The Bangladesh cricket team has delivered an impressive bowling performance in their warm-up match against a West Indies XI. While their batting preparation was steady, it was their bowling prowess that truly stood out. Young left-arm spinner Hassan Murad stole the show, taking a sensational hat-trick in just 10 deliveries, showcasing his potential ahead of a highly anticipated Test debut.

The West Indies XI crumbled under Bangladesh's disciplined bowling attack, managing only 87 runs in 27.4 overs for the loss of nine wickets. Except for Kimani Melius, who barely crossed the 20-run mark, no other batter could make a significant impact.

Murad's magic came in the 28th over when he dismissed three consecutive batters to complete a remarkable hat-trick, finishing with figures of 1.4-0-1-3. This incredible feat underscored his readiness for the challenges of international cricket. Alongside him, Hasan Mahmud and Taskin Ahmed claimed two wickets each, while Shoriful Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed with a wicket apiece.

Rain once again disrupted the game, limiting play. Earlier, on a rain-affected first day, Bangladesh posted 253/7 in 73.2 overs. The batting lineup was anchored by strong performances from wicketkeeper-batters Litton Das, Jaker Ali Anik, and Mahidul Islam Ankon, who provided valuable runs ahead of the main series.
