Mohammad Mithun

The right-hander could not trouble the scorers in the previous match. Thus, Mithun will aim to deliver better performance against West Indies.

The right-hander has been consistent for Bangladesh over the last two years. In fact, it won’t be a bad idea to promote the right-hander in the batting order.

The right-handed batsman had scored 26 runs in the previous match against England. The right-hander will like to deliver the goods.
Mohammad Saifuddin

Mohammad Saifuddin had scalped two wickets in the previous match against England. However, the fast bowler was expensive in his spell.
Mehidy Hasan

The off-spinner had also snared two wickets in the last match against the English team. Hasan is delivering the goods with both bat and ball.

The Bangladesh captain has led with aplomb as he has made the right changes at the right time. However, Mortaza will need to deliver the wickets.
Mustafizur Rahman
