Tactical Analysis

Bangladesh's Approach

Bangladesh will then depend on spin to manage the middle overs, particularly if there is turn available. With deep batting in the top order and depth in their all-rounders, they can score or chase competitive totals. The challenge would be to keep cool under pressure and not allow West Indies' big hitters to set the tempo.

West Indies' Strategy

West Indies will look to hog the powerplay with attacking batting and then deploy their middle-order finishers. In bowling, they'll look to employ pace variations and attack Bangladesh's middle order. Fielding will be an important factor—they've been inconsistent in this department in the past.
