Can the West Indies overhaul this target with ease? Especially with the calibre of hard-hitting batsmen they have at their disposal? Tune in shortly for that answer and more as West Indies look to chase down 218 to start the series on the right foot.

Anamul Haque was the key cog in Bangladesh's innings, bringing up his third ODI century in the process, and he was supported ably with knocks from Tamim Iqbal and Nasir Hossain.

So with that Bangladesh reach a reasonable total of 217 for 9, and a lot of that can be attributed to the disciplined nature of West Indies bowling

DJ Bravo to Anamul Haque, OUT, Bravo manages to secure a fortuitous wicket as Anamul stretches out on the off side, looking to flick this one off middle stump behind square, but instead succeeds in getting himself out leg before in the process

Anamul Haque lbw b DJ Bravo 109 (218m 138b 11x4 1x6) SR: 78.98

0
DJ Bravo to Anamul Haque, no run, Anamul looking for the switch hit to try and negate the angle of Bravo's slower deliveries, but fails to get any bat on it

The new batsman is Taskin Ahmed

49.4
W
DJ Bravo to Mashrafe Mortaza, OUT, this time Mortaza is able to connect with one of Bravo's well-crafted slower balls, but this one was hit higher than farther, with Pollard, who is at deep midwicket, timing his run to complete the catch safely

Abir Utsha: "Well played Anamul but 73 dot balls are too many to my liking."

49.3
0
DJ Bravo to Mashrafe Mortaza, no run, and Mortaza is once again too early on a slower ball angling down the leg side. Anamul will be desperate to get to the other end
49.2
2
DJ Bravo to Mashrafe Mortaza, 2 runs, slower ball on the leg-stump, Mortaza delays his pull and instead powers it to deep backward square leg. Jason Holder runs across and hauls the ball back in play before it reaches the ropes
49.1
0
DJ Bravo to Mashrafe Mortaza, no run, and, predictably, Bravo begins with a slower ball outside off which Mashrafe is too early on as he looks for the midwicket swat

It will be Dwayne Bravo to finish off the innings for the West Indies

SD: "You would have thought that a batsman as set as Anamul should have gone for the final flourish long before now. Instead, devoid of partners, and overs, courtesy Bangladesh's cautious start, he has had to save himself just to make sure Bangladesh at least get to play their stipulated 50. Oh Bangladesh, when will you learn? It's been more than 15 years, by the way...."
