WI vs BAN Weather Report And Pitch Report Of Sabina Park– 2nd Test, Bangladesh tour of West Indies 2024
Published - 30 Nov 2024, 04:49 PM
Cricket's unforgiving spotlight returns to Jamaica where West Indies and Bangladesh prepare for a second Test that could define their respective seasons.
After a crushing 201-run defeat in the series opener, Bangladesh confronts the harsh reality of their continued international struggles, while West Indies seeks to consolidate renewed momentum.
The first Test laid bare Bangladesh's systematic weaknesses after their batting lineup crumbled under sustained pace pressure. Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, and Shamar Joseph dismantled Bangladesh's top and middle order with ruthless pace bowling.
Bangladesh's batsmen averaged a poor 22.41 runs per wicket as only Jaker Ali, in the second innings, scored a decent 31, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored 45. The West Indies' bowling line-up averaged under 17 runs per wicket which was a stark contrast to how big the two teams are apart.
Bangladesh must regroup its technical approach or face another embarrassing defeat. West Indies on the other hand after their first home Test win in over two-and-a-half years will look to seal a series win.
