Rutherford’s explosive maiden ODI century marked the end of West Indies’ prolonged eleven-match losing streak against Bangladesh. His scintillating 80-ball 113, aided by captain Shai Hope’s steady 86, led the hosts to a thrilling five-wicket victory in the first ODI at Warner Park, St. Kitts. This win marked West Indies’ highest successful chase at the venue and set the tone for the three-match series.
