Taijul bowls Bangladesh to victory

Taijul

Islam claimed 6-33 as Bangladesh defeated West Indies by 64 runs yesterday in the first match of their two-Test series.

Chasing a target of 204 runs, West Indies stuttered from the start and were all out for 139 on the stroke of tea on the third day, suffering their first defeat in Bangladesh in seven Tests.

Sunil Ambris (43) was the last man dismissed after topscoring for visitors. He had put on a 63-run partnership with Jomel Warrican for the ninth wicket to lift West Indies from 75 for eight to revive an unlikely hope. (AFP)
