West Indies vs Bangladesh, 1st ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Windies have managed to take the early lead. It is vital in a 3-match series as it becomes very difficult for the team which is trailing. Bangladesh have a fine white ball record against the Windies and they will surely look to bounce back. Rutherford magic did take the visitors by surprise but I am sure they will have more ways out to counter him. Time for us to draw curtains. We will be back soon with more cricketing action.

Shai Hope: We wanted to turn that 11 match losing streak. The consistency showed with the bat and the ball. Easy paced surface. Little slow at times. We have the luxury of Justin Greaves now in our team. Rutherford is leading from the front with his batting. Has has put in a lot of hard work. I am more disappointed that I didn't win it for my team. There should be a habit of finishing games. The 100 is a by-product of that. The top four batters will have to raise their hands and perform. We need to be consistent.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz: We were satisfied with 294 for this kind of wicket. Credit to them. They got a partnership in the middle overs. We had a tough day as a bowling side. Tanzim and Nahid bowled well. We didn't get wickets in the middle overs. Credit to them. We learnt so many things. We will look to get better in the games. We have a good chance in the games to come.

Sherfane Rutherford, Player of the Match: The key is working hard. I have been working hard on my game. Just be disciplined and give myself the best chance to do well. I tried to hit the gaps and run hard. I always knew I could make up in the end. It's part of the game to get a hit. Took a few blows for the team. Always good batting with Hope. We were batting in small partnerships. I am looking to be consistent.

17:35 Local Time, 21:35 GMT, 03:05 IST: Rutherford's 113 off 80 balls has ensured Windies have won it easily. It is the highest successful run chase in ODIs at this venue. Hope played his part and so did Justin Greaves. But Rutherford mesmerized all of us with some fine stroke making. He initially struggled a little with the short ball and was hit on the helmet a couple of times. But he found his feet after taking his time and never looked back ever since. He just kept finding the fours and sixes at will. Bangladesh started well with the ball and had kept the rate at check till almost the 25 over mark. But once Rutherford had his eyes set, he went berserk to make it 1-0 for the Windies team. Huge win indeed as the chase was never going to be easy on a slightly slowish wicket.
