WI vs BAN

That will be all for tonight's coverage. Bangladesh have won their first match of the tour and taken a 1-0 lead in the ODI series. It's getting late in here so it's time for us to say goodbye. This is Raghav and Pragadeesh signing off. Stay tuned on Sportskeeda for more live-action!

Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh captain: I think the wicket was difficult. The toss was important and vital for our win. We did not over bowl the spinners which was also crucial for us since it was a pacer (Shoriful) that brought us back in the match. I am not going to think much about the run out, these things happen in cricket and it's not just a blame game. We just have to apply ourselves better, you never know, we might bat first next match. I am pleased with Nasum's performance, he was always doing well in the t20s and I had faith in him to do well here.

Nicholas Pooran, West Indies captain: In hindsight, 149 is not enough but it's difficult to get more on this deck batting first. The last wicket partnership did give us a chance and it showed that the guys have the fighting spirit in them. Congratulations to Bangladesh, they were the better team. The conditions did get better for batting gradually but it was still tricky. If we could have picked another wicket in the powerplay, our chances would have been better. Gudakesh Motie was impressive on his debut, he has a bright future ahead.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Player of the Match: I am really pleased with my performance. We couldn't practice enough in the last few days because of the rain. The wicket was tricky and slow so I just bowled at the right areas and it paid off for me. In this tour, we lost both the series but ODI is our strongest format and everyone knows their role here. We are pleased to do well in this format.

Bangladesh 147/4 in 31.4 overs beat West Indies by 6 wickets.
Mahmmudullah 41*(69) | Najmul Hossain Shanto 37(46)
Gudakesh Motie 1/18 (9) | Nicholas Pooran 1/39 (7)

What a win, what a win for Bangladesh. They have completely outplayed the West Indies and taken a 1-0 lead in this three match ODI series. After winning the toss and opting to field first, they restricted the hosts to a mere 149 runs and chased it down with ease. The West Indies were outplayed in all three departments of the game.

Chasing 150, Bangladesh were always going to be the favourites. However, West Indies started off well with the early wicket of Litton Das. Tamim and Shanto played some aggressive cricket from there and ensured that the pressure always remained on the hosts.

Once Tamim was run out, Shanto took the charge and after Shanto's dismissal, Mahmmudullah pushed Bangladesh towards the finish line. They were the main three contributors with the bat.

West Indies might feel that they could have done better with the ball. Akeal was poor after the powerplay while Pooran despite bowling some rippers, ruined his numbers with some no-balls and poor reviewing decisions. Gudakesh Motie bowled a marathon spell with some remarkable consistency. He was the best bowler for the Windies. The pacers had barely any opportunity here and given the conditions, Pooran was forced to attack with the spinners.

31.5 Jayden Seales to Mahmudullah, THAT'S IT. Mahmudullah seals a victory in style and Bangladesh finally taste success in this tour. Back of a length delivery angling middle and leg, Mahmudullah moves across and pulls it between long leg and deep square leg for a boundary

31.4 Jayden Seales to Mahmudullah, slow delivery outside off, Mahmudullah was early into the shot but somehow he manages to knock it down to covers

31.3 Jayden Seales to Nurul Hasan, short delivery bowled very slower, Nurul tries to pull but got deceived by the pace. He gets a toe end and the ball rolls down to the on-side

31.1 Jayden Seales to Mahmudullah, no run. back of a length delivery wide outside off, Mahmudullah shuffles across and nudges it to short mid-wicket

30.6 Anderson Phillip to Nurul Hasan, Nice placement from Nurul and he gets a couple of runs. Length delivery angling into the pads, Nurul turns this one behind square on the on-side for a brace
