CHITTAGONG (Bangladesh): Kayle Mayers scored a double century on his debut as West Indies beat Bangladesh by three wickets in the first Test in Chittagong on Sunday.
Mayers hit an unbeaten 210 off 310 balls while Nkrumah Bonner added 86 helping West Indies to 395-7 with just 1.3 overs left on the final day to complete the stunning run chase.
Mehidy Hasan picked up 4-113 for Bangladesh.
The second Test of the two-match series starts in Dhaka on February 11.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s cricket authorities filed a police complaint against three Indian nationals for illegally betting during the country’s first Test against West Indies, officials said.
The Test is being held behind closed doors, but police said the three had managed to find a way into Chittagong’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium on Saturday.
“The BCB accused them of betting through digital means inside the stadium. They were formally arrested today,” said Hasan Imam, a senior Chittagong police officer.
“We are also investigating how they were able to go to the stadium when spectators are banned.”
Almost all gambling is illegal in Bangladesh but it is rampant during cricket matches, when underground punters exploit a brief delay between live play and official broadcasts to place bets.
