Bangladesh will start their tri-nation campaign today against West Indies on Dublin’s the hills cricket club.  West Indies is flying after their record breaking performance against Ireland; on the other hand Bangladesh is shattered after their defeat against Ireland Wolves.

This is the first match of Bangladesh in this tri-nation series, Bangladesh will want to start their campaign with a win today. So, there is no possibility of experimenting with the squad today. Tamim and Liton will open the innings, soumya will bat on number three, followed by Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riad. Sabbir Rahman will try to capitalize on the last overs as he will play on number seven.  

Mehedy Miraz is the only specialized spinner in the squad and the pace attack of Bangladesh will be lead by Mashrafe Mortaza, Mustafizur Rahman and Rubel Hossain.

There is a very little chance of change in the West Indians squad, as they wouldn’t want to break up their winning combination today.  There may be only one change in the Windies squad today, Fabien Allen could replace Sunil Ambris or Jonathan Carter, which is likely to be the only change in the starting XI.

Predicted  Bangladesh XI: Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Sabbir Rahman, Mehidy Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain
