Earlier, Shoriful Islam's best figures limited the West Indies to 149 for nine batting first in the rain-affected opening ODI at the Guyana National Stadium.

In a match reduced to 41 overs per side due to a delayed start caused by heavy overnight showers, Shoriful's haul of four for 34 with his left-arm seamers ensured the home side were never able to properly recover from early setbacks on a pitch which made free scoring difficult.

Spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz played his part in a disciplined bowling effort with three wickets, including West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran, while senior pacer Mustafizur Rahman set the tone for the match when he dismissed prolific opener Shai Hope for a first ball "duck" after Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal put the home side in to bat.

Shamarh Brooks topscored with 33 with the next best effort being an unbeaten 19 from Anderson Phillip in an unbroken last-wicket partnership of 39 with Jayden Seales (16 not out).
