West Indies vs Bangladesh 2nd T20i Match Preview:-
Match: WI vs BAN T20i Match Prediction
Time: 03 Jul, 11:00 PM (IST)
Series: 2nd T20i Match
Venue: Windsor Park – Roseau, Dominica
Info:
The West Indies captain was very disappointed when the umpires called off the opening IT20 of the series and he will be determined to put on a show for the Dominica crowd on Sunday. He is our tip for West Indies’ highest run scorer in this match. Romario Shepherd took 3-21 from 3 overs on Saturday and we expect him to be West Indies’ top wicket taker in this IT20.
Shakib Al Hasan top scored for Bangladesh with 29 runs from 15 balls in the opening game. He is a strong choice for Bangladesh’s highest run scorer in this game. Mustafizur Rahman will have enjoyed putting his feet-up on Saturday and will have been encouraged by the returns of the West Indies pace bowlers. He is our pick for their top wicket taker in this fixture.
We only got to see him in action with the bat on Saturday and it was no surprise to see Shakib Al Hasan produce the most runs for Bangladesh. Irrespective of if he is on the winning side, we predict he will perform with bat and ball and expect to see him take the Player of the Match Award.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
There will again be a chance of rain interrupting the match. Expect to see plenty of cloud cover with the temperature in the high 20s throughout.
🏟️ Pitch:
There was something in the wicket for all different types of bowlers in the opening game and we expect batters to struggle with their timing again in this match. A par score will be no higher than 175.
Toss Prediction:
With the humid conditions and the pitch under covers, Nicholas Pooran chose to field first on Saturday. We predict that both captains will choose to field first in similar conditions on Sunday.

Team News:
WI Team News:
With no bowler sending down more than 3 overs on Saturday and none of the batters getting an opportunity to face a ball, it would be a big surprise if there are any changes to the West Indies side for this second IT20. Odean Smith was expensive but he should be given another opportunity in this match.
BAN Team News:
Although we did not get a chance to see how West Indies would do with the bat in the same conditions, Bangladesh’s efforts with the bat seemed under par on Saturday. There will be plenty of call from fans to make changes to the line-up but, having batted once on the pitch, it makes sense to go with the same XI in this game.

Who will win today’s match: WI vs BAN T20i Match Fantasy Team

We predict that bowlers will dominate but are backing a batter or two to stand up and be counted. Overall we expect West Indies to win this match.
Final Verdict
West Indies are favorites to beat Bangladesh
WI Key Players:
Nicholas Pooran:
Although he did not have the wicket-keeping gloves on Saturday, he still took a catch to dismiss Litton Das. He will be looking to go beyond his highest IT20 score of 70 in this game.
Romario Shepherd:
The bowling all-rounder has produced plenty of eye-catching batting in short format cricket over the last 12 months. In the first IT20 he dismissed Litton Das, Mahmudullah and Mahedi Hasan.
Obed McCoy:
It only took three balls for the imposing left-arm paceman to get a wicket on Saturday. He was dangerous throughout his 2 overs and will be again in this match.
BAN Key Players:
Litton Das:
Without the distraction of keeping wicket, we expected more than the 9 runs from 14 balls on Saturday. Das has centuries in Tests and ODIs with five half-centuries in this format.
Shakib Al Hasan:
Batting at number three, the all-rounder impressed with four boundaries, two fours and two sixes, in the first game. He has not scored an IT20 half-century since 2019 and will be keen to do so in this game.
Mustafizur Rahman:
Although they are not identical players, Rahman will have been impressed with how left-arm quick, Obed McCoy, bowled on Saturday. Rahman has taken 249 international wickets.
