Bangladesh are predicted to win the toss and bat first, aiming for the 300+ total our table projects. Dew and pitch details are not confirmed, so this call rests on plain Test logic: get runs on the board, then let the bowlers work on a tiring surface.
No official pitch report was available at the time of writing, so this pitch report stays cautious. The first Test produced scores of 272, 245, 142 and 170/2, which suggests runs were hard to come by and bowlers stayed in the contest throughout. Teams chasing a modest target still needed care, so expect an even fight for the first-innings advantage in Sylhet.
Temperature and dew figures are not confirmed, so treat this weather report as a watch-and-wait note. Any interruption would favour the side protecting a lead, and in a Test that is a real factor. Check conditions on match morning before settling your playing XI or fantasy lineup.
Najmul Hossain Shanto leads Bangladesh into a pivotal Test seeking redemption after their crushing Mirpur defeat, where they posted meager scores of 272 and 142. With intense scrutiny on his leadership, Shanto’s ability to quickly rally his squad will define his captaincy. Achieving a series-levelling victory would serve as a powerful statement and prove the hosts’ resilience under pressure.
Shadman Islam anchors the batting lineup alongside experienced names like Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Tanzid Hasan, and Amite Hasan. Addressing the vulnerabilities exposed by their second-innings collapse to 142 requires greater patience and discipline at the crease. Meanwhile, Mominul Haque is projected to be the team’s top scorer and hit the most sixes.
Nayeem Hasan is the key bowler and Mehidy Hasan Miraz the key all-rounder , supported by Taijul Islam, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud and Ebadot Hossain. Shoriful is predicted as top wicket-taker, and early breakthroughs would keep the hosts competitive.

Roston Chase captains West Indies and doubles as the key all-rounder, so he influences both the field and the scorecard. Fresh from an 8-wicket win, his side arrives with confidence, though a good captain knows momentum in Tests can vanish in one bad session.
Tagenarine Chanderpaul is the key batter, joined by John Campbell, Brandon King, Kavem Hodge, Justin Greaves, Joshua Da Silva, Amir Jangoo and Kevin Wickham. Campbell is the standout pick, tipped for Player of the Match, top runs and most sixes, with a predicted score of 310+.
Jomel Warrican is the key bowler and the Player of the Match in the 1st Test, backed by Shamar Joseph, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales, Shamar Springer and Joshua Bishop. Joseph is predicted as top wicket-taker, and this attack looks more rounded than the hosts’.
