ST JOHN’S – Barbados Pride’s batting failed to ignite before rain brought their opening cricket match in the West Indies Super50 Cup to a soggy end, handing Guyana Jaguars a 56-run victory under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method.
Chasing 236 for victory, the Pride failed to keep up with the required scoring rate on a slow Coolidge Cricket Ground pitch and ended on 91 for five in 29.3 overs, when the third and final stoppage for rain brought the day/night contest to an early conclusion.

DHAKA, Bangladesh, Jan 20, (AP): Shakib Al Hasan claimed 4-8 on his return to international cricket as Bangladesh made a winning start to the three-match ODI series by beating West Indies by six wickets in the opening game on Wednesday. All-rounder Shakib was back after being given a two-year ban by the International Cricket Council in October 2019, with one year suspended, for failing to report approaches from a bookmaker.
Thanks to his wily left-arm spin, Bangladesh bowled the tourists out for 122 in 32.3 overs before reaching 125-4 with 97 balls to spare in reply. Debutant Hasan Mahmud and fellow fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman also played key roles for the home team, taking 3-28 and 2-20 respectively. Rain held the players up for about an hour after Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal won the toss and asked West Indies, featuring six ODI debutants, to bat.

DHAKA: Jason Mohammad last played for West Indies more than two years ago, but with coronavirus fears causing several players to stay at home, he will lead the Caribbean side again in a key series against Bangladesh starting Wednesday.
Regular captain Jason Holder and other stars such as Kieron Pollard and Darren Bravo all refused to travel, so Mohammad got another call-up.
The 34-year-old also led West Indies Twenty20 side on a tour of Pakistan in 2018 when the stars refused to go, that time over security fears.
West Indies will play three one-day internationals and two Tests in Bangladesh, starting with the first 50-over game in Mirpur on Wednesday.
