Ban v. WI 2nd Test - Day 1 Update - West Indies face the heat of Bangladeshi Spinners



Summary of day 1:

Bangladesh 35 for 1 (Tamim 14*, Enamul 5*) trail West Indies 237 (Dowlin 95, Richards 69, Mahmudullah 3-44) by 202 runs

West Indies faced the heat of Bangladesh’s spin attack, managing to score just 237 runs in the first innings on Day 1 of the second test at Grenada. Only Richards (69 runs) & Dowlin (95 missing out on a century) managed to get some decent scoring, rest all failed to the spin trio of Bangladesh.

Mahmudullah continuing with his spin magic in the second test, troubled the West Indies batsmen. Shakib Al Hasan leading the BAN side in the absence of Mashrafe Mortaza did a splendid job of using Mahmudullah in short burst and carrying on with long spells himself and Enamul Haque Jr. The spin trio of Mahmudullah, Shakib and Enamul took 9 of the West Indian batsmen to leave a huge dent in the Windies side.

Bangladesh faltered early with their batting losing out Imrul Kayes the opening batsman.
