Jomel Warrican took nine wickets at Mirpur, Roston Chase took five more, and Bangladesh‘s spinners, who took eight in the first innings, did not manage one in 28.1 overs of the second.
That gap decided the first Test, which West Indies won by eight wickets after chasing 170 with Brandon King’s unbeaten 81.
Now the series moves to Sylhet, where the second Test begins on Thursday, November 5 at 9.30 a.m. local time (9 a.m. IST).
West Indies have won three Tests this World Test Championship cycle but not a series, and Daren Sammy wants the same mentality and a little more hunger. Bangladesh must find an answer to spin.
They bring in Amite Hasan for Mominul Haque, and Mushfiqur Rahim, who missed Mirpur with a finger injury, is in the squad. West Indies lead the head to head 16-5.

Bangladesh vs. West Indies prediction: Who will win?
West Indies should win this, though Bangladesh will not make it easy.
At Mirpur, their spinners took 14 of the 20 wickets, while Bangladesh’s three took eight, and none came in the chase. Bangladesh led by 27 after the first innings and still collapsed to 142, which says the batting has a problem against turning balls. Taijul Islam has just five wickets in his last five Tests, so the home attack lacks a match-winner.
Sylhet has favoured the side batting first, with four wins in six Tests, so the toss matters. A fit Mushfiqur Rahim and Shadman Islam, who made 105 at Mirpur, give Bangladesh a real chance of squaring the series. Still, Warrican and Chase look the better spin pair, and West Indies can take the series 2-0.
TSN Prediction: West Indies to win.
