00:58or 40 balls. Romario Sheppard was the pick of the bowlers with three for 51
01:02as Bangladesh closed on 294 for six from 50 overs. In reply West Indies openers
01:09Brandon King and Evan Lewis both fell with a team score on 27. After a 67 run
01:15partnership between captain Shea Hope and Casey Carty the latter was out for 21.
01:21Then Hope and Sheerfain Rutherford had to come to the team's rescue.

01:34wicket. After Hope was out for 86 a lot depended on the left-handed
01:40Rutherford. Justin Graves gave him good support with the West Indies managing to
01:47take control. Then came the magical moment for Rutherford. After setting off
01:53for two poor fielding allowed four overthrows and that was his maiden ODI
01:58century. Rutherford was batting brilliantly and took the game away from
02:09the Tigers. Upon getting to 113 the southpaw from Guyana was dismissed by
02:17Soumya Sarkar but the hosts were nearly home. Graves hit the winning run to be
02:22unbeaten on 41. West Indies got to 295 for 5 in 47.4 overs to take a 1-0 lead
