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 National Stadiumಌ in Dhaka on Wednesday.
Shakib picked up four wickets for eight runs in his international comeback to guide Bangladesh to a compreꦬhensive 6-wicket victory over West Indies.
Debutant pacer Hasan Mahmud al🐽so 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 his sideౠ over the finish line.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad were unbeaten on 19 and 9 runs re🌄spectively to complete the win.
For the visitors, left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein was the most succe♛ssful bowler, claiming 3/26 in 10 overs.
