West Indies vs Bangladesh: The last time these two sides faced of in a Test series, some of the most memorable Test matches were played. There was an epic run chase and then a tight defence with West Indies winning a Test series away from home. Now Bangladesh goes to the West Indies in the hope of taking revenge for that series loss. They will be playing under a new captain with Shakib Al Hasan taking the reins for the fifth time, and Bangladesh fans will be eager to see what’s in store for this new era of Shakib Al Hasan as skipper.
Match Details
Match: West Indies vs Bangladesh
Date: 16th June 2022
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua
There is some rain in the forecast through the course of the Test match, but the chances of rain are high around the playtime, leading to the possibility of a full day’s play during the West Indies vs Bangladesh Test.
The Antigua pitch has some uneven bounce and dryness on it. Batting first will be better as the track tends to become unpredictable with balls shooting up randomly as the Test progresses.
West Indies vs Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI
Kraigg Brathwaite(c), John Campbell, Shamarh Brooks, Nkrumah Bonner, Jermaine Blackwood, Kyle Mayers, Joshua De Silva(wk), Alzarri Joseph, Raymon Reifer, Jayden Seales, Anderson Philip
Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudal Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Monimul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Litton Das(wk), Mosadek Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain, Khaled Ahmed
Bangladesh is nearly at full strength with Mehidy Hasan being a notable absentee. For West Indies, Jason Holder has taken a break from this series and will be the only high-profile player missing out.
Shakib Al Hasan returns as captain, and this time he may be a little more prepared. He led Bangladesh to their first overseas series win in the same place over a decade ago and is now back with the job. A few months ago, his Test career and commitment were in question but now as the skipper, he will be waiting to show that he has it in him to lead the side and win games in the longer format.
Kraigg Brathwaite is one of the better but unnoticed openers going around in World Cricket at the moment. He is very consistent at the top and Bangladesh will need to do very well to move him. If they are unable to though, Brathwaite may find it easy to silently and patiently take control of the Test match.
West Indies and Bangladesh have both been pretty inconsistent in Test Cricket. With West Indies playing in their own backyard though they should be a little more confident against a transitioning Bangladesh side.
Match Prediction: West Indies will win the match.
