Greaves made 46, while captain Roston Chase stayed unbeaten on 43 as West Indies were bowled out for 245. That left them 27 runs short of Bangladesh’s first-innings total. Nayeem Hasan led Bangladesh’s bowling, taking 4 wickets while conceding 33 runs. Chase then had an impact with the ball as West Indies struck early in Bangladesh’s second innings.

Chase took 3 wickets across the 11th and 13th overs, dismissing Shadman Islam for 13, Najmul Hossain Shanto for 10 and Towhid Hridoy for 0. Bangladesh were 33/4.
