The stage is set for a riveting battle as hosts Bangladesh will take on the West Indies in the first Test match on Wednesday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.

The two sides last collided in a Test match in 2024, when the Tigers toured the West Indies, and it ended 1:1. However, a lot has changed since then, as the hosts are fighting for a place in the WTC final, as they are currently placed fourth in the table.

On the other hand, the West Indies are second last as they aim to showcase an improved performance against the home team. Ahead of the first Test, we take a look at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium pitch report and Dhaka’s weather update.

  • The Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium pitch report for BAN Vs WI, 1st Test reveals that the average 1st innings score has been 328, and spinners have dominated the proceedings at this wicket.
  • As the history suggests, in the last 10 matches, spinners have taken 58% of the wickets, while pacers have bagged the rest (42%). The trend is expected to continue in the upcoming Test as well. However, with rain predictions going around, the surface could be of more help for the pacers in the initial few days.
  • The Sher-e-Bangla Stadium pitch for the Bangladesh vs West Indies 1st Test will be helpful for the pacers in the first couple of sessions, but as the game progresses and cracks started to open up, spinners will come into effect.
  • Chasing could be a tricky task, especially against the spinners on Day 5; hence, the toss-winning captain would ideally like to bat first.

The Dhaka weather for BAN Vs WI, 1st Test match indicates rain on almost all five days. The first three days could be heavily marred by rain, with precipitation chances of 66%, 65%, and 55%, respectively.

The average temperature will range between 31 and 32 degrees, and the two teams can breathe a sigh of relief from Day 4 onwards as the chances of rain will decrease to just 25%.

Hence, rain could play a huge role in deciding the outcome of the Bangladesh Vs West Indies, 1st T20I match in Dhaka.

Conclusion

The Sher-e-Bangla Stadium pitch will be a traditional Bangladesh surface, with help for the seamers in the initial few sessions before it starts to spin.

From Day 3 onwards, the cracks could start to open, and that would bring the spinners into play.

On the other hand, the Dhaka weather could play a spoiler as the first three days of the Test could be marred by rain before things start to improve from Day 4 onwards.
