Match preview & overview
Bangladesh win by 101 runs at Sabina Park to beat West Indies in Kingston Test
Bangladesh Cricket beat West Indies Cricket by 101 runs in Kingston on 30 November 2024, completing a four-innings victory at Sabina Park that few would have predicted given Bangladesh's form coming into the match. Bangladesh posted 164 in the first innings after winning the toss and choosing to bat, then restricted West Indies to 146. A second-innings total of 268 set West Indies a target of 287. They were bowled out for 185, leaving Bangladesh with a 101-run margin. Taijul Islam was named player of the match for his role with the ball across both West Indies innings.
The result carries particular weight given Bangladesh's run of form in 2024. They had lost five consecutive completed Tests before this fixture, including back-to-back series defeats against India and South Africa. Winning away from home, at a ground with a 45% chase success rate and a reputation for testing batting line-ups, is a meaningful shift in that narrative.
Both first-innings scores sat comfortably below Sabina Park's 75-match average of 213. That is not unusual for this ground; the surface consistently rewards bowlers who hit the right lengths, and spin in particular can be effective once the pitch dries out into the later days.

Angles the data surfaced
- Sabina Park's chase success rate of 45% across 75 matches suggests markets pricing fourth-innings chases at this venue warrant careful scrutiny; the pitch rarely offers the batting side a straightforward run chase.
- Player of the match markets in Tests at Sabina Park may favour specialist bowlers given the venue's historically low average scores; West Indies' pace attack and Bangladesh's spin options are both worth considering across a five-day format.
- Top West Indies batter markets could be influenced significantly by who performs in the opening session on day one, given the venue's reputation for early movement and the ground's below-average first-innings scores.
- Given Bangladesh's record of five Test defeats in 2024 before this fixture, match-result markets in series involving these two sides may reflect a form picture that doesn't fully account for individual venue characteristics.
