TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
West Indies are heading into this T20 series against Bangladesh with a lot of momentum after their strong ODI performance. T20 is their go-to format, making them even tougher opponents.
The return of Johnson Charles is a big boost. He's a seasoned T20 batsman with over 7,000 runs and a blistering strike rate of 133. Captain Rovman Powell will be key in the middle order, and Evin Lewis, Brandon King, and Nicholas Pooran are expected to anchor the innings and take it deep.
Keacy Carty, fresh from a standout performance in the ODIs, where he amassed 161 runs in 3 innings, has been called up for his first taste of T20 international action.
Alzarri Joseph will lead the bowling attack, having been in excellent wicket-taking form. Akeal Hosein will keep things tight with his accurate bowling, and Romario Shepherd is a threat to take key wickets.
Key Players: Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran, Alzarri Joseph
West Indies Predicted Playing XI:
Rovman Powell (c), Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Keacy Carty, Johnson Charles (wk), Nicholas Pooran, Justin Greaves, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, Obed McCoy

Bangladesh Preview
After a disappointing 0-3 sweep in the ODI series, Bangladesh will be eager to turn things around. However, reversing their fortunes won’t be easy, given their ongoing six-match losing streak in the format. Much depends on Litton Das, whose leadership and recent tally of 199 runs at an average of 22.11 from the last 10 games will be key.
The batting unit, aside from Litton, lacks experience. Tanzid Hasan and Jaker Ali are names to watch, as both have the potential to step up.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has performed well in Tests and ODIs this year, could also make a difference. While his T20I contributions with the bat haven’t stood out, he has the ability to deliver quick runs down the order. His spin bowling could be decisive on a pitch that favors turn.
Bangladesh’s bowling attack appears stronger. Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud are expected to open, bringing pace and discipline. Tanzim Hasan Sakib offers raw speed, often exceeding 140 km/h, while Rishad Hossain brings a dependable option for middle overs, capable of troubling the West Indies batters.
Key Players: Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Litton Das, Taskin Ahmed
Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI:
Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das (c), Jaker Ali (wk), Afif Hossain/ Shamim Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed
Bangladesh Actual Playing XI:
Litton Das, Jaker Ali, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Afif Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Shamim Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Soumya Sarkar
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent typically offers a good batting surface for T20 cricket. The pitch is generally flat and true, allowing batsmen to score freely. There's usually some pace and bounce on offer for the bowlers, but it's not overly challenging. As the game progresses, the pitch may slow down slightly, allowing spinners to come into play.
Some showers are forecast in the afternoon, which might delay the game or lead to a shortened fixture.

The average score batting first at the Arnos Vale Ground is just 133. The highest total posted at the venue is Bangladesh’s 159-5 versus the Netherlands in this year’s T20 World Cup. If Bangladesh bat first in this match, they will target a score of around 160-170. The West Indies, however, with their battery of power hitters, will look for a score of around 180-200 if they get to bat first.
Toss: To Bat
Six of the seven T20Is played at the Arnos Vale Ground have been won by the team batting first. So it goes without saying that both teams will look to bat first here.
WI vs BAN
Winning Prediction
West Indies enter this T20I series as the clear favorites. The format suits them well, and playing at home gives them an added advantage. Their recent 3-0 victory in the ODI series against Bangladesh only boosts their confidence further. In contrast, Bangladesh’s T20I performance this year has been disappointing, with their batting line-up lacking the depth and firepower to compete against the explosive hitters West Indies have in their squad. These factors collectively tip the scales in favor of the hosts for the opening game.
We are backing West Indies as the winners of the first T20I.
