Bangladesh scored its first win on the tour of West Indies with a six-wicket victory in the first one-day international.

Tailenders Anderson Phillip (21 not out) and Jayden Seales (16 not out) refused to give up the final wicket, adding 39 runs. Phillip hit his team's only six of the innings at Providence.
Shoriful Islam took 4-34 and Mehidy Hasan Miraz 3-36 and were the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers.
Bangladesh reached the target with 55 balls to spare, scoring 151-4 in 31.5 overs. Mahmudullah top scored with an unbeaten 41 off 69 deliveries, and Najmul Hossain Shanto hit a 46-ball 37.
Spinner Gudakesh Motie was economical with a return of 1-18 from nine overs.
The second ODI in the three-match series is on Wednesday at the same venue.
