West Indies and Bangladesh are set to clash in the first Test of the 2-game series on November 22 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. The matchup will be streamed live from 7.30 PM IST.

West Indies, led by Kraigg Brathwaite, will return to action in red ball format after almost 3 months. Pressure on the skipper will be humongous as West Indies haven’t won a Test series in almost 2 years. Moreover, senior Jason Holder has been ruled out with an injury, adding more dent to the hosts’ batting depth.

On the other hand, Bangladesh, after achieving a historic series sweep in Pakistan, went down brutally against India and South Africa. With the WTC final race out of their reach, Bangladesh will aim to finish the cycle on a high by securing an away Test series win.

Overall, the upcoming Test between the two sides, with quality pace attacks, will be a mouth-watering contest for fans to witness. Ahead of the 1st Test, let’s revisit the head-to-head stats between West Indies and Bangladesh in red ball format.
