BAN vs WI 1st T20I Match: Bangladesh and West Indies will face off in the first T20I of the ongoing limited-overs series on Monday, 27th at 5:30 PM IST. The two teams recently faced off in the ODI series, where the hosts emerged victorious by a 2-1 margin.

Bangladesh's recent T20 International performance has been impressive, including a clean sweep against Afghanistan. With a resounding victory in the ODI series, the hosts are in a good position. Spin bowling is expected to remain their main weapon, with the in-form Rishad Hussain expected to take the majority of wickets. The return of captain Liton Das will strengthen their batting. However, their top order will have to adapt to the fast pace of T20 cricket. The fast bowling trio of Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman will play a crucial role in the powerplay and death overs.

The West Indies team is better suited to the T20 format, featuring powerful batsmen like Rovman Powell and all-rounders like Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd. Captain Shai Hope's impressive performance in ODIs, where he scored an unbeaten half-century in a difficult chase, makes him a key player. Their strategy will involve playing aggressive strokes to challenge the Bangladeshi spinners. The bowling attack, led by spinners Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie and featuring Holder's variety, will have to be at their best to restrict Bangladesh on their home turf.
