**North Sound, Antigua** – Taskin Ahmed spearheaded Bangladesh’s bowling attack on Day 4 of the first Test against the West Indies, claiming four crucial wickets as the home side struggled. Ahmed’s impressive spell, which included some clever variations of pace and swing, left the West Indies batting lineup reeling.
The early wickets of Kavem Hodge (4 runs) and Alick Athanaze (0 runs) set the tone for a challenging day for the Windies. While Kraigg Brathwaite offered some resistance, scoring 17 runs before being dismissed, Ahmed continued to prove a formidable opponent, ultimately finishing with figures of 4/26. Shoriful Islam also contributed, claiming one wicket.
Despite a streaky boundary off Taskin Ahmed, and another four via an edge that evaded the fielders, the West Indies batting performance was largely underwhelming. Mikyle Louis (4) was another casualty as the Bangladesh bowlers maintained a tight grip on the innings. The score at the close was not reported but the overall trend of the day clearly indicates a dominant Bangladesh performance. The match continues tomorrow.
