After 15 years, Bangladesh was able to defeat them again on West Indies soil. In 2009, Bangladesh won both Tests during their tour of West Indies. It was a second-tier West Indies team. In between, Bangladesh went to the Caribbean and was whitewashed in Tests three more times. After 15 years, that streak ended. Bangladesh won the second Test of the series at Sabina Park in Kingston with a big win of 101 runs. The series ended in a 1-1 draw.

After a big loss in the first Test, Mehedi Miraj, who was given the lead, won the toss and batted in the second and final Test in order to turn around. His team suffered a batting disaster. They were all out for just 164 runs. Opener Sadman Islam scored the highest score of 64 runs for the team.

In reply, young fast pacer Nahid Rana bowled out the West Indies for 146 runs with excellent bowling. He took 5 wickets in an innings for the first time in his career. Bangladesh took a lead of 18 runs from the first innings.

Bangladesh scored 268 runs in the second innings thanks to Zaker Ali's determination. Zaker played an innings of 91 runs with one end. In addition, Shadman 46 and Miraj added 42 runs. Bangladesh set the hosts a target of 287 runs to win.

Bangladesh defeated Thailand 7-2 in the ongoing Youth Asia Cup in Oman on Thursday. And with this, the Bangladesh team has qualified for the U-21 Hockey World Cup for the first time. The young Tigers have done what the national team has never been able to do.

Bangladesh took the lead by two more goals in this quarter. After another goal in the fourth quarter, Thailand equalized by one goal. The final whistle blew with a scoreline of 7-2.

Bangladesh has no history of playing in the World Cup at any level in hockey. This time, that dream has come true thanks to the youth. India had already secured its place as the host. The top six teams from the Junior Asia Cup will go to the World Cup. In this fifth to seventh deciding match of Group B, the Tigers won the match without giving Thailand any chance. As a result, Bangladesh entered the six teams from Asia to get a chance.

In such a situation, the Ireland women's cricket team had a great experience today. The Irish girls experienced riding a rickshaw for the first time in their lives.

The cricketers of the Ireland team and the coaching staff also experienced riding a rickshaw, a popular vehicle in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) made this arrangement for the visiting team.

Several rickshaws were brought to Mirpur Stadium on Friday afternoon. And a little later, the players of the Irish women's cricket team got on the rickshaws. They did not hesitate to get on. Then everyone had a lot of fun together.

Many of the cricketers also took pictures with the rickshaw pullers. Many others drove rickshaws. They realized that playing cricket is not as easy as driving a rickshaw.

These rickshaws took the cricketers out of the stadium and onto the streets of Mirpur. Irish girls roamed the empty streets on Friday, a holiday.

They will enter the field tomorrow, Saturday, November 30, in the morning of the second ODI with this joy. The match starts at 10 am at the Mirpur ground. Bangladesh won the first ODI of the series by a big margin of 154 runs, and Nigar Sultana Jyoti's team is leading.
