WI vs BAN 2024, T20I Series: Broadcast, live streaming details – When and Where to watch in India, West Indies, UK, Bangladesh & other countries

Following an intense cricketing encounter in the Caribbean, West Indies and Bangladesh are set to battle it out in a three-match T20I series. The journey so far has been eventful, with the teams locking horns first in a two-match Test series that concluded in a 1-1 deadlock. West Indies then dominated in the subsequent three-match ODI series, clinching a clean sweep with a 3-0 victory, setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying T20I showdown.

West Indies aim to maintain momentum

Form: The West Indies have shown a resurgence in form, particularly in the ODIs, where they managed to overpower Bangladesh comprehensively. Their batting line-up, led by the likes of Nicholas Pooran, and explosive hitters like Rovman Powell, has been in fine touch. The bowling attack, featuring the pace of Alzarri Joseph and the spin of Akeal Hosein, has been equally effective, showcasing versatility and depth.

Strategy: The West Indies will aim to continue their aggressive style, leveraging their home conditions to put pressure on Bangladesh from the outset. Their focus will be on maintaining the momentum from the ODIs into the shorter format, where they have historically been formidable.

Bangladesh look for a redemption

Form: After a mixed bag in Tests and a disappointing ODI series, Bangladesh find themselves in a position where they need to regroup and recalibrate for the T20Is. Their batting has been inconsistent, with only sporadic performances from players like Litton Das. The bowling, particularly the spin department with Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud in the pace attack, needs to step up.

Strategy: Bangladesh will look to exploit any complacency from the West Indies by playing smart cricket. They might focus on a more aggressive approach in the powerplays and use their spinners to control the middle overs, aiming to set or chase competitive totals.
