Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain claimed a career-best 6-35 as Bangladesh crushed West Indies by 74 runs on Saturday in the opener of their three-match ODI series.

Rishad claims career-best as Bangladesh draw first blood with WI romp in ODIs

Rishad's figures, the second-best by a Bangladeshi bowler behind Mashrafe Bin Mortaza's 6-26 against Kenya in 2006, helped wrap up the West Indies innings for 133 in 39 overs.

He also hit a 13 ball-26 to help Bangladesh post 207 before being all out in 49.4 overs.

Openers Brandon King and Alick Athanzae batted resolutely on a typically sluggish Mirpur wicket to give West Indies a glimmer of hope to chase down the total.

But the introduction of Rishad in the 12th changed the momentum.

Rishad broke through with the wicket of Athanaze (27) but King kept West Indies in the hunt.
