Rains have stayed away for the last few days the skies have been clear sunny aiding the World Cup 2019 matches. Four abandoned matches and one DLS result is not a good sign for any tournament, leave alone the World Cup. The next match is between an explosive West Indies and a very capable Bangladesh team. The weather must cooperate nevertheless. Here is all you need to read for both the teams before picking your Fantain XI.

Team News:

West Indies

One win, 2 losses and one no result sums up the tournament for West Indies so far. The fight against Australia shows what The Windies are indeed capable of. A very energetic performance that could be the key to the team’s appearance in the Semi-Finals. A very balanced contribution by the pacers was also seen.

While the Windies would be favourites in a match against Bangladesh, one would not take the Asian team for granted.

Possible XI:

Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Ashley Nurse, Carlos Brathwaite, Jason Holder (c), Evin Lewis, Sheldon Cottrell, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope (wk), Oshane Thomas

Bangladesh

A fate similar to that of West Indies. One win, 2 losses and one no result sums up their tournament. Their win against South Africa surprised most of the cricketing world. Players like Shakib Al Hasan and Soumya Sarkar have proven to be capable of taking the team far and beyond anyone can expect.

The team’s top bowlers are Mohammad Saifuddin and Mehidy Hasan.

Possible XI:

Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Mohammad Mithun, Soumya Sarkar, Mosaddek Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Mehidy Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin

Top Picks

Shakib Al Hasan: with 259 points on the Fantain Fantasy, Shakib is a treat to have on the team because of his contribution with both the bat and the ball

Jason Holder and Chris Gayle: Both batsmen are power hitters along with Andre Russell.

Mushfiqur Rahim: This wicketkeeper-batsman played a big role in the team’s win against South Africa. A few more innings like that and Bangladesh could very much book a berth in the semifinals.
