The limited-over leg of Bangladesh’s tour of West Indies tour have kicked off with the first ODI between the two sides, in Guyana.

The Tigers were not able to pose any challenge to the Caribbean side in the longest format as West Indies completed a clean sweep in the Test series. However, this goes without saying that Bangladesh will try their best to bounce back in the 50-over format, where they have been a consistent team over the past few years.

Mustafizur Rahman has returned to the Bangladesh side after missing the T20I series against Afghanistan last month. Mosaddek Hossain has also earned a place in the playing eleven in an ODI for the first time since June 2017.

Andre Russell, on the other hand, has returned to the West Indian side three years after his last appearance in ODIs. Alzarri Joseph too has been included in the playing eleven.

Winning the toss, Bangladesh decided to bat first. They dealt an early blow as Anamul Haque got dismissed by Jason Holder before opening his account.

The Tigers posted 10 runs before rain interrupted the contest during the fifth over. Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan will resume the innings as soon as the rain stops.

 

Windies (Playing XI): Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Shai Hope(w), Jason Mohammed, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Andre Russell, Jason Holder(c), Devendra Bishoo, Ashley Nurse, Alzarri Joseph
