After a closely fought ODI series, Bangladesh and West Indies shift their focus to the shortest format as they lock horns in a three-match T20 International series, starting on October 27, 2025, at the Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium (MA Aziz Stadium) in Chattogram.
Bangladesh will be boosted by the return of captain and opening batter Litton Das to lead the side. The spin-heavy bowling attack, featuring all-rounder Mahedi Hasan and leg-spinner Rishad Hossain, is expected to be lethal on home tracks. Fast bowlers Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed provide crucial pace options. The batting lineup relies on contributions from the captain, Towhid Hridoy, and the hard-hitting Jaker Ali. Their familiarity with the slow, turning pitches of Chattogram gives them a significant edge.
The West Indies squad sees the inclusion of key T20I performers like Rovman Powell and the all-round services of Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd, which will significantly strengthen their lineup compared to the ODI side. Captain Shai Hope will anchor the batting, supported by stroke-makers like Brandon King and Sherfane Rutherford. Their bowling will rely heavily on the left-arm spin of Akeal Hosein and the pace of Jayden Seales and Holder. Their challenge will be adapting quickly to the conditions after a tough ODI series on spin-friendly pitches.
