West Indies 122 all out (Mayers 40, Shakib 4-8, Hasan 3-28) vs Bangladesh
The inexperienced West Indies batting line-up - that included six debutants - was pinned into submission by the Bangladesh bowlers, skittled out for 122 in 32.2 overs after being asked to bat first by Tamim Iqbal in the first ODI in Mirpur. It was West Indies' second-lowest ODI score against Bangladesh.
Apart from debutant Kyle Mayers (40) and Rovman Powell (28), the rest of the batsmen appeared out of depth under overcast conditions. Shakib Al Hasan, playing his first game since the end of his ban for not reporting a corrupt approach took 4 for 8, the best figures by a Bangladesh bowler against West Indies, while Mustafizur Rahman (2 for 20), debutant Hasan Mahmud (3 for 28) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (1 for 29) shared the other six wickets.
The early breakthroughs came from Mustafizur. He struck in the second over of the match when Sunil Ambris missed a flick to a full delivery and was adjudged lbw. A short rain-break later, Mustafizur removed Joshua da Silva for 9 when an attempted drive flew off the edge and had a flying Liton Das take a catch at gully.
Andre McCarthy then looked to rebuild in the company of captain Jason Mohammed (17), but he was out after a 34-ball stay of 12 when Shakib knocked his off stump back. McCarthy swept down the wrong line, earning Shakib his 150th ODI wicket at home. The left-arm spinner then got a full ball to turn past Mohammed as Mushfiqur Rahim had him stumped before he could slide his back leg into the crease. Shakib then got his third when Nkrumah Bonner was out for a four-ball duck trying to defend but was trapped in front of the stumps for an lbw dismissal.
At that stage, West Indies were 56 for 5, and while Mayers and Powell were in the middle, it looked like they were setting the visitors towards some semblance of recovery. After seeing off the first spell from Shakib and Mehidy, they pounced on pacers Rubel Hossain and Mustafizur when they returned for their second spell. The short balls were pulled or cut while the overpitched ones were drilled through cover, but the 59-run stand was ended by debutant Mahmud in the 30th over.
The 21-year-old Mahmud was bowled with pace without any reward in his first spell, but in his second, he got a length ball to zip off the surface, forcing Powell to edge it to the keeper and break the partnership. The next ball, Mahmud came around the wicket and hit the back leg of left-hander Raymon Reifer to get his second wicket, this time lbw. He was lucky, however, with ball-tracker showing that the delivery would have gone over the stumps. Reifer, though, could not ask for the TV umpire to look at it since West Indies had already burned both their reviews.
That left Mayers as the lone batsmen with the lower order to follow and over 20 overs to play. But he was dismissed by Miraz bowling around the wicket and getting the ball to turn away. Mayers' attempt at a drive took the outside edge, only to find Das lurking at first slip. At that point, West Indies were 121 for 8, and Das was in the action once again when Akeal Hosein edged Mahmud to the cordon. Shakib then brought the curtains down in the 33rd over when an arm ball from him went through the bat-pad gap of Alzarri Joseph.
"Obviously playing after 16-17 months is not easy. But [I'm] happy the way I performed," Shakib said at the break. "The thing is we haven't played for ten months, so everybody is anxious and keen to play matches. Since it was the first match, everyone was nervous yet excited to get on the field.
"As a bowler, wanted to keep it simple and let the ball and the wicket do the work. There are quite a few young fast bowlers coming through the systems. I was playing the domestic T20 tournament where a lot of quicks were bowling with their heart out. I knew what Hasan [Mahmud] is capable of since we played in the same team. He expressed himself."
