What happened in 1st and 2nd T20
1st T20I – October 27, 2025, Chattogram
- West Indies opted to bat first and score 165/3 in 20 overs.
- Bangladesh’s response was 149 off 19.4 overs, falling short of the target by 16 runs.
- West Indies sauntered their way down the crease; a powerful finish helped them cross the 160. Bangladesh’s bowlers showed their skill, however, the death overs proved to be their undoing.
2nd T20I – October 29 2025, Chattogram
- West Indies once more batted first, scoring 149/9 in their 20 overs.
- Bangladesh pleasingly made 135/8 in their 20 overs, losing thus by 14 runs.
- Notable performances: Kentish bowling from West Indies (e.g., Akeal Hosein’s 3/22) kept Bangladesh in check. Bangladesh’s middle order offered resistance (like Tanzid Hasan’s 61), but couldn’t bridge the gap.
What to Expect
The West Indies, capitalizing on the victory of their opening match, approached this second T20I with self-assurance. Bangladesh attempted to recover on the ground where they are most comfortable, though the guests were resolute. The game was characterized by moments of high tension, and in the end the West Indies won by a margin of 14 runs.
The Chattogram pitch is characterized by its early assistance to fast bowlers and later on to spinners as the game goes on. Bangladesh would have planned to take advantage of the home conditions, the players Rishad Hossain and Taskin Ahmed were anticipated to create breakthroughs.
On the other hand, the West Indies were counting on their hard hitters (particularly Rovman Powell) and the versatile abilities of Jason Holder. The coin toss might have significantly influenced the process of choosing which team got the early edge.
With the series standing at 2–0 in favour of the West Indies, the third T20I becomes a do-or-die situation for the Bangladesh team to avoid whitewash
