Rishad Hossain’s impressive spin bowling crippled the West Indies chase. It propelled Bangladesh to a 74-run victory in the opening One-Day International to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.

The leg spinner grabbed a maiden five-wicket haul, as the West Indies were all out for 133 in 39 overs in pursuit of the home side’s total of 207 in 49.4 overs.

The West Indies seemed on track to register a comfortable victory following a promising start by openers Brandon King and Alick Athanaze. The pair started cautiously but soon raced to 28 without loss after four overs.

Athanaze brought up the 50 for the West Indies in the 12th over, but Player-of-the-Match Hossain did not take long to strike as he trapped Athanaze lbw for 27.

King and Keacy Carty then shared a 28-run partnership that left the Windies at 79 for one in the 20th over.

Carty edged Hossain to slip as he tried to take a big shot, and King was bamboozled by a delivery from Hossain that spun across his body and grazed the outside edge on its way through to the wicketkeeper to be out for 44, as the Windies slipped to 82 for three.

Three deliveries later and without a run added, Hossain had Sherfane Rutherford caught behind for a duck.

Hossain then captured his first five-wicket haul in international cricket when he had Roston Chase caught behind for six to leave the visitors staggering on 92 for five.

Skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz then took the wicket of Gudakesh Motie lbw, and when captain Shai Hope edged Islam to be out for 15 to make the score 118 for seven in the 34th over, the results seemed inevitable.

Mustafizur Rahman then picked up the wickets of Romario Shepherd and Justin Greaves in quick succession, before Hossain ended the match by having last man Jayden Seales caught at slip.

Hossain ended with career best figures of 6-35 from his nine overs, while Rahman took 2-16.

Captain Shai Hope sent Bangladesh in to bat first after winning the toss.

Romario Shepherd trapped Saif Hassan lbw, and Jayden Seales caught Soumya Sarkar, leaving the home side in trouble at eight for two.

However, Towhid Hridoy, who scored 51, and Najmul Hossain Shanto, who scored 32, came to their side’s rescue in a 71-run partnership for the third wicket.

Mahidul Islam Ankon struck 46, while Hossain scored 26 runs from 13 balls, which helped Bangladesh pass the 200-mark.

Seales was the West Indies’ best bowler with 3-48, while Chase (2-30) and Greaves (2-32) provided good support.
