Shanto takes full responsibility for Bangladesh’s defeat

23 Apr 25

Spinner Mehidy Hasan and Bangladesh exploited "ideal conditions" to defeat the West Indies by six wickets in Sunday's rain-affected first One-Day International.

Shoriful Islam's haul of four for 34, his best in ODIs, limited the West Indies to 149 for nine batting first in a fixture reduced to 41 overs-per-side before Mahmudullah's unbeaten 41 saw the visitors to the target with more than nine overs to spare.

After 2-0 losses in both the preceding Test and T20 International series, Bangladesh's ninth consecutive ODI win over the West Indies puts the pressure on the home side going into the second match at the same venue on Wednesday.

Mehidy played his part in a disciplined bowling effort with three wickets.

Senior pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman set the tone for the match when he dismissed dangerous opener Shai Hope for a first ball duck after Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal put the home side in to bat.

Mehidy's victims included West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran and earned him the man of the match award.

"This is a really good result for us because rain prevented us from practising properly for the last few days," said the spinner.
