Nayeem Hasan's resistance sets West Indies a target of 170

At the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, Bangladesh's second innings folded for 142 on the fourth morning of the first Test, setting West Indies a target of 170. Bangladesh resumed the day on 79 for 6, added 63 runs and lost their remaining four wickets before lunch, when West Indies reached 8 without loss. The morning belonged to Nayeem Hasan, whose maiden Test fifty, made from 87 balls, dragged Bangladesh to a respectable total. Jaker Ali Anik, the overnight partner, fell for 22 early in the session, and Nayeem combined with the lower order to resist. He was dropped on 29 off the bowling of Roston Chase, a miss that shaped the outcome of the innings. Chase finished with 5 for 36, while Jomel Warrican, who took 5 for 53 in the first innings and 4 for 63 in the second, ended with nine wickets in the match. Their combined spin pressure kept Bangladesh's scoring rate low and forced repeated errors. The target of 170 is consistent with the figures available: Bangladesh led by 106 at the start of day four while on 79 for 6, implying a 27-run first-innings lead; adding the second-innings 142 gives 169, plus one for the target. One inconsistency remains: the report says Bangladesh added 64 runs on day four, but 142 minus 79 is 63. The report is a live, unsigned match dispatch with no quoted sources. It omits the West Indies' first-innings total, the exact date, and the series context, and its evaluative language leans towards the home side. It is best read as a snapshot of a match in progress rather than a final record.
