Bangladesh will take on West Indies in the second and final Test of the series from November 5 to 9 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet. The visitors arrive with a commanding 1-0 lead after securing an eight-wicket victory in the opening Test at Mirpur. Consequently, West Indies will look to complete a series triumph, while Bangladesh must deliver a strong response on home soil to force a 1-1 result. Najmul Hossain Shanto will captain Bangladesh, whereas Roston Chase will lead the West Indies side. The match will begin at 9:00 AM IST.
West Indies showcased their superiority in the opening Test through disciplined spin bowling and a well-balanced batting performance. Bangladesh posted 272 in their first innings, powered by Shadman Islam’s impressive 105 off 234 deliveries, while Towhid Hridoy contributed 42 from 86 balls. In response, West Indies scored 245, with Tagenarine Chanderpaul making 56 off 184 deliveries, John Campbell adding 54 from 78 balls and Justin Greaves contributing 46. Although Bangladesh secured a narrow 27-run first-innings lead, their batting unit faltered in the second innings and managed only 142. Nayeem Hasan provided some resistance with 52 off 91 balls. However, Jomel Warrican proved to be the standout performer, claiming five wickets for 53 in the first innings and four for 63 in the second to finish with nine wickets in the match. Roston Chase also delivered a decisive spell, taking five wickets for 36 runs. Chasing 170, West Indies comfortably reached 170/2 in 35.1 overs, with Brandon King remaining unbeaten on 81 off 115 balls. John Campbell added 49 from 55 deliveries, while Kavem Hodge finished unbeaten on 31.
Bangladesh must strengthen their middle-order batting if they hope to challenge the visitors, particularly against West Indies’ effective spin attack. Shadman Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim will be central to their batting plans. Meanwhile, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam and Nayeem Hasan will shoulder much of the bowling responsibility.
West Indies, on the other hand, will draw confidence from their dominant opening performance, with Brandon King, John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Justin Greaves offering considerable batting depth. The Sylhet surface could increasingly favour spin as the match progresses, making patience, shot selection and the ability to negotiate turn particularly important. Overall, West Indies hold the upper hand after their convincing first-Test victory, especially with Warrican and Chase in excellent form. Nevertheless, Bangladesh will be determined to use home conditions to produce a much-improved performance and level the series.
