Bangladesh can be undone by Windies' bowlers in tour opener

T20: Zimbabwe v Pakistan
Wednesday 9am, Wednesday
First Test: West Indies v Bangladesh
Wednesday 3pm, Wednesday

Bangladesh begin their tour of the West Indies in Antigua for the first of two Test matches.

The tourists are recovering from three successive defeats in their Twenty20 series with Afghanistan and are likely to be without seam bowler Mustafizur Rahman, who is recovering from a toe injury.

The Windies head into the game following a defeat, a victory and a draw in their three-match Test series with Sri Lanka last month in which Shannon Gabriel impressed with the ball.

Gabriel took 20 wickets in the series, including a 13-wicket haul in the second match, and he can make his mark in Antigua.

Zimbabwe and Pakistan have both fallen to heavy defeats against Australia in their Twenty20 tri-series contest and the teams meet in Harare on Wednesday.

Pakistan registered an impressive 74-run victory in the recent meeting between the sides in the series and they should chalk up another convincing win.

Recommendation
S Gabriel top West Indies wicket-taker in first Test
