Bangladesh (BAN) is all set to face the West Indies (WI) for the first T20I of the three-match series after a dominant 2-1 ODI series win. The first T20I match is set to take place at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on October 27. Fans can enjoy the live game starting from 5:30 PM IST.

Bangladesh

Litton Das returns to lead Bangladesh after a break in the first T20I with a squad almost identical to the Asia Cup 2025 one. Saif Hassan and Litton Das will be key to Bangladesh's foundation at the top, as all-rounders will be ready to take up the baton from the middle overs.

The fast-paced format will also keep an eye on Rishad Hossain and pace star Mustafizur Rahman to trouble the Caribbean batting lineup.

West Indies

The Shai Hope-led West Indies team will look to bag the T20I series opener after a poor ODI series loss. Alick Athanaze and Brandon King are expected to stabilise at the top while Roston Chase, Hope and Sherfane will be looking ot for middle-order vulnerabilities.

The pace battery, led by Shamar Joseph and Jayden Seales, will be ready to weaken Bangladesh's top order, while Gudakesh Motie will head the spin department.

BAN vs WI head-to-head overview

Bangladesh have played 19 T20I matches against each other. The contests were tied, but the Caribbeans ultimately took the cake with 9 wins, while Bengal Tigers won 8 of them. Only 2 matches ended in a no result.

Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium Chattogram pitch report

The most recent T20I encounters at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium saw moderate to high scoring contests, implying that the pitch is favourable to both batters and bowlers. With the pitch type generally offering pace and bounce early in the game, the first half sees good totals.

As the match wears down, spinners get a good grip and the pitch tends to dry down and get slower, with batters having trouble timing the ball against good spins.
