Dhaka:\u00a0Shakib Al Hasan claimed four wickets for eight runs in his international comeback to set up an easy six-wicket victory for Bangladesh over West Indies in the first one-day international in Dhaka on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Debutant pacer Hasan Mahmud also impressed with the ball, picking up 3-28 as the hosts bowled out the weakened tourists for 122 before racing to 125-4 in 33.5 overs.<\/p>\n

Skipper Tamim Iqbal top-scored with 44 off 69 while all-rounder Shakib played his part with the bat, hitting 19.<\/p>\n

Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein took 3-26 to give the home batsmen some trouble but his effort was not enough to defend the visitors’ meagre total.<\/p>\n

Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad were unbeaten on 19 and nine runs respectively to complete the win, helping Bangladesh take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.<\/p>\n

Opting to bowl first, Bangladesh earlier wrapped up the West Indies innings in 32.2 overs.<\/p>\n

“No complaints, we bowled extremely well. Not just the spinners, but the pacers as well,” said Tamim at the prize-giving ceremony.<\/p>\n

West Indies captain Jason Mohammed said he was disappointed with his side’s performance.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t easy to start on, but we didn’t have enough guys getting partnerships and those who got starts didn’t carry on,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mustafizur Rahman, who claimed 2-20, seized the early momentum for Bangladesh, trapping Sunil Ambris in front for seven in the second over.<\/p>\n

He removed Joshua Da Silva for nine after a rain break that halted play for nearly an hour.<\/p>\n

Playing his first international after a one-year suspension, Shakib’s left-arm spin immediately put pressure on the West Indies.<\/p>\n

He bowled Andre McCarthy for 12 before West Indies’ stand-in captain Jason Mohammed was stumped off his bowling for 17.<\/p>\n

Nkrumah Bonner went for a duck leg before wicket in Shakib’s next over to leave the West Indies struggling at 56-5.<\/p>\n

Kyle Mayers hit 40 off 56 balls and added 59 runs with Rovman Powell (28) for the seventh wicket to bring some respectability to the visitors’ score.<\/p>\n

Hasan’s pace removed Powell and Raymon Reifer with successive deliveries to end the resistance.<\/p>\n

Off-spinner Mehidy Hasan dismissed Mayers as the West Indies lost their last five wickets for seven runs. Shakib claimed the final wicket of Alzarri Joseph (four).<\/p>\n

The second match of the series will be held at the same venue on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
