BAN vs WI Match Analysis
Chattogram gears up for a power-packed evening as Bangladesh hosts West Indies in the 1st T20I on October 27, 2025, starting at 6:00 PM local time. Under lights at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, both teams will look to set the tone for the series.
Bangladesh comes into this match riding on recent confidence, having beaten Afghanistan convincingly in Sharjah. Their young core looks hungry, with a balanced blend of tactical bowling and inventive batting.
The West Indies, meanwhile, arrive with swagger and six-hitting muscle. Their recent thrashing of Nepal showcased the kind of ruthless form their top order can produce. But in subcontinental conditions, their adaptability to spin will be the key to success.
Bangladesh vs West Indies Team Preview & Squads
Bangladesh
Litton Das leads this BAN side with the kind of aggression that modern T20 demands. His wicketkeeping sharpness and top-order flair make him a key influence in setting the early tempo. Known for fearless strokeplay,
BAN’s batting lineup is deep and flexible, with Towhid Hridoy and Tanzid Hasan offering flair and fluency in the middle. Jaker Ali and Mahedi Hasan provide utility finishing roles, while Nurul Hasan’s presence ensures depth even at No. 7 or 8.
Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman remain Bangladesh’s key pace enforcers—different in style but deadly in tandem. The spin unit of Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, and Mahedi Hasan offers both control and wicket-taking threats on Chattogram’s turning tracks. Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Sakib round out a young but varied bowling attack.
In their last outing against Afghanistan in Sharjah (Oct 5, 2025), Bangladesh produced a measured chase. Afghanistan posted 143/9, with Taskin and Nasum bowling disciplined spells. In response, Bangladesh reached 144/4 in just 18 overs, thanks to Towhid Hridoy’s composed finish and Litton Das’s brisk start. The 6-wicket win with 12 balls remaining gave the Tigers a confidence boost ahead of the Caribbean challenge.

BAN vs WI Outfield Report
Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram
The Chattogram surface typically starts slow but rewards timing and placement early on. Spinners come into play as the match progresses, especially under lights when the ball grips more. Teams winning the toss may prefer to bat first and put pressure on the scoreboard runs.
The evening is expected to be warm and slightly humid, around 28°C, with a gentle sea breeze from the Bay of Bengal. Dew could be a deciding factor in the second innings, influencing team strategies on whether to chase or defend.
Historically, the average first-innings score in Chattogram T20Is hovers between 155–165. Anything above 175 becomes a strong total, while chasing teams often struggle if early wickets fall. A score around 140–145 could still be defendable with quality spin.
