Bangladesh heap pain on Windies

-

– Mushfiqur Rahim top-scored with an unbeaten 55 as Bangladesh defeated West Indies by five wickets in the first one-day internatio­nal in Dhaka yesterday.

Set a modest target after three wickets each from Mashrafe Mortaza and Mustafizur Rahman helped Bangladesh restrict West Indies to 195/9, the hosts sailed to 196/5 in 35.1 overs for a comprehens­ive win to kick off the three-match series. –
