Commentary :
0.0 : Hello and welcome to the first ODI between Bangladesh and Windies in Mirpur. The hosts will go as the favourites in this encounter because they have their bases covered. Tamim Iqbal's return will boost them more. On the other hand, Windies would like to improve themselves in the ODI series. Carlos Brathwaite and Darren Bravo's return will boost them but they will again be without their regular captain Jason Holder. Rovman Powell will be leading the side. This is the favourite format of Shimron H
WEATHER - It is bright and sunny in Mirpur, with no forecast of rain.
Bangladesh batting coach Neil McKenzie is pleased with the way the home side has developed so far. Admires the way the lower order is also contributing with the bat. Informs that in the last 5 matches, Bangladesh have had 7 different centurions in the white-ball matches, which is a good competition for spaces. Is very happy to welcome Tamim Iqbal back in the side but is happier that even in his absence, the others stepped up. On Zimbabwe's bowling comparison with the Windies', McKenzie says that
PITCH REPORT - Tino Mawoyo doing the pitch report observes that it looks like a good batting surface. There is a bit of grass but it is well rolled over.
TOSS - Time for the spin of the coin. Mashrafe Mortaza spins the coin, Rovman Powell calls Heads and it is a Head. WINDIES CHOOSE TO BAT.
Windies captain, Rovman Powell, says that the decision is based on the fact that the pitch looks a good one to bat on. On his captaincy debut, Rovman smiles and says that it is a great experience and wants to win this series. On spin being their weakness, Powell says that in the last few days, they have practiced a lot against spinners in the nets and hopes that it comes good in this game. On some players coming back into the side - like Carlos Brathwaite and Darren Bravo, Rovman is excited to s
Bangladesh captain, Mashrafe Mortaza, says that Bangladesh have been going alright this year, especially in this format. Wants to finish this year well now. Adds that this is a very important game, the first one and wants to set the tone straight. On picking three seamers in the playing XI, Mashrafe says that in England, three seamers would be required, so the hosts are planning from now itself. On losing the toss, Mortaza says that chasing has been the forte. Then cheekily says that he is not s

5.1 : Al Hasan to S Hope, IN THE AIR, SAFE! Strange shot from Hope. There is a long off in place, still he looks to go over the top. Comes out of his crease, is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and skews his shot. Luckily for him, the ball lands in between cover running back and long off running in. Two runs taken.

7.5 : Al Hasan to K Powell, Landed outside off, dabbed straight to short third man.
7.6 : Al Hasan to K Powell, OUT! There goes the first wicket! Powell is out of here. Flighted outside off, Kieran comes down the track and has a wild swing. Is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and miscues it badly. The ball goes up in the air and Rubel Hossain runs back to take it at point. The openers nearly saw off the two new balls but have perished just before the Mandatory Powerplay ends.
Darren Bravo comes back after a long hiatus. In at number 3, replacing Kieran Powell.

9.5 : M Rahman to D Bravo, Outside off, pushed towards cover for a quick single.

13.6 : M Rahman to D Bravo, Now the left-hander follows suit.
Here comes the captain at last. MASHRAFE MORTAZA - PLAYING HIS 200TH ODI. 198th in Bangladesh colours.

DRINKS BREAK. Action happening so rapidly. When was the last time one saw 19 overs being bowled before the first Drinks break in an ODI? Bangladesh surprised everyone by opening the bowling with two spinners and even though they managed to pick just a solitary wicket, the runs have been curtailed. Windies though, will back themselves to do some power-hitting in the later overs but they need to plan it out. In the next 20-odd overs, they at least need to get 4 runs an over and then get 100 in the

20.4 : M Mortaza to D Bravo, OUT! STUNNER BY TAMIM! He's back from an injury layoff and this catch shows that he's fully fit. Mortaza serves an off pace delivery and lands it on a length outside off. Bravo's eyes lit up after watching the width and he goes hard at it. But it takes the top edge and flies towards wide long off.

Mehidy Hasan is back on.
28.1 : M Hasan to S Hetmyer, OUT! BOWLED! Hetmyer is out of here. Horrible ball to face, if you are a batsman. Nothing much he could have done about that. Mehidy does the basics right by keeping it in line of the stumps. Now, the length is short and hence Shimron goes back to play it through the off side. But to his horror, the ball stays low and skids beneath his bat. Crashes into the leg stump. Certainly not the easiest of pitches to bat on but the Windies need at least a 100 more.

35.2 : Al Hasan to M Samuels, A bit wider outside off, driven towards long off for a single.

36.1 : M Mortaza to R Powell, OUT! Captain gets captain! Mash strikes immediately on return. A length ball outside off, Powell looks to go over the top but cannot hit it cleanly. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat and lobs to mid off where Liton Das takes the easiest of catches.
0.0 : Roston Chase comes on to bat now.
36.2 : M Mortaza to R Chase, Defended off the back foot by the batsman.

39.1 : R Hossain to R Chase, Outside off, punched off the back foot for a single.
39.2 : R Hossain to M Samuels, OUT! In the air and taken! Windies' last hope, probably, departs. Samuels is gone. A length ball, around middle, Marlon backs away a touch and looks to go over the top. But the ball bounces a touch low and goes off the bottom of the bat. Still, the connection is decent. Liton Das is stationed at long on and for a moment, it seems like it will elude him. But he leaps at the right time to take the catch. The ball wobbles a bit in his hands but he does not let it or hi
Keemo Paul walks in at number 8, replacing Samuels.

Mustafizur Rahman is back.
41.1 : M Rahman to R Chase, Around off, angling away, watchfully pushed away.
41.2 : M Rahman to R Chase, LEADING EDGE, SAFE! Nearly a wicket for the Fizz. The off cutter, pitched around middle, goes away, Chase looks to flick but is done in by the lack of pace. The ball takes the leading edge and flies over cover. A single taken.
41.3 : M Rahman to K Paul, A soft appeal for a caught behind. Nothing in it. On a length outside off, moving away, Paul looks to dab it to third man but the ball bounces more and beats the outside edge.

41.5 : M Rahman to K Paul, The batsman flicks it away with a wristy shot. One run added to the total.

43.1 : M Mortaza to K Paul, Around off, patted to the off side for a quick single.
43.2 : M Mortaza to R Chase, A soft inquiry for LBW. Turned down. On a length, around off, coming in, Chase misses his flick and is hit on the pads. Sliding down the leg side.
43.3 : M Mortaza to R Chase, STOP THE PRESS. Finally something other than a single, a wicket or a dot ball has been recorded. Remember this ball - 31.1 - it was the last time that Windies took a couple. Since then, they have managed just 38 singles in 66 balls. On middle, Chase pushes it wide of long on and comes back for the second.
43.4 : M Mortaza to R Chase, Another couple. Wow. Don't start the press for a while. A length ball, around middle, RC works it wide of long on and gets another brace.
43.5 : M Mortaza to R Chase, The batsman has defended it by getting right behind the line of the delivery.
43.6 : M Mortaza to R Chase, SIX! Ho ho ho! Shut the press down totally now! The Windies are trying to do something different now. They have been stalled so far and they are trying to break free. A boundary after 56 balls. A length ball on middle, Chase swings it high and handsome over mid-wicket!

47.1 : M Rahman to K Paul, Outside off, pushed through point for a single.
47.2 : M Rahman to R Chase, OUT! Caught! London looking, Tokyo turning, Dhaka beckoning. A short ball, around off, Chase swivels and looks to pull. But the ball comes ever so slightly and goes off the top edge. It goes straight up in the air and Mehidy Hasan at backward point takes it nicely. Decent innings from Chase under the circumstances.
Kemar Roach walks in at number 9, replacing Chase. Still, 16 balls left. Can the Windies get to 200?
47.3 : M Rahman to K Paul, Another short ball, this is pulled with total ease to deep mid-wicket for a run.
47.4 : M Rahman to K Roach, Outside off, a play and a miss.

47.6 : M Rahman to K Roach, Outside off, pushed to the off side.
48.1 : R Hossain to K Paul, SIX! HUMONGOUS! Rubel is being taken to the cleaners at the death here. A length ball, that too at this stage, asking for trouble, begging to be hit and it is hit. Swatted miles over mid-wicket. Paul moves to 23 from 25 balls.
0.0 : Mini-conference going on. Everyone is in Rubel's ear. Tamim, Shakib, Mortaza...
48.2 : R Hossain to K Paul, Backs away to the leg side, Hossain follows him, bowls a slower one and Keemo can only push it wide of mid off for a single.
48.3 : R Hossain to K Roach, THAT IS A GRUBBER. Fired outside leg, seeing the batsman back away, Roach swings at that full ball but misses. That barely bounced.
48.4 : R Hossain to K Roach, Full on middle, swung over mid-wicket for a couple.
48.5 : R Hossain to K Roach, Around leg stump,whipped uppishly towards deep square leg. Does not carry to Shakib in the deep. A single taken.
48.6 : R Hossain to K Paul, FOUR! What a shot! Rubel has seen two sides of the coin in this game. His first 8 overs had figures of 1/32. His last 2 have gone for 29. A length ball on middle, Paul gets down on a knee and whips it over mid-wicket, one bounce and into the ropes!
49.1 : M Rahman to K Roach, A length ball around off, Roach looks to slash but gets a top edge towards cover. Mortaza runs back but cannot quite get there. A single taken.
49.2 : M Rahman to K Paul, OUT! Fantastic catch from Mehidy! A slower bouncer, around off, Paul swings hard but only manages a top edge. The ball swirls in the air and Mehidy circles under it at point. For a second, it seems like he will miss it. But in the end, he keeps his eyes on the ball and catches it efficiently!
Devendra Bishoo walks in at number 10, replacing Paul.
49.3 : M Rahman to K Roach, Outside off, Roach pushes through the line and gets a thick inside edge through fine leg. A single taken.
49.4 : M Rahman to D Bishoo, OUT! Caught and bowled! Number 9 is down. The off cutter from the Fizz, Bishoo backs away and looks to cut but the ball barely reaches him and the batsman realizes late. Tries to bail out of the shot, aiming to defend but it is too late. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat, back to the bowler who gets across to his right and takes a good catch.
Two balls left. One wicket in hand. Oshane Thomas is the last batsman.
49.5 : M Rahman to O Thomas, A length ball outside off, Thomas swings hard but misses.
49.6 : M Rahman to O Thomas, Another dot to finish. It is another cutter, outside off, Oshane backs away, looking to pull but misses again. WINDIES FINISH ON 195/9!
The Windies will be disappointed to say the least - 195 is not what one expects after electing to bat. But the fact that they were 127/6 with not many batsmen left to come will make them feel a bit better. Overall, they were consumed by the two-paced deck.
The openers took their time, biding out the spinners with Shai Hope keeping the innings steady. However, the collapse started at the fall of Bravo's wicket. The second wicket fell at 64 and the Windies then slipped down to 127/6, before a breezy 51-run stand between Roston Chase and Keemo Paul took them close to 200.
Poor batting effort from the Windies, yes, but one cannot fault them totally. They tried everything. First, they looked to settle in and then play their shots. Could not get much runs. Then, they tried Hetmyer's approach - slogging wildly and get quick runs, did not muster anything. It was during the Chase-Paul stand that the batters actually got used to the pitch but by then it was too late.
Superb bowling from Bangladesh. They concentrated on just bowling consistent lines and lengths and did not over-attack. They were not at their best on the field, dropping 4 catches, yet, it never seemed like they got frustrated. Mehidy and Shakib, who opened the attack, were economical while Mustafizur and Mortaza picked up 6/65 amongst themselves in 20 overs combined. Rubel also would have had a great outing but he lost the plot at the death. His first 8 overs went for 32 but his final 2 yielde
On the whole, 196 should not be too difficult for Bangladesh. But if Windies bowl well and take a few quick wickets, it will be interesting to see the response. Join us back at 5.15 pm local (1115 GMT).
