Alzarri Joseph took two wickets in the first session on the fifth day as West Indies wrapped up a 201-run win over Bangladesh in Antigua in the first match of the two-Test series. Bangladesh lasted less than seven overs on Tuesday as the West Indies sealed their first home Test win in over two years. Joseph (2-32) dismissed Hasan Mahmud (0), before ending Jaker Ali's stand on 31.

That left Bangladesh on 129-9, and Joseph then sent a fierce bouncer into the shoulder of Shoriful Islam. Shoriful attempted to continue, but lasted just eight balls before he was forced to retire hurt, ensuring Bangladesh's innings came to an end and giving the home side victory. It was the first time the West Indies Indies have won a test at home since they beat Bangladesh in June 2022, ending a four-match winless streak.
