Bangladesh vs West Indies Toss Prediction
Our toss prediction favours Bangladesh to call correctly and bat first. A new Mirpur wicket tends to reward a side that posts a healthy first-innings score before the surface wears and starts to turn. Dew is rarely a concern in a daytime Test, which makes batting first the sensible option, and a total of 350+ would put the visitors on the back foot.
Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur Pitch Report
Expect the Mirpur surface to give batters a fair deal on day one, particularly those willing to leave well and wait for loose deliveries. Once the match moves along, grip, turn and uneven bounce should bring the slow bowlers into the contest, which plays into the hands of Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Seales and Roach could extract some early assistance, so the opening session may well set the tone for the whole Test.
Weather Report
The supplied data did not include a forecast for this weather report, but Dhaka at the end of October is normally warm and sticky, conditions that sap the energy of fast bowlers over long spells. Dew should not matter much in a daytime Test, so heat and tiredness are bigger concerns across five days. A spell of cloud or rain could also push the contest towards a draw.

Bangladesh vs West Indies Team Preview & Squads
Bangladesh
Najmul Hossain Shanto captains a Bangladesh side that has recently shown it can shape a Test with bold decisions. Against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi, they posted 346, then declared their second innings at 372/7, setting a target of 479 that the opposition only just survived at 346/8. Shanto now has to mix that aggression with sensible caution, since this West Indies batting lineup can quickly punish a defensive field.
Experience comes from Mushfiqur Rahim, while Litton Das arrives as the Player of the Match from Abu Dhabi, where he scored 53 and 102 and held eight catches. Shadman Islam, Tanzid Hasan, Mominul Haque, Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali give the order real depth, which is why a score of around 350+ seems achievable. The question marks sit at the top, where Seales and Roach will look to find early breakthroughs.
Taijul Islam leads the spin department, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz offering both control and handy lower-order runs as the lead all-rounder. Hasan Mahmud is our pick as the top wicket-taker, with Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain and Nayeem Hasan providing further options. Anyone assembling fantasy cricket tips should look closely at the spinners.

West Indies
Roston Chase takes charge of a West Indies group looking to bounce back. Their last outing, the 2nd Test against Pakistan at Port of Spain, ended in an eight-wicket defeat after totals of 344 and 117, and that late-innings slump will still be fresh. Chase needs to keep spirits high and make sure his batters do not repeat that kind of collapse in Mirpur.
Justin Greaves is the headline batter, with John Campbell, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Brandon King, Kavem Hodge, Amir Jangoo and Kevin Wickham alongside him, and Joshua Da Silva keeping wicket. We expect Chase to finish as both the leading run-getter and the biggest six-hitter in his side. Handling turn on a wearing pitch is their real challenge.
Jayden Seales spearheads the quicks together with Kemar Roach, our pick as the top wicket-taker, and Shamar Joseph. Jomel Warrican supplies left-arm spin, while Shamar Springer gives the side balance as the main all-rounder. Early wickets from the fast men would keep West Indies in the contest, but they will need much tighter lines and lengths than they managed against Pakistan.
