Playing combination: With Shakib returning, Bangladesh’s middle-order will have more teeth with the bat. Mahmudullah remains a vital cog, while wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim and Soumya Sarkar will be a significant presence in the middle.
Liton Das and captain Tamim Iqbal are likely to open the batting inning for the team.

In BAN vs WI Dream 11 prediction, Bangladesh will rely on their spinners. The pitches in Bangladesh, like a typical sub-continent pitch, will help the spinners here, and Bangladesh have some pretty good spinners on their ranks. But West Indies’ lanky bowlers can get a bounce from any pitch and will have their say here.

Wicket-keepers: M Rahim, L Das
Batsmen: S Ambris (VC), J Mohammad, T Iqbal, Mahmuddullah
All-rounder: R Reifer, S A Hassan (C)
Bowlers: C Holder, A Joseph, R Hossain
It’s Bangladesh all the way. The Asian Lions are a tough nut to crack when they play in their familiar conditions and their task becomes a tad easier considering West Indies’ lack of depth and inexperienced. So in the BAN vs WI Dream11 today match prediction, expect BAN to win the game.
