Player of The Match: Justin Greaves (West Indies)
West Indies defeated Bangladesh by 201 runs on Tuesday (Nov 26) to win the first Test, wrapping up a quick victory when tailender Shoriful Islam was forced to retire hurt.
Chasing an unlikely 334 to win, and resuming on its overnight score of 109-7, the Tigers lost Jaker Ali and Hasan Mahmud to fast bowler Alzarri Joseph early in the first session of the final day at North Sound.
With Bangladesh on 132-9, last-man Shoriful retired injured having been hit on the back of his shoulder ducking into a bouncer by Joseph in the fifth over of the day.
Joseph had already removed Mahmud in the third over of the morning with the batsman caught behind for nought.
Jaker’s innings came to an end on 31 when he was lbw to Joseph.
Jaker, who made a half-century in the first innings, was just one of four Bangladesh batsmen to reach double figures in the second innings with skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz top-scoring with 45.
Opening bowlers Kemar Roach (3-20) and Jayden Seales (3-45) did the bulk of the damage for the home side.
The second Test of the series gets underway in Jamaica on Saturday (Nov 30).
