West Indies may have the upper-hand over Bangladesh, humiliating them in a two-match Test series in last June at their own den but this time they wouldn’t get a pitch to their likings as they are on a tour here.

While they exposed Bangladesh in pacy and greenish condition, they will get a spinning track in return in this tour and who doesn’t know the Caribbean side’s vulnerability against the quality spinners! In fact they were whitewashed in India in two-match Test series, losing both of the matches inside three days.

Knowing that they haven’t had quality spinners like Bangladesh at their disposal, West Indies aimed to unsettle the hosts with their pacers, who possesses raw pace and even could move the ball in flat deck.

“Once we bowl the right lines, it could do us good. Mixing the pace would be the key for our fast bowling unit. I still think they would do quite well,” West Indies stand in captain Kraigg Brathwaite said.

“Pitches are obviously different to what we played on. Whatever we do, whether fast bowling or spin, we have to do it well. We can’t think about the past series. We have to stick to our plans, and I think we will go on top.”

From the beginning Brathwaite knew that Bangladesh wouldn’t give them the pitch to their likings and after seeing the pitch he got his prediction right.

“I saw the pitch. It is what we expected. It is a little dry. There may be a little movement in the first hour. I think it is a typical type of surface in Bangladesh,” he said.
