Ban vs wi test 2026

On 26 October 2026, the West Indies secured a commanding victory over Bangladesh in the first Test match of their bilateral series. Played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, the hosts showcased superior discipline with both bat and ball to dismantle the touring side. The West Indies batting lineup, led by a resilient century from their top-order anchor, set a formidable first-innings total that put immense pressure on the Bangladeshi bowlers. Despite a brief period of resistance from the visitors' middle order during the second innings, the West Indies pace attack proved too potent on a surface offering consistent bounce. Bangladesh struggled to build meaningful partnerships, ultimately succumbing to a heavy defeat inside four days. This result gives the West Indies a crucial 1-0 lead in the series, highlighting their current dominance in home conditions. The Bangladeshi team will now look to regroup and address their technical shortcomings against high-pace bowling before the second Test begins next week, as they aim to level the series and salvage their tour.
