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 🤪Shere Bangla Nationaജl Stadium in Dhaka on Wednesday.
Shakib 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 white leather, bagging 3/28 as the hosts bowled🅷 out a relatively weak visiting side for 122 in ♏32.2 overs.
Bowling all-rounder Kyle Mayers was the highest scorer for the visitors with 40 off 56 deliveries 💙including 4 fours and a six.
Apart from Mayers, senior cricketer Rovman Powell ♐made a valuable contribution of 28 from 31 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 off 69 balls to take h🌸is side over the finish line.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad were unbeaten on 19🅺 and 9 runs respectively to complete the win.
For the visitors, left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein was the ♕most successful bowler, claiming 3/26 in 10 ove✱rs.
