Team Previews
West Indies Preview
West Indies displayed a commanding performance in the first Test, excelling in both batting and bowling. The middle order was particularly effective, with Alick Athanaze (132 runs) and Justin Greaves (117 runs) playing crucial roles. The bowling attack, led by Jayden Seales (5 wickets) and Kemar Roach (4 wickets), dismantled Bangladesh’s batting lineup.
However, their second-innings batting collapse in the first Test serves as a reminder to improve consistency. On home turf, they remain firm favorites to dominate with both bat and ball.
- Key Players: Alick Athanaze, Jayden Seales, Mikyle Louis
Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh struggled throughout the first Test, particularly with the bat. The absence of top-order stability hurt their chances, with only Jaker Ali Anik (84 runs) offering some resistance. Taskin Ahmed (8 wickets) was a standout performer, showcasing exceptional bowling in both innings.
For a better result, the Tigers need contributions from experienced players like Litton Das and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz. A strong start with the bat and improved bowling support for Taskin will be crucial.
- Key Players: Taskin Ahmed, Jaker Ali Anik, Mominul Haque
