Bangladesh made 272 in its first innings and 142 in its second; West Indies replied with 245 and then reached 170/2 to complete the chase.

Bangladesh vs. West Indies first Test: final result

How West Indies completed the eight-wicket win

Bangladesh resumed Day 4 at 79/6 in its second innings, 106 runs ahead, after bad light had ended Day 3 early. Jomel Warrican gave West Indies an early breakthrough by dismissing Jaker Ali. Nayeem Hasan then made 52 and helped Bangladesh extend the innings, but the hosts were eventually all out for 142. That left West Indies needing 170 to win. The ICC’s final-day report identifies captain Roston Chase as the leading bowler in the innings, with figures of 5/36.

West Indies approached the target aggressively. John Campbell scored 49 before he was dismissed with the total at 112. Tagenarine Chanderpaul also fell, but Brandon King and Kavem Hodge carried on and finished the chase. King was unbeaten on 81 when West Indies reached 170/2. The result gave the visitors an eight-wicket victory and a 1–0 lead in the series. The ICC reported the result on October 31, the fourth scheduled day of the Test.

The final score is the confirmed match outcome. The scheduled five-day window ran through November 1, but the match ended a day earlier. Bangladesh’s overnight lead and remaining wickets did not determine the result; the second innings and West Indies’ chase did.

How the match reached the final day

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat, according to the match-day scorecard reporting. Shadman Islam made 105 as the hosts reached 213/3 at the close of the opening day. On Day 2, Bangladesh lost its last seven wickets for 59 runs and finished at 272. Jomel Warrican took five wickets for 53, while debutant Joshua Bishop also contributed to the collapse.

West Indies closed Day 2 at 134/4, 138 runs behind, with six first-innings wickets remaining. The visitors were bowled out for 245 on Day 3, leaving Bangladesh with a 27-run first-innings advantage. Bangladesh’s second innings then lost wickets to Chase and Warrican, among others, and the hosts ended that day at 79/6. Their lead had reached 106, but four wickets remained and West Indies had not yet begun its final innings. Bad light brought the day to an early close.

On Day 4, the remaining Bangladesh wickets fell and West Indies successfully chased the target. The four innings therefore finished at Bangladesh 272 and 142, and West Indies 245 and 170/2. This sequence explains why the visitors won by eight wickets rather than by runs or an innings.

Venue, schedule and start time

The first Test was played at Shere Bangla National Stadium, also styled Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, in Mirpur, Dhaka. The ICC schedule set the match window for October 28–November 1, 2026. Cricket West Indies (CWI) listed the first Test for October 28 and published a start time of 12:00 a.m. AST. The official fixture listing gave the scheduled start as 04:00 UTC on Wednesday, October 28. That corresponds to 10:00 a.m. Bangladesh Standard Time in Dhaka (UTC+06:00). These are scheduled first-ball times, not the time the result was decided.

The two-Test series forms part of the 2025–2027 WTC cycle. The second Test is scheduled for November 5–9 in Sylhet. The first Test result means West Indies enter that match with a 1–0 series lead; it does not by itself settle the two-match series.

Where to check the scorecard and coverage

The match is complete, so the official CWI Match Centre now serves as an archived scorecard rather than a live-score feed. CWI’s results page lists the innings totals and confirms the eight-wicket result. The ICC final-day report provides the Day 4 narrative and key figures. Broadcast and replay availability can vary by country; the official pages linked below do not identify one universal provider. Viewers looking for a replay should check the licensed cricket broadcaster or streaming service in their market.

For readers following the series rather than this completed match, consult the current official schedule before relying on an older fixture listing. The second Test is planned for Sylhet from November 5 to 9, and its start-time listing may be displayed in a different time zone from Dhaka. Convert from the stated source time and date rather than assuming that a calendar date is identical in every location.
