Playing his first international fixture after a one-year suspension, veteran Bangladesh cricketer Shakib Al Hasan shined with the ball in the first One-Day International (ODI) against West Indies at She⛦re Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Wဣednesday.
ꦕShakib picked up four wickets for eight runs in his international comeback to guide Bangladesh to a comprehensive 6-wicket victory over West Indies.
Debutant pacer Hasan Mahmud also impressed with the w🉐hite leather, bagging 3/28 as the hosts bowled out a relatively weak visiting side for 122 in 3𓄧2.2 overs.
Bowling all-rounder Kyle Mayers was the highest scorer for the visitors with 40 off 56 deliveries including 4 fours𓂃 and a six.
Apart from Mayers, senior cricketer Rovman Powell made a valuable contribution of 28 from 3𓄧1 balls.
Chasing a paltry target of 123 was not going to be difficult for the home team and precisely what happened. Skipper Tamim Iqbal top-scored with 44 of𝕴f 69 balls to take his side over the finish line.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad were unbeaten on 19 a𒐪nd 9 runs respectively to complete the win.
For the visitors, left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein waꦅs theꦇ most successful bowler, claiming 3/26 in 10 overs.
