Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) XI wrapped West Indies to 257 on the first day of the three-day warm-up game at Chattogram. On this Day, leg spinner Rishad Hossain took five wicket haul as he bowled tremendously well by spending 75 runs from his 23.1 overs. After such bowling, Windies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite was in praise for the leg spinner.
At the end of the first day, he said, 'Their leg spinner has done quite well. He was consistent. There weren’t too many turns and bounces but he was pretty consistent with his line-length. He bowled well.”
Although other batsmen could not match with the bowling attack of Rishad and Khaled Ahmed, Brathwaite ruled the pitch on this day. He played an innings of 85 runs with 10 boundaries.
Brathwaite said that he has succeeded by judging the bowlers. The Carribean played defensive cricket as the pitch was a bit slow and he also praised their defensive batting.
"I wouldn't say it was difficult. The guys bowled well. Obviously, the wicket was slow and low, to be honest. You really had to watch the ball for long." Brathwaite added.
Bangladesh bowlers have been bowling well since the beginning of the match. Rishad and Khaled bagged 8 wickets in total. On the other hand Dipu and Saif took one wicket each .
