ANTIGUA: In a major collapse, Bangladesh set a new record after six of their batsmen were dismissed for ducks in the first test match against the West Indies in Antigua, the second in a row.
Six Bangladeshi batsmen namely Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque, Nurul Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Khaled Ahmed went to the pavilion without disturbing the scorers.
The Bengali Tigers were eliminated for 103 board runs in just 32.
5 overs.
Windies, after winning the toss, opted to pitch first, which worked out for the host side as they only used five of their pitchers to eliminate the Bengali Tigers. The bowlers’ choice was Jayden Seals and Alzarri Joseph who each got 3 wickets while Kemar Roach and Kyle Mayers finished with 2 wickets each.
Not forgetting, in the process, Bangladesh have made an unwelcome record against their name by registering six ducks in an innings in consecutive matches. Six of their batsmen went out scoreless on Day 1 of the 1st Test against the West Indies in Antigua.
The same thing had happened in their last Test against Sri Lanka in Mirpur.
At one point in the innings, Bangladesh were 45 for 6 as they had no answer to the West Indies bowling. The clueless batsman from Bangladesh followed one after another and it seemed that the visitors would be booked for a worse and worse score.
However, captain Shakib Al Hasan’s fifty ensured that Bangladesh crossed the 100-run mark.
