Bangladesh lost the first Test against the West Indies by 201 runs. On the fourth day of the Antigua Test, Bangladesh’s fate was already decided. Fans were left wondering if Zakir Ali, the final specialist hitter, could accomplish anything remarkable or how much the Tigers could narrow the loss deficit.
Bangladesh lost the first Test….No, nothing like that took place. As it was written for Bangladesh, the script developed. The visitors only lasted seven more overs on the sixth day. At 132 runs for nine wickets, their second innings came to an end. A strike to Shariful Islam’s shoulder forced him to leave the field with injuries. Bangladesh suffered a crushing 201-run loss to the West Indies as a result.
The Tigers began the fifth day of play with 109 runs for 7 wickets while chasing 334 runs. Hasan Mahmud edged a delivery from Alzarri Joseph in the day’s second over (0 from 12 balls), and the wicketkeeper caught it.
Following that, Zakir Ali was able to score a few runs for a while before Alzarri Joseph finally got rid of him LBW. Zakir scored 31 runs while facing 58 balls and hitting 5 boundaries.
The West Indies declared at 450 runs for 9 wickets in their opening innings. Before declaring their first innings, Bangladesh surprised everyone by scoring 269 runs for 9 wickets. The goal was to cause problems for the Caribbean team early in the fourth day. Bangladesh lost the first Test…
Bangladesh mostly succeeded in achieving that target because to Taskin Ahmed’s outstanding spell. In their second innings, the Tigers were able to bowl out the West Indies for a mere 152 runs. Taskin scored 64 runs with 6 wickets.
However, the Bangladeshi squad struggled with the bat and was unable to attain the target of 334 runs. Not even the top five hitters were able to reach the 30-run mark. With 45 runs, Miraz was Bangladesh’s top run scorer in the second innings.
