Bangladesh and West Indies start their two-match Test series in Mirpur, with the opening match underway. NDTV reports that Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto wins the toss and opts to bat.
Beyond the on-field start, outlets also frame the contest in terms of stakes and access. NDTV links the match to Bangladesh’s goal of keeping its qualification hopes for the World Test Championship (WTC) final alive. Another NDTV piece focuses on how fans can watch the match live in India, while the Times of India provides a live-score page but the supplied summary does not add further reported detail.
Overall, the coverage converges on the series opener and the toss/batting decision, while differing on whether the emphasis is match-watching logistics or tournament context for Bangladesh.
