West Indies vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Match Prediction

Preview

West Indies vs Bangladesh: Bangladesh is coming in off another poor Test performance and will be playing on a ground that hasn’t been used for five years. As a side, they are likely to be dented, especially after poor displays of ground fielding. With another World Cup coming shortly, the series will give them a chance to fine-tune their lineup. West Indies too are still building on a side with some new names. Nicholas Pooran is doing a fine job as skipper and will have to guide his young team well through the series.

Key Players

Nasum Ahmed

In the past few years, Shakib and Miraj are the ones seen as Bangladesh’s strike spin bowlers. Nasum Ahmed though has been pretty good as well. He is a wonderful supporting bowler and has a fair share of wickets to prove his worth in the side.

Kyle Mayers

Kyle Mayers is fresh off a man of the series performance and another Test century. He is in some nice form and will be high on confidence coming into the game. With the batting line-up low on experience, Mayers’ patience can help West Indies strengthen their middle-order. His bowling is another aspect that will be useful.

West Indies vs Bangladesh Match Prediction

Both teams are pretty decent when it comes to the T20 format. However, with some exciting talent and hitters in the West Indies line-up the West Indies team may be in with a stronger chance of winning.

Match Prediction: West Indies will win the match
