Shadman Islam’s 105 could not prevent Bangladesh’s late collapse in Mirpur. Jomel Warrican claimed five wickets before West Indies reached 89/1 in their first innings on Day 2.
Bangladesh vs West Indies 1st Test: Match Summary
Bangladesh lost control of the opening Test against West Indies on the second morning in Mirpur, turning a promising overnight position into a first-innings total of 272. Resuming at 213/3, the hosts lost seven wickets for 59 runs, with left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican finishing with 5/53.
The morning began positively for Bangladesh as Shadman Islam converted his overnight 99 not out into his third Test century. However, his dismissal for 105 opened the door for West Indies. Joshua Bishop struck twice, while Warrican and Shamar Joseph helped dismantle the lower order.
West Indies responded with greater purpose. John Campbell scored an unbeaten 53, and Tagenarine Chanderpaul remained not out on 21 as the pair built a 60-run partnership for the second wicket. West Indies were 89/1 after 27 overs when bad light interrupted play; rain then added to the delay.

Bangladesh First Innings: A Strong Platform, Then a Collapse
Bangladesh had worked their way to 213/3 on the opening day, with Shadman anchoring the innings and Towhid Hridoy contributing 42 before retiring hurt. That platform offered the home side a chance to build a much larger total. Instead, the remaining batters struggled to stay at the crease once Shadman departed.
Shadman reaches three figures
Shadman began Day 2 one run short of a century. He reached the landmark on the second ball of the morning, taking two runs off Joshua Bishop. The milestone was a reward for a patient innings built over 234 deliveries, with 11 fours and no sixes.
His innings ended at 105 when Bishop trapped him lbw. Bangladesh reviewed the decision, but the original call stood. Shadman’s wicket left the innings at 221 and shifted the pressure sharply towards the remaining batters.
Hridoy and the middle order fall away
Towhid Hridoy, who had resumed after retiring hurt on the first day, was dismissed by Bishop without adding to his 42. Bangladesh were suddenly 221/5, and the visitors had removed two of the home side’s most important contributors in quick succession.
Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz briefly stabilised the innings with a 32-run sixth-wicket partnership. Miraz made 15 before Warrican beat him with a delivery that went straight on and bowled him. That breakthrough reopened the lower order, which could not provide meaningful support to Litton.
The final wickets disappear quickly
Bangladesh’s last five wickets fell for just 19 runs. Nayeem Hasan made five, Hasan Mahmud scored six, Taijul Islam managed one, and Shoriful Islam was dismissed for a duck. Litton was left unbeaten on 34 from 88 balls as Bangladesh were all out for 272 in 97.4 overs.
The collapse mattered because Bangladesh had already invested substantial time in building their innings. A score of 272 was still a total the bowlers could work with, but the home side had missed an opportunity to turn Shadman’s century into a more commanding first-innings position.
Shadman Islam’s 105: The Foundation of Bangladesh’s Total
Shadman was Bangladesh’s leading batter, scoring 105 from 234 balls. His innings featured 11 boundaries and helped the hosts recover from the early loss of Tanzid Hasan, who was dismissed for seven.
Shadman built partnerships with Mominul Haque and Najmul Hossain Shanto before sharing a substantial stand with Hridoy. Mominul made 28 and Shanto added 19, but neither went on to convert their start into a bigger score.
The century was Shadman’s third in Test cricket. It also gave Bangladesh a strong starting point on Day 2, but the innings lost its shape once he was dismissed. His contribution kept Bangladesh competitive; the lower-order collapse limited the value of that work.
Jomel Warrican’s 5/53 Puts West Indies in Control
Warrican was the most effective bowler in the innings, taking five wickets for 53 runs from 23.4 overs. His figures reflected control as well as wicket-taking ability: he repeatedly forced Bangladesh’s batters to find a way past a disciplined left-arm spin spell.
Warrican removed Mominul and Shanto during the first innings, then returned to break the partnership between Litton and Miraz. He also dismissed Taijul and Shoriful to complete his five-wicket haul and finish the innings.
Joshua Bishop supported him with 2/61, including the key wickets of Shadman and Hridoy. Shamar Joseph took 2/41, while Jayden Seales claimed the other wicket. West Indies’ attack shared the workload, but Warrican’s spell was central to the final collapse.
West Indies Reply: John Campbell Leads the Response
West Indies lost Brandon King for 15, caught by substitute fielder Jaker Ali off Hasan Mahmud, with the score at 29. That gave Bangladesh an early opening, but the home side could not add another wicket before the interruption.
John Campbell counterattacked and reached 53 not out from 65 balls, including six fours and two sixes. Tagenarine Chanderpaul supported him with 21 not out from 77 deliveries. Their unbeaten 60-run partnership took West Indies to 89/1 in 27 overs.
Campbell’s positive scoring helped West Indies reduce the deficit, although his innings also included chances offered to the fielding side. Bangladesh had opportunities to put the visitors under greater pressure, but the second wicket did not arrive before the weather intervened.
At the latest confirmed update used in this report, West Indies trailed by 183 runs with nine wickets in hand. The match remained open: the visitors had made a useful start, but they still needed to build a substantial first-innings total.
Turning Point: Shadman’s Dismissal at 221
Shadman’s wicket was the defining moment of Bangladesh’s innings. The hosts were 221 when he departed, and Hridoy fell soon afterwards without adding to his overnight score. The back-to-back dismissals left Bangladesh five down and removed the two batters who had contributed most to the recovery.
Warrican then broke the brief resistance from Litton and Miraz. With the middle order gone, the tail could not extend the innings. The slide from 221 to 272 cost Bangladesh seven wickets for only 51 additional runs after Shadman’s dismissal, including a final five-wicket burst for 19 runs.
Key Performances

| Towhid Hridoy | 42 off 86 balls | Helped build Bangladesh’s middle-order platform before falling early on Day 2. |
| Litton Das | 34 not out off 88 balls | Was left stranded as the lower order collapsed. |
| John Campbell | 53 not out off 65 balls | Provided West Indies with an assertive start in reply. |
Why Bangladesh Lost Momentum
- Failure to convert a platform: Bangladesh reached 213/3 on Day 1 but could not turn that position into a total above 300.
- Two quick middle-order wickets: Shadman and Hridoy fell in close succession, exposing the lower order.
- Warrican’s control: The spinner consistently challenged the batters and finished with five wickets.
- Limited tail-end resistance: The final five wickets added only 19 runs, leaving Litton without enough support.
- Missed fielding chances: Bangladesh had opportunities during West Indies’ reply but could not remove Campbell after King’s dismissal.

Series Impact and What’s Next
This is the opening Test of the West Indies tour of Bangladesh, so there is no series winner to declare from this match yet. Bangladesh will want early wickets when play resumes, while West Indies will look to turn their opening partnership into a substantial first-innings score.
The next phase depends on conditions and the amount of play available after the weather interruption. West Indies have a platform, but Bangladesh can still reduce the deficit if their bowlers make use of the new ball and maintain pressure on the batters.
