Bangladesh vs West Indies Match Preview:

Bangladesh batsmen had a good outing in the 1st Test. All the batsmen, barring Tamim Iqbal, got starts. The middle-order contributing in both innings will be the biggest takeaway from the previous game for the home team. Captain Mominul Haque scoring a century on a wearing pitch will give him immense confidence for the second test. The absence of Shakib Al Hasan will be tough to fill considering Bangladesh doesn't really have an all-rounder on the bench for this series.

Mehidy Hasan has been in great form in this series. After a successful limited-overs series, he scored a century in the first innings, took eight wickets in the match. He will be the key player for Bangladesh in the second test. 

West Indies batsmen will be confident coming into the test after a historic chase on a day 5 turning pitch earlier this week. The batting looked good from the first innings itself with Kraigg Braithwaite giving a strong start and the middle order responding well. Kyle Mayers and Nkrumah Bonner took the team home in the second innings with a brilliant partnership. 

The bowlers did a good job in the first test. Jomel Warrican had a decent game with the ball taking seven wickets in the match. Rahkeem Cornwall contributed well with his spin. West Indies are likely to play the same XI in the second test. 

Bangladesh were thumped with a historic chase by West Indies in the first. In the second test, Bangladesh will have to come with a much better plan to make sure they win the test not just draw.
