Ahead of the Test series Bangladesh have completed their preparation well in West Indies. 

Bangladesh’s bowlers, led by left-arm spinner Hasan Murad, delivered a good performance in a two-day warm-up match against the West Indies Select XI in Antigua.

Murad, who has played two T20Is for the national team, grabbed the spotlight with a stunning hat-trick to draw the game.

Bangladesh declared their innings at 253 for 7 after winning the toss. Several batters, including Mominul Haque, Litton Das, Zakir Ali Anik, and Mahidul Islam Ankon, spent valuable time in the middle.

Mominul scored 31 off 58 balls, while Litton made 31 off 53 balls before retiring to allow others to bat. Zakir contributed 48 from 110 balls, and Ankon chipped in with 41 off 87 balls.

Rain and Bangladesh’s sharp bowling limited the West Indies Select XI’s opportunities with the bat.

The hosts could manage only 87 runs in 27.4 overs, losing nine wickets in the process. 

Hasan Murad was the best bowler for Bangladesh, completing his hat-trick in the 28th over by dismissing Daniel Beckford, Navian Bidaisee, and Chaim Holder in consecutive deliveries. Murad finished with figures of 1.4 overs, 1 run, and 3 wickets.

The pacers also contributed well. Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud each picked up two wickets, with Taskin conceding 21 runs in 5 overs and Hasan Mahmud giving away just 15 runs in his 6 overs.
