WI vs BAN Dream11 Prediction 1st Test Live Score, Pitch Report, Player Stats, West Indies vs Bangladesh Dream11 Team for Today’s Match

WI vs BAN Dream11 Prediction: West Indies and Bangladesh will be face to face in the 1st test, which will be played from 16th of June (Thursday) at Sir VV Richards in Antigua. This will be the first match of Bangladesh’s Tour to West Indies. The host will look to get back their breath after being clean swept (3-0) by Pakistan in the ODI series. Bangladesh is also being considered as an unsettled team in the test. They also suffered a 10 wicket handy loss against Sri Lanka at their own home.  However, the presence of Shakib Al Hasan will provide a cushion to the Bangladesh team. The “duke ball” contest is going to be interesting as it will be a clash between the similar climes.

WI vs BAN Pitch Report

Since this will be the first match of the series, the pitch on the Caribbean Island can be expected to provide a good pace and bounce to the fast bowlers, as usual. The new duke ball can prove to be lethal for each of its first spells. However, the pitch will get slow as the game reaches the third day. Sir VIV Richard Stadium has been in the circles of controversy due to its sandy ground. The outfield is considered to be one of the slowest in the world and suffered a year ban for the same in 2009. So the batsmen need to run between the wickets more rather than watching the ball sail across the fences.
