WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis
Hosts West Indies will look to take an early lead in the two-match Test Series against Bangladesh. The side recently suffered back-to-back series losses against South Africa and England and shall look for a turnaround. The Bangladeshis will also aim to turn their fortunes after the series loss against India.
TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
Kraigg Brathwaite will look to end their wait for a series win. It has almost been two years since the team hasnβt won a Test series. While we have seen sparks of brilliance occasionally, the side has been inconsistent. They have a good record against Bangladesh and would like to build on that.
Kraigg Brathwaite must lead from the front and put up a big partnership with Mikyle Louis. Alick Athanaze is the rising star in the team, and he must do well in the middle order with Keacy Carty and Kavem Hodge. Justin Greaves and Joshua Da Silva strengthen the lower middle order.
Bangladesh Preview
Mehidy Hasan Miraz takes over as the team’s captain, with Najmul Hossain Shanto out with an injury. They come here after suffering a whitewash against India and need to regain their form and confidence. The team doesnβt have a good record in the West Indies, and Miraz would like to get the best out of his young players in this game.
The side will look for a good start from Zakir Hasan and Mahmudul Hasan Joy, as their opponents have a good fast-bowling attack. Mominul Haque, Litton Das, and Jaker Ali are the backbone of this batting and need to build partnerships. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Ahmed will look to do well in the lower middle order and take the side to a big total.
Weather Conditions
The weather forecast is for clear skies, making the conditions good for batting. The pitch will be flat, and the batters can play their strokes freely. The average first-inning score is 272 runs at this venue. The side that bats first on this surface would have to eye around 400 runs in the first innings.
WI vs BAN Pitch Report
Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua, has a batting-friendly wicket. The shorter square boundaries allow batters to score runs quickly. Fast bowlers get some assistance in the early overs, and spinners also do well on this track as the game progresses and the pitch slows down.
Toss: To Bat
Most teams have won games at this venue while batting first. It is a tough wicket to chase scores as the conditions become difficult on Day 3 and 4. Both teams will look to use the conditions well and bat first on winning the toss.
