After losing the ODI series at home Bangladesh were desperate to play well in
the first test match, and they performed really well. Batting first they put up
a very good total of 350 for 9 and then they declared their innings.
Opener Tamim Iqbal, current skipper Mushfiqur Rahim and former
skipper Shakib Al Hasan contributed well. Unfortunately two days of the
test were cancelled due to bad weather. So it was expected that it would be
a draw and finally it was a draw. Bangladeshi bowler new comer Sunny Elias was
really good in the first Test. He got 6 valuable wickets in the first innings.
Spinner Shakib also assisted him very well taking 3 wickets in the first innings.
So, in the second Test Bangladesh will be trying to repeat their performance.
On the other hand, West Indies were really flop in their first innings. They managed
only 244 runs losing all their wickets. Only Sammy and Experienced Chanderpaul
got some runs, but it was too little to give a challenge to the hosts.
In fact, Bangladesh got a lead of 140 runs in their first test. West Indies must
be very careful, when they will be meeting Bangladesh in the second Test.
Their key batmen Chanderpaul, Samules, Simmons all need to bat well. Among their
bowlers only Edwards got 4 wickets and bowled well in the first innings of the
test, so other bowlers have to upgrade their performance, especially their spinners,
because Mirpur will be also a spinning track like Chittagong.
The second Test will be the deciding test match between this two sides, Bangladesh
will try hard and soul to play well and win the match to give their fans something
to cheer, and West Indies are a better side indeed, they are expected to do
a lot better in their next match. It is expected to be a very exciting test
match.
