West Indies Win Antigua Test, Lead Series 1-0

The West Indies secured a 201-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Test match at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Bangladesh, chasing a target of 334, was bowled out for 132 on the final day, with Alzarri Joseph taking key wickets and forcing Shoriful Islam to retire hurt. Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales were instrumental in the earlier innings, each claiming three wickets, while Taskin Ahmed's 6-64 for Bangladesh was a standout performance despite their overall batting failures. Bangladesh's innings ended at 269 for 9, despite being behind by 181 runs, and their batting lineup faltered again in the second innings, with only a few batsmen reaching double figures. The second Test is set to begin at Sabina Park, Jamaica, on Saturday.
