WI vs BAN 1st Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Bangladesh will tour West Indies for a full tour. The tour begins with the Test series, which gets underway on June 16 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North-South Antigua at 7:30 PM IST.
West Indies is coming off a pretty ordinary tour of Pakistan where they lost all their six white-ball matches. However, in their home conditions, they are a formidable side. The last time they played a Test series at home, they defeated England 1-0. They have a decent squad at their disposal. Kraig Brathwaite, John Campbell. Nkrumah Bonner and Jermaine Blackwood will be the batters the team will rest their hopes on. Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales are two good pacers but West Indies look a bowler short in their squad.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, last played against Sri Lanka in Lanka and lost the series 1-0. They are not known as good tourists but with players like Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mominul Haq, Liton Das and a plethora of quality spinners, they will definitely fancy their chances.

WI Key Players
- Kraigg Brathwaite – The best West Indies batter for this format. When West Indies hosted England, he was the top scorer of the series with 341 runs in 3 games.
- Nkrumah Bonner – He is still pretty young in his career but has shown enough promise. Bonner has an average of 42 in 12 Tests and has been in good form of late. He will be keen to have a good game.
- Kemar Roach - Roach has been a great sevant of West Indies cricket and has done well for the team in almost every series. He can cause a lot of damage with the new ball given his extra pace.

🏆 West Indies vs Bangladesh Prediction
West Indies being the hosts will start as favourites. The team did well against England and won the series 1-0. Even though the bowling looks slightly weak, the batters have been in good form. If they can negate the Bangladesh spinners’ threat, they are very well capable of posting a big score and bat Bangladesh out of the game. The visitors are an experienced team and have surprised teams in the past away from home. They beat New Zealand in New Zealand just a few series ago thus they cannot be taken lightly. We think it’s going to be a close series, but the home advantage does go to West Indies, who are favourites to win.
