Despite the loss of ODI series, Bangladesh would look for some magic in the Test Series against West Indies in the 1st Test that sparks off at Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St Vincent.
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field. The match starts at 10 a.m. local time (7:30 p.m. India Time).
With Chris Gayle on the top, Bangladesh won’t have it easy against the hosts, given their form is only getting better. The Caribbean side also would look to boost their rankings, especially with performances that have been below par in recent times.
The live broadcasting rights of the match are with BTV in Bangladesh and ESPN in West Indies. In India, the match will be live on Star Cricket and Star Sports, while Ten Sports will telecast the match in Pakistan and Middle East.

For Bangladesh, things haven’t been easy, and their skipper Mushfiqur Rahim has talked of the same after they lost the 2nd ODI. Denesh Ramdin, the skipper for hosts, also is likely to be under pressure, given the current form of many players, even though he work with the bat was worthy of attention.
Bangladesh attack is inexperienced, and players like Gayle and Shivnarine Chanderpaul know how to use that to their side. For West Indies, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell opted for the Champions League Twenty20, and that makes space for two spinners and that’s where probably, one expects Shane Shillingford to come in.
