By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Bangladesh vs West Indies match. We are covering BAN vs WI 1st T20 Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20I match. The match is to be played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

Bangladesh won the ODI Series by 2-1 and will hope to continue the momentum in the T20I series as well. They defeated Windies at their home in a T20I series earlier this year and will expect to repeat their heroics. And they will field a similar squad being the only change is Mashrafe Mortaza’s absence and Shakib Al Hasan will lead the side. They will hope to take advantage of home conditions and capitalize on their momentum to defeat the reigning T20 champions.

West Indies are having a disappointing tour of Bangladesh as they have lost both Tests as well as ODI Series. They were defeated by 2-1 in the ODI Series. With the availability of Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran, S Cottrell and Kesrick Williams, They will hope to come all guns blazing in their favorite limited overs format. The form of Shai Hope will also motivate them to give a tough challenge to Bangladesh Team.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
