TEAMS PREVIEW
Bangladesh Preview
West Indies head into the first Test looking to end a difficult WTC campaign with a strong finish. They have won only two of their 12 Tests in the current cycle, losing eight and drawing two, leaving them eighth in the nine-team standings with a points percentage of 20.83. Their campaign included a 3–0 home series defeat against Australia and a 2–0 loss in India before they secured a 1–0 home series victory against Sri Lanka. They subsequently drew 1–1 with Pakistan.
West Indies' chances of reaching the WTC final are out of reach given their position and the limited number of matches remaining. The Bangladesh series is their final assignment of the current cycle, making it an opportunity to improve their record, build confidence and assess players for the next Test campaign. Captain Roston Chase will be expected to provide direction with both bat and ball.
Shai Hope has been West Indies' leading run-scorer in the current WTC cycle, with 792 runs, while fast bowler Shamar Joseph leads their wicket-taking charts with 35 wickets. Hope recently scored four centuries on the India tour but the red-ball series would be a different task. West Indies have won 7 Test matches in Bangladesh but suffered a last defeat by an innings. They played out a draw in the warm-up game where they conceded 371 runs in the first innings.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI:
Tagenarine Chanderpaul, John Campbell, Brandon King, Kavem Hodge, Roston Chase (c), Joshua Da Silva (wk), Justin Greaves, Kevin Wickham, Jomel Warrican, Kemar Roach, Shamar Joseph
West Indies Preview
Bangladesh will enter the opening Test with renewed confidence after making an encouraging start to their WTC 2025–27 campaign. They are currently fourth in the standings, with three wins, two defeats and one draw from six matches, giving them a points percentage of 55.56. After losing their opening series against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh bounced back with a 2–0 home series sweep against Pakistan and then drew 1–1 with Australia away from home.
Bangladesh's performance in Australia was a significant boost to their campaign. Their historic victory during the two-Test series demonstrated their ability to compete against a leading Test side away from home. Carrying that confidence into home conditions will be important as they begin a crucial run of fixtures.
Bangladesh's batters will also be familiar with the conditions. Their recent home success against Pakistan provides a useful reference point as they look to make the most of familiar conditions. Najmul Hossain Shanto has been Bangladesh's leading run-scorer in the current WTC cycle, accumulating 647 runs. Taijul Islam leads the team's wicket-taking charts with 24 wickets. Mehidy Hasan Miraz will offer further support with his spin bowling and all-round ability, while Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das add experience and batting depth.
West Indies Predicted Playing XI:
Shadman Islam, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud

High Turn
The surface at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka is a challenging wicket. Like we saw in the previous Tests here, batting in 4th innings is pretty challenging. If you capitalise your chances, you can reach highs. Spinners will take all the assistance in the match. In the last five matches at this ground, the average first batting score in the Test match is 310. It is a decent batting surface where batsmen need to play sensibly.
Score prediction:
If West Indies bat first - 265-280 runs
If Bangladesh bat first - 290-310 runs
Toss: To Bat
In the overall 30 Test matches on this surface, chasing sides won 12 games and batting first sides won 15. Anything above 300 in the first innings would be a good score. The lowest total successfully defended in a Test match at this venue is 213 runs, highlighting how challenging batting can become as the match progresses. Spinners are likely to play an important role, particularly in the fourth innings.
Toss Prediction: West Indies to win the coin toss.
BAN vs WI
Winning Prediction
Bangladesh enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are the better red-ball side at home. The Tigers will also keep the WTC Final in mind as they will have two more Test matches against England. An undefeated home season will increase their chances. Both teams would eye to add a win in the first Test to improve their position in the WTC table.
Bangladesh to win.
