Showers forced an early end to the first Twenty20 game between the West Indies and Bangladesh at a refurbished Windsor Park.
The wet ground delayed the game by 100 minutes and reduced the game to 16 balls per side. After the match was paused in the eighth round, the match was reduced to 14 rounds each.
Bangladesh, beaten first, had only 13 passes when a shower interrupted the game again. But that’s enough for officials to call a washout with the ground basking in sunlight.
Bangladesh is 105-8. Shakib Al Hasan scored the most goals with 29 goals, and every West Indies pitcher has a goal, led by Romario Shepherd with a score of 3-21.

The game is the first international cricket at Windsor Park since it was rebuilt after being severely damaged in 2017 by a storm.
It will take place the second game on Sunday. The third and final T20 is scheduled for Thursday in Providence, Guyana.
