West Indies thumped Bangladesh in the first of the two-match Test series at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua - here's the updated WTC points table following the first WI vs BAN Test.
Batting first, West Indies put up a massive score, declaring their innings for 450-9. All-rounder Justin Greaves top-scored with an unbeaten 115 off 206 balls, while Mikyle Louis and Alick Athanaze made nineties. The tail wagged as No.9 Kemar Roach frustrated the opposition with a 144-ball 47.
In response, Bangladesh declared their first innings at 269-9, 181-run short of West Indies’ total. The tactical move paid off to some extent as the hosts were bowled out for 152 in their second innings, with Taskin Ahmed picking up 6-64. However, the sizeable lead meant Bangladesh still had to chase 334 in the fourth innings.
The visitors were skittled out for 132, succumbing to a 201-run defeat. Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales took three wickets each, while Alzarri Joseph grabbed two and Shamar Joseph one. Bangladesh No.11 Shoriful Islam retired hurt for one.
