Tamim Iqbal and Naeem Islam scored half-centuries while Sohag Gazi took four wickets as Bangladesh beat the West Indies by seven wickets in the first ODI in Khulna. Iqbal shattered a 51-ball 58 studded with eight fours and two sixes while Islam completed with an unbeaten 50 as the hosts get a modest 200-run target with 9.2 overs to spare, for a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Gazi took 4-29, the best figures by a Bangladesh bowler on one-day debut, to restrict the West Indies to 199 after they won the toss and opted to bat. Iqbal and Anamul Haque put on a solid 88-run opening stand to make sure the hosts, who were absent key all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan through injury, did not ruin the good work by their bowlers.
