- The West Indies are on track to secure a convincing victory in this first test.
In the first test match at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, Bangladesh faced a daunting challenge while chasing a target of 333 runs set by the West Indies. After a dismal performance, they closed the fourth day's play at 109 for 7, requiring 224 more runs with only 3 wickets remaining. Kemar Roach was instrumental for the West Indies, claiming three quick wickets early in the innings, leaving Bangladesh in a precarious position at 23 for 4. Jaker Ali's 15 not out provided a glimmer of hope, but as Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed 45, he was dismissed which ended the hope for a comeback while Bangladesh continued to struggle against the West Indies' disciplined bowling. On the other side, Taskin Ahmed showcased his talent by taking 6 wickets in the West Indies' first innings, but Bangladesh's batting frailty over two innings put them at a significant disadvantage. With 17 wickets falling on a record-setting day in Antigua, the West Indies stand poised to seal their first test victory over Bangladesh.
