Tigers beat Windies by 64 runs in first Test

Bangladesh have beaten West Indies by 64 runs thanks to a superb bowling performance.

Taijul Islam was the star of the show once again, taking six wickets for 33 runs.

Shakib Al Hasan, who took three wickets, became the first Bangladeshi bowler to take 200 wickets in Test cricket. He also became the fastest to reach the dual milestone of 200 wickets and 3,000 runs.

Sunil Ambris (43) and Jomel Warrican (41) put up a 63-run stand for the ninth wicket, but failed to rescue the flailing West Indies after their top order collapsed, reports bdnews24.

Spin had also troubled the Bangladeshi batsmen on Saturday morning, but a partnership between Mehidy Hasan Miraz (18) and Mahmudullah (31) helped the Tigers set a target of 204 for the West Indies.

Leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo was the best of the West Indies bowlers, taking 4 wickets for 26 runs to clear out the tail end of the Bangladesh order. Off-spinner Roston Chase took three wickets, while Jomel Warrican picked up a couple more.

Mominul Haque was declared Player of the Match for his 120-run knock in the first innings.
