Bangladesh win 1st Test against West Indies – BAN defeat WI in a thrilling end

Bangladesh dream comes true, of winning another Test match after their win some years ago. Bangladesh should be thankful to West Indies seniors who had earlier boycotted the series due to issues with renewing contract with the WI board. The WI board adamantly sent in the second string team to play against Bangladesh.

The fresh West Indies team didn’t have any answer to the Bangladeshi spin attack and they crumbled under pressure to give Bangladesh an emphatic win.

Brief synopsis of the match:
Bangladesh 238 (Mortaza 39, Roach 3-46) and 345 (Tamim 128, Sammy 5-70) beat
West Indies 307 (Phillips 94, Bernard 53, Mahmudullah 3-59) and 181 (Bernard 52, Mahmudullah 5-51, Shakib 3-39) by 95 runs

Mahmudullah excelled with figures of 5-51 but Shakib Al Hasan was brilliant who troubled the West Indies batsmen the most with all sorts of variations.

Wild celebration was seen on the ground with the limping Bangladeshi captain Mashrafe Mortaza rushing to the ground to congratulate his team mates. Mashrafe would be happy to win his first game as a captain.
