In the first Test match against West Indies, Bangladesh batsmen showed complete dominance on the first day with a brilliant performance. The Bangladesh team won the toss and went into bat in this match which started at the Dhaka venue, and faced heavy losses and at the end of the day scored two hundred and thirteen runs for the loss of three wickets in the first innings. With opener Shadman Islam unbeaten on ninety-nine and just one run away from a century, the umpires declared play on the first day due to fading light. At the start of the match, Bangladesh were in trouble as the West Indies bowlers exploded. Opener Tanjid Hasan scored just seven runs off the bowling of Jayden Seals and was caught by the wicketkeeper to reach the pavilion.
Mominul Haq, who came to the crease after that, scored 28 runs and was dismissed by Jomel Warrican, while captain Nazmul Hossain Santo was out LBW for 19 runs. Due to this, Shadman Islam tried to improve the team with the help of other batsmen who lost two key wickets for ninety six runs. Tauhid Hriday, who accompanied Shadman during dangerously changing partnerships, was very aggressive and kept the team's scoreboard going. But in the course of scoring a personal score of forty-two runs, Hriday had to leave the field due to a serious injury to his left leg. He was immediately taken out on a stretcher, leaving it in doubt whether he would return to the ring in the second day's play. However, Litton Das, who scored ten runs along with Shadman, stood at the crease and ended the first day's play.
The West Indies team, which is touring Bangladesh for the two-match Test series, is working hard to create a sensation in the first Test. Although the Bangladeshi batsmen had the upper hand in the first day's play today, it will be interesting to see how the Caribbean bowlers fare in the opening session of the second morning. While the Bangladeshi camp is jubilant at the end of the first day's play in Dhaka, the second Test will begin from the fifth of next month in Sylhet.
