Pitch Report And Fantasy Impact
Shere Bangla National Stadium has a sample of 30 completed Tests. The average scores are 328 in the first innings, 308 in the second innings, 242 in the third innings and 172 in the fourth innings.
Teams have won 15 Tests after batting first. Teams have won 12 after bowling first. Three matches are not placed in either group on the venue table. So the win split is not complete.
The all-time venue record is not a match-day promise. The highest total is 730/6. The lowest total is 87 all out. The highest chase is 209/1.
The recent same-ground and same-format sample has one completed Test. Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 104 runs at this ground in May 2026. Do not treat one recent match as a full pitch trend.
The fantasy plan should cover both spin and pace. Bangladesh have several spin options in their squad. West Indies also have Jomel Warrican and Joshua Bishop. New-ball bowlers can matter before the pitch slows. Confirm the final bowling groups after the toss.

Team 1: Balanced Top-Order Base
Use this balanced build when both top orders look stable.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: Litton Das, Joshua Da Silva
BAT: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shadman Islam, John Campbell
AR: Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Roston Chase
BOWL: Jayden Seales, Jomel Warrican, Kemar Roach, Taijul Islam
Captain: Mehidy Hasan Miraz · Vice-Captain: Roston Chase
Risk: Both leaders need confirmed batting and bowling roles. This is not app-validated.
Team 2: New-Ball Seam Route
Use this build if the pitch offers early seam or the toss winner bowls first.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: Litton Das, Joshua Da Silva
BAT: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tanzid Hasan, John Campbell
AR: Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Roston Chase
BOWL: Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph, Taskin Ahmed, Taijul Islam

Use this build if the strip looks slow and Bangladesh use two specialist spinners.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: Mushfiqur Rahim
BAT: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Tagenarine Chanderpaul
AR: Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Kavem Hodge
BOWL: Hasan Mahmud, Jomel Warrican, Joshua Bishop, Taijul Islam

WK: Litton Das, Amir Jangoo
BAT: John Campbell, Brandon King, Shadman Islam
AR: Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Roston Chase, Justin Greaves
BOWL: Jayden Seales, Kemar Roach, Taskin Ahmed

View Player Names And Roles
WK: Joshua Da Silva
BAT: John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque
AR: Shamar Springer
BOWL: Taskin Ahmed, Jomel Warrican, Kemar Roach, Taijul Islam
Captain: Najmul Hossain Shanto · Vice-Captain: Shamar Springer

Use this build if Bangladesh bowl first and the pitch offers grip or early movement.
View Player Names And Roles
WK: Litton Das
BAT: Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Brandon King, Kevin Wickham
AR: Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Kavem Hodge
BOWL: Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Shamar Joseph, Nayeem Hasan
Captain: Mehidy Hasan Miraz · Vice-Captain: Shamar Joseph
Risk: It fades a Bangladesh batting anchor and depends on bowling opportunity.
BAN vs WI Dream11 Prediction Captain And Vice-Captain Choices
Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a strong all-round path. He can add value with bat and ball. His final bowling role still needs confirmation.
Roston Chase offers a similar two-skill route for West Indies. He is also the West Indies captain. His value depends on his batting place and bowling use.
Najmul Hossain Shanto is a batting-led option. He has a clear top-order path. He does not give the same bowling cover as an all-rounder.
Taijul Islam is a spin-led choice. He becomes more useful if the pitch grips. His appeal falls if Bangladesh use fewer spinners.
Justin Greaves has recent Test evidence from the Pakistan series. He can contribute in more than one phase. His exact match role is still not confirmed.
Jayden Seales is a wicket-led choice. He can matter with the new ball. His risk is lower impact if the pitch is flat.
Toss-day repair checklist:
- Remove every player left out of the XI.
- Check the wicketkeeper and app role labels.
- Check the opening batters and bowling groups.
- Recheck credits and team limits in the app.
- Keep captain and vice-captain different.
Top 3 Player Battles
Bangladesh Top Order Vs Jayden Seales And Kemar Roach
Bangladesh’s top order faces a new-ball test. Seales and Roach can attack early edges. This battle matters most if the pitch offers movement.
West Indies Openers Vs Taskin Ahmed And Hasan Mahmud
West Indies need a safe start. Taskin returned to the Bangladesh squad. Hasan Mahmud took strong wickets in the Darwin Test. Their opening spells can shape the first session.
West Indies Middle Order Vs Taijul Islam And Mehidy Hasan Miraz
Bangladesh’s spin pair can control the middle overs. West Indies need batters who can defend well. Do not treat this as a direct ball-by-ball record.
Top Players To Look Out For
Mehidy Hasan Miraz
He offers both batting and bowling paths. He also returned after illness. Check his place and bowling role at the toss.
Najmul Hossain Shanto
He is Bangladesh’s captain and a top-order batter. A long innings gives him the clearest fantasy route. His value is batting-led.
Taijul Islam
He is a key spin option for Bangladesh. The venue has a long Test history. A gripping pitch can improve his wicket path.
Justin Greaves
Greaves was Player of the Match in West Indies’ 90-run win over Pakistan. He made runs and took wickets in that Test. A repeat is not assured.
Jayden Seales
Seales gives West Indies a new-ball wicket route. He also took wickets in the recent Test series against Pakistan. His value depends on pitch help.
Kevin Wickham
Wickham received his first Test call-up. He made 67 not out in the Dhaka warm-up. He remains a high-risk option until his place and batting order are known.
Match Winner Prediction
Bangladesh have a small home-condition edge. Their spin options and recent win at this ground support that lean.
This is not a firm call. Both teams have one win and one loss in their latest completed Test series. West Indies have won four of the last five Tests, while Bangladesh won the 30 November 2024 match. The final call should wait for the XI and toss.
