OTD| Bangladesh registered their lowest Test innings score of 43 against West Indies in 2018

Bangladesh got their Test status in late 2000 and in their very first match, they played India and scored a massive 400-plus score on the board. Despite losing the match, many felt that Bangladesh was ready for the next step.
Out of the 142 Test matches that Bangladesh has played so far, they have just won 19. On the other hand, they managed to lose a whopping 105 Test matches and draw just 18 matches.

It is no secret that despite boasting of some big names, Bangladesh have managed to struggle in the Test format. They have one of the worst records for any side having Test status with a minimum of 100m matches being played.
Bangladesh humbled and bowled out for 43

It was 2018 when the Bangladeshi side went on a tour of the West Indies. Jason Holder won the toss and chose to bowl first on what looked like a fresh pitch in Antigua. Kemar Roach began by dismissing Tamim Iqbal for 4 caught behind by Shane Dowrich.
