Half of the first day was spent in the rain. The toss was too late. Played like one session. But there was no relief in the mind of Bangladesh even on such a cold day. After winning the toss and batting, the visitors lost 2 wickets at the beginning!
Bangladesh batted 30 overs on the first day. Passed the day with 69 runs for 2 wickets. Sadman Islam scored 50 runs out of it. Shahadat Hossain, the Bangladeshi opener, went into bat again on the second day today. This time, he had to stand at one end and watch his teammates come and go.
Bangladesh scored 108 runs for 6 wickets in 49.1 overs in the first innings of the second and final Test of the series in Jamaica till writing this report at 10 pm. Mehdi Hasan Miraj (11) and Taijul Islam (1) are the batting captains.
Bangladesh had to lose the first Test of the series in Antigua due to batting failure. The same scene is repeated in Sabina Park. The visiting team lost their first wicket in the ninth over of the day today. Coming to bowl his first over of the day, Shamar Joseph bowled Deepu on the fourth ball. Dipu can add another 10 runs to the previous day's 12 runs.
Two wickets on the first day – Mahmudul Hasan Joy (3) and Muminul Haque (0) were caught behind the wicket by pacer Kimar Roach. Today the pacers got swing but yesterday there was not much swing in the bowling of the Caribbean pacers. Still, the Bangladeshi batsmen struggled to score runs. Couldn't even try to keep the bat on the wicket.
Shamar took 3 wickets today. Meanwhile, wicketkeeper Liton Das (1) went back to the over of another pacer Jayden Sills, putting more pressure on Bangladesh. 83 to 98—Tourists lose 4 wickets in these 15 runs. Zaker Ali Anik (1) gifted Shamar the wicket before Liton's departure was dealt with. Seeing the coming and going of the teammates is like a sadman who is a wall around you. Shamar's ball hit his bat and went into wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silver's gloves. Before returning, Sadman scored 64 runs off 137 balls with 5 fours and 1 six.
