Bangladesh Team Preview
Bangladesh are brimming with confidence after sealing the ODI series against the West Indies. The Tigers have displayed an impressive resurgence in T20 cricket, currently ranked 9th in the ICC Men’s T20I Rankings with a rating of 225. Having whitewashed Afghanistan 3-0 in their last T20I series, they enter this contest with momentum on their side.
Skipper Litton Das will be crucial at the top, alongside Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who has been in sublime form with over 500 runs in 2025. Towhid Hridoy and Saif Hassan add solidity in the middle order, while the spin department led by Nasum Ahmed and Rishad Hossain has been Bangladesh’s biggest strength.
On the bowling front, Bangladesh boast a balanced attack. Taskin Ahmed has been exceptional with 21 wickets in just 10 matches this year, while Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Shoriful Islam provide quality pace options. The presence of Mustafizur Rahman adds death-bowling expertise, giving the side a complete attack for all conditions.
Playing in familiar Chattogram conditions gives Bangladesh a strong edge. The surface tends to assist spinners, and the Tigers have the perfect combination of spin and control to exploit that. With home support and confidence from recent wins, Bangladesh will look to dominate proceedings and start the series on a high.
West Indies Team Preview
The West Indies enter this T20I series after a disappointing ODI campaign but will look to redeem themselves in their favorite format. Ranked 6th in the ICC Men’s T20I standings, the Windies have always been dangerous in the shorter format, boasting explosive hitters and experienced all-rounders.
Captain Shai Hope has been in superb form, carrying his ODI rhythm into T20Is, with 363 runs this year. His leadership and stability at the top are key to West Indies’ batting success. Rovman Powell, Brandon King, and Sherfane Rutherford bring immense firepower in the middle order, while all-rounders like Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd provide depth and balance.
In bowling, Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie will be pivotal on the spin-friendly Chattogram track. Hosein’s economy and wicket-taking ability in the middle overs could challenge Bangladesh’s batters. Meanwhile, Holder, Joseph, and Seales will look to make early breakthroughs with the new ball.
However, inconsistency has plagued the Windies this year — with just 3 wins in 15 T20Is. To win this game, their batting unit must click collectively. If the Windies’ hitters adapt to the slower pitch, they could make a strong comeback in this series opener.
