Bangladesh followed up their Test series victory over West Indies [Images] with a convincing triumph in the opening one-day international on Sunday.

The tourists won the first of three ODI games by 52 runs, making 246 for nine before bowling out West Indies for 194.

The Caribbean team again fielded a weakened side despite the end of strike action from their first-choice players who are in dispute over payments and contracts.

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan continued his good form with a half-century to build on Mohammad Ashraful's [Images] 57 as Bangladesh made a strong total at Windsor Park, the venue hosting it's first international game.

Seamer Kemar Roach took five wickets for West Indies who then lost both openers cheaply in a poor start to their reply.

Al Hasan made the smart decision to open the bowling with spinner Abdur Razzak, who responded by trapping Dale Richards leg before with just his second delivery.

Andre Fletcher was bowled by seamer Syed Rasel, playing on with an attempted chop, as the Caribbean side fell to eight for two -- a start they never truly recovered from.

With skipper Floyd Reifer's poor form continuing as he went for three and Travis Dowlin making just 10 before he was bowled by Razzak, West Indies were in trouble at 42-4.

Devon Smith [Images] struck a smart 65 and received some good support from Dave Bernard (38) but West Indies were never really in the running.

Razzak finished with figures of 4-39 to leave his team confident of completing a test and one-day double series victory in Tuesday's second game.
