosts will be thoroughly disappointed by their overall display. Gudakesh Motie is the only one who bowled with any sort of rhythm as the rest of the bowlers lacked control and conceded runs freely. They did manage to grab an early wicket but they failed to capitalize on that. Nicholas Pooran will however be unhappy with how they performed with the bat. A few more runs on the board and things could have been different. Still, a few positives to take from this game. Gudakesh Motie on his debut was impressive and that certainly is a big boost for them. Also, the partnership for the last wicket for West Indies was another plus.

Bangladesh have finally picked up a victory on this tour and as expected it is in the format that they have been having the best time in! In the end, it was a comprehensive win as they got there with 6 wickets in hand and just under 10 overs left in the bag. Take this for a stat - West Indies have not beaten Bangladesh in an ODI game since December 2018 and have now lost 9 matches in a row. Barren run.

OUT! LBW! West Indies have got the breakthrough! Just the start they were looking for! Akeal Hosein goes full and angles it in from outside off, Litton Das plays for the turn but the ball keeps its line and raps against the pads. West Indies players are convinced that this is plumb and after a long delay the umpire agrees with them. Litton Das goes for the review and UltraEdge shows there is no edge. Ball Tracking shows two reds and the third is the umpire's call as the ball is just clipping the leg stump. The on-field decision is upheld and Litton Das has to take a long walk back. He is furious as he has a few words to say to the umpire and then the West Indies players. Tamim Iqbal continues to argue with the umpire but there is nothing wrong with the decision here!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

West Indies on the other hand would be shocked at their batting display. Shamarh Brooks was the only top-order batter to cross 20 runs as the rest failed to establish themselves at the wicket. The highest partnership was for the last wicket between Jayden Seales and Anderson Phillip who put on an unbeaten 39-run partnership to push West Indies to a total that they can bowl at. That said this should be an easy total for Bangladesh to achieve and if West Indies have any chance of getting back in this game, they will need their bowlers to come out raring and pick some early wickets. Stay tuned for the second innings!

Tamim Iqbal will be thrilled with his boys who justified his decision to bowl first with a disciplined bowling performance. Mehidy Hasan bowled out 9 overs taking 3 crucial wickets and controlled the game for Bangladesh. However, the pick of the bowlers was Shoriful Islam who grabbed a four-fer and kept taking wickets in pairs to keep West Indies consistently on the back foot. If there is one thing the visitors will be disappointed about, it will be their catching. They dropped numerous catches and had they taken all their chances this game would have been much easier for them.

What a brilliant performance by Bangladesh with the only blip being that they could not wrap up the West Indies innings. On the back of disappointing losses in the Test series and the T20I series, credit must be given to them for putting up such a dominating performance in this first ODI.

26.5 0

What a lifeline for Nicholas Pooran! Nasum Ahmed delivers this on full and angling into the pads. Nicholas Pooran comes across the stumps, tries to work this fine but misses the line of the delivery and gets hit on the pad. The Bangladesh players go up in appeal as Nicholas Pooran takes off for a single. The umpire raises his finger slowly and just for good measure they get Nicholas Pooran run out who is stranded halfway down the pitch. Nicholas Pooran decides to review the decision. UltraEdge shows that there is no inside edge but Ball Tracking comes to Nicholas Pooran's rescue as it shows that the ball would be missing the leg stump. The umpire is made to reverse his decision and since the onfield decision was given before the run out happened, that event gets nullified as the ball will count dead after that! Nicholas Pooran will be thanking his stars!

26.4 4

FOUR! Some ordinary fielding from Bangladesh! Flights this one and delivers it full on the pads, Nicholas Pooran charges down the wicket and hits this towards deep square leg. Two fielders are converging on the ball and neither of them is able to stop it. Much needed boundary for West Indies.

DRINKS! Bangladesh are all over West Indies here! West Indies are not only losing wickets but are also not able to score runs freely. Bangladesh showing why they enjoy this format so much as they have executed all their plans to perfection. Romario Shepherd is the new man in and will want to justify his selection by digging his team out of trouble.

25.3 W 0

OUT! LBW! Mehidy Hasan strikes and he gets rid of Rovman Powell! Another huge wicket for Bangladesh. West Indies have now lost half their side. Hasan pulls his length slightly back this time, spinning in, around middle and leg. Rovman Powell rocks back and tries to flick this one on the leg side. But he misses and gets rapped on his front pad. A huge shout for LBW, and the umpire raises his finger. Rovman Powell opts for a review immediately. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking indicates three reds and Rovman Powell has to walk back.

Two wickets have fallen and there may have a third but the third umpire thought otherwise. West Indies have a lot of work to do and will be hoping that the partnership between Shamarh Brooks and Brandon King takes them to a better position. Bangladesh will continue with what they are doing and will look for some more wickets. Taskin Ahmed will begin proceedings after Drinks.

Shout for an LBW! The finger goes up but Brooks reviews. Coming to the delivery - Nasum Ahmed delivers this full and angles into the pads. The ball thuds against the pads and Bangladesh are roaring in appeal. The umpire raises his finger and Shamarh Brooks reviews. There seems to be a gap between the bat and the ball. UltraEdge shows a lot of spikes as the bat seems to hit the pad as well but the third umpire reckons there is a spike when the ball passes the bat. The onfield umpire has to overturn his decision and the Bangladesh players are not happy. They surround the umpire and are protesting the decision but the third umpire's decision stands and the game has to go on.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree is near the pitch. He says that conditions are quite satisfactory, the concerns are near the inner circle as there were a few damp patches, but with the sun out, that should not be a problem. Adds that the pitch is quite firm, it is quite hard as well, with some grass on one side but bare patches on the other side. Adds that the start is very important, whoever gets to a good start will carry that momentum.

Nicholas Pooran, the skipper of West Indies, when asked about their recent ODI form says that they need to stick to the process, build partnerships and win big moments. On his own batting performance, he says that he is not worried and will stick to his game and get through it. Says Gudakesh Motie will be making his debut and he is looking forward to seeing how he plays.

Tamim Iqbal the captain of Bangladesh says that they are going to bowl first, the pitch has been under cover for the past two days and they will try to restrict West Indies. Mentions that this a format they have done well, but nothing to take away from West Indies they have been terrific. Adds that his preparation has not been the best but he is hoping he can step up today. Informs that they are playing with 6 batters and 5 bowlers.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope, Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (C/WK), Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Anderson Phillip, Jayden Seales, Gudakesh Motie (On debut), Akeal Hosein.
