Bangladesh Vs West Indies, 1st T20I Toss Update: WI Batting First - Check Playing XIs

Bangladesh and West Indies will be clashing against each other in the first T20I of the three-match series on October 27 at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram.

Coming off a gripping ODI series, Bangladesh heads into the first T20I against the West Indies with momentum backing them. They won the three-match ODI series 2–1, sealing it with a dominant 179-run victory in the decider.

Their spin trio, especially Rishad Hossain, played a pivotal role, while batsmen like Saif Hassan and Soumya Sarkar stitched together a powerful opening partnership. That strong showing gives Bangladesh a psychological edge as they shift into the faster-paced T20 formatT

he MA Aziz Stadium (or whichever ground is hosting the match) is likely to offer a balanced pitch, promising for both batters and bowlers. Given how spin dominated the ODIs, the hosts might continue relying on their spin arsenal, but T20 demands a more aggressive approach. The home team will want their quicks to step up in the powerplay, while their spinners will be key in the middle overs.
