Bangladesh scored its first win on the tour of West Indies with a six-wicket victory in the first One-Day International.

Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bowl in a match reduced to 41 overs per innings because of a wet outfield. The West Indies struggled to get going and posted an unchallenging 149-9, with No. 3 Shamarh Brooks leading the scoring with a 66-ball 33. Shoriful Islam (4-34) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (3-36) were the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers.
