BAN vs WI Dream11 Team Prediction for 2nd T20: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Bangladesh vs West Indies match. We are covering BAN vs WI 2nd T20 Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20I match. The match is to be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.

Bangladesh wiped away Windies in both the Test matches and ODIs. However, they were in for a rude awakening as the visitors crushed them in the opening T20I of the series. The home side has this final chance to stage a comeback in the decisive encounter of the 20-over affair.

The home side will have to put behind its frustrating batting effort from the first T20I match. The pace bowlers, Sheldon Cottrell and Oshane Thomas, broke through the Bangla defense. Liton Das, Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar and Mushfique Rahim all returned with a single digit score. Only Shakib Al Hasan kept fighting with a knock of 61. Cottrell picked up four wickets while Keemo Paul grabbed two.

Chasing 130 runs to win, Windies batting lineup went berserk. Shai Hope blasted from the second over itself and was in a murderous mood. He smashed Mehidy Hasan for three sixes and a four. He next brought up fifty in just 17 balls. After Hope’s dismissal, Keemo Paul struck a breezy 28 from 14 balls to get the win.

Team News:

Bangladesh:

They have declared 14-man squad for the T20I series.

Shakib Al Hasan has a bit of pain but he is expected to play.

Bangladesh employed as many as three fast bowlers in Abu Hider, Mohammad Saifuddin and Mustafizur Rahman. M Saifuddin is expected to make way for the spinner, Nazmul Islam. Rubel Hossain can also replace Abu Hider.

Despite the failures, Bangladesh has no option but to persist with the same batting lineup. They can try to strengthen it by adding Mohammad Mithun in place of Ariful.

Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das will open the innings. Soumya Sarkar will be the number three.

Shakib, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah handle the middle order. Mehidy Hasan will be the leading spinner.

West Indies:

They have announced the 15-man squad for the T20I series.

Evin Lewis and Shai Hope will continue as the opening pair after the stunning game. Nicholas Pooran will be the floater.

Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell have the middle-order responsibility.

C Brathwaite and Keemo Paul are the seaming all-rounder while Fabian Allen is a spin option. According to the pitch, WI may opt for Khary Pierre in place of any pacer.

Oshane Thomas and Sheldon Cottrell will be the pace battery.

Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib-Al-Hasan (c), Mahmudullah, Mohammad Mithun/Ariful Hoque, Mehidy Hasan, Nazmul Islam/Mohammad Saifuddin, Abu Hider/Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman.
