West Indies and Bangladesh will play in the 23rd match of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. We will cover WI vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
West Indies:
West Indies have lost two matches consecutively, are almost out of the race for the Semi-Finals, and are at the bottom of Group 1’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup points table.
Evin Lewis batted brilliantly, scoring fifty from 35 balls, but Lendl Simmons played one of the slowest knocks in the history of the T20 World Cup. In the middle-order, Pollard batted decently, but once again, the remaining batsmen failed to perform.
Even the bowlers’ performance degraded in the last match as only Akeal Hosein managed to pick up a wicket. Everyone expected that West Indies was one of the strongest teams with so many power hitters and all-rounders, but they have disappointed everyone.
The Caribbean team needs to formulate a proper strategy and try to win the remaining matches.
Bangladesh:
Bangladesh has also lost two matches and is at the fifth position on Group 1’s ICC T20 World Cup 2021 points table. It only gets more challenging for them in the upcoming matches.
Litton Das has been in poor form throughout the tournament, and Naim failed in the last match. The crucial performer of the team, Shakib, hasn’t scored much in the previous two games. Mushfiqur Rahim and skipper Mahmudullah have scored runs consistently in the middle-order.
The bowlers’ performance has degraded in the last two matches. Shoriful Islam and Nasum Ahmed picked up a wicket each. The experienced players, Shakib and Mustafizur Rahman, went wicketless.
Bangladesh is most likely to be eliminated from the race for the Semi-Finals.
