Bangladesh have never won a Test match in the West Indies and now face the prospect of their seventh consecutive series loss in the Caribbean.

- Taskin Ahmed and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are our picks for Bangladeshβs players to watch out for in this Test.
- Given the forecast of cloud cover on the first day, it’s likely we’ll see some wickets tumble early on as the new ball comes into play.

WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis
West Indies have drawn first blood in their home Test series against Bangladesh, taking a 1-0 lead after the first match in Antigua. The action now shifts to Kingston, where the two teams will meet in the second and final Test on November 30. Bangladesh’s record in the West Indies is bleak, with no Test wins to their name. Considering their current form, it’ll take a monumental effort for them to upset the hosts in the second Test. As it stands, West Indies look like favorites.
TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
West Indies clinched their first home Test win in two and a half years, beating Bangladesh by 201 runs in Antigua. Setting Bangladesh a challenging target of 334, the West Indies bowlers were relentless, dismissing the visitors for just 134.
Although the bowlers were outstanding, the batters played a crucial role in setting up the match. The hosts declared at 450 for 9 in the first innings, thanks to a resilient 140-run eighth-wicket stand between Justin Greaves and Alzarri Roach.
Bangladesh Preview
Bangladeshβs batting let them down once again as they went out tamely in the first Test, scoring 269-9 (dec.) and 132 in their two attempts. Jaker Aliβs 53 was the teamβs highest score across two innings in the previous game, showing once again how unreliable their batting unit is.
There is plenty of talent there, but the batters lack the patience and application to grind it out in these conditions. Apart from Jaker, Mominul Haque, Litton Das, and skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz have been in decent touch as well and you can expect some handy contributions from them.
Weather Conditions
Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, typically offers a fast and bouncy pitch, favoring pace bowlers, especially early on. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down and provide more assistance to spinners. Batsmen need to be watchful against the new ball but can score runs once they adjust to the pace and bounce. The outfield is generally quick, rewarding well-timed shots. Overall, it’s a pitch that provides something for everyone.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected throughout the Test with cloudy skies. The match is hence likely to be disrupted.
WI vs BAN Pitch Report
The average first innings score at Kingston, Jamaica is 317. It comes down to 149 in the fourth innings. The team batting first will look to set a score of around 320-330 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Three of the last four Tests at Sabina Park have been won comfortably by the team batting first. However, the weather for the first day of the match is expected to be cloudy and windy and this might tempt both captains to bowl first and utilize the conditions to get early wickets.
