Chasing 295, Rutherford's blistering century included 7 boundaries and 8 towering sixes, which dismantled the Bangladeshi bowling attack.
The West Indies secured a thrilling five-wicket win over Bangladesh in the opening ODI at Warner Park, St. Kitts, thanks to Sherfane Rutherford's remarkable knock of 113 off 80 balls.
Chasing 295, Rutherford's blistering century included 7 boundaries and 8 towering sixes, which dismantled the Bangladeshi bowling attack.
Justin Greaves (unbeaten 67) provided solid support, ensuring the hosts reached the target with 14 balls to spare.
Earlier, Bangladesh posted 294/6 in their 50 overs, propelled by three fifties from Tanzid Hasan Tamin, captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahmudullah Riyad.
Despite their efforts, the visitors' bowlers struggled to contain the West Indian batsmen on a pitch that favoured stroke play.
The West Indies bowlers, led by Romario Shepherd (3/51), had mixed success as the Bangladeshi middle order built momentum in the latter overs.
However, the Windies batters chased with intent, overturning a streak of 11 consecutive losses and taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match serie.
