Bangladesh (BAN) will lock horns with the West Indies (WI) in the second game of the three-match series at Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chattogram on Wednesday, October 29.
West Indies took a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series after defeating Bangladesh by 16 runs in the opening game at Chattogram.

Despite a solid start from openers Alick Athanaze (34) and Brandon King (33), West Indies were struggling to accelerate until Hope and Powell’s late cameo, adding 51 runs in the final three overs.
Chasing 166, Bangladesh lost four wickets inside the power play. Jayden Seales (3/32) and Jason Holder (3/31) shared six between them, while Akeal Hosein (2/22) provided breakthroughs in the first six overs. Tanzim Hasan Sakib (33) and Nasum Ahmed (20) offered some fight, adding 40 runs for the seventh wicket, but their efforts weren’t enough as Bangladesh were bowled out for 149 in 19.4 overs.

BAN vs WI — Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter — Shai Hope
West Indies’ skipper Shai Hope could be the best batter in the second ODI against Bangladesh. Hope was in fine form in the opener as he smashed an unbeaten 46. In his 28-ball innings, he hit one boundary and four sixes. The right-handed batter will be riding high on confidence and look to carry the same form in this game.
West Indies’ veteran pacer Jason Holder could be the best bowler in the upcoming contest. Holding in his quota of four overs conceded 31 runs but took three wickets. The lanky fast bowler will once again be looking to exploit the conditions and help his team extend their lead in the series.
