Bangladesh probable XI to avoid a whitewash

Bangladesh, accustomed to a streak of success, suddenly seems to have hit a roadblock. After winning four consecutive T20 series, the Tigers have lost their rhythm against the West Indies. Defeats in the first two matches of the series have already cost them the trophy. Now, the only goal in the final match is to avoid the humiliation of a whitewash.

There could be new faces in the playing XI for the last match. Up to three changes are expected. Parvez Hossain Emon, Sheikh Mehedi Hasan, and Shoriful Islam are waiting for their chance to take the field. The team management may test them in this final game.

A change in the opening pair is highly likely. Due to consistent failures, Shamim Patwari might lose his spot, making way for Emon. In the spin attack, all-rounder Sheikh Mehedi could replace either Nasum Ahmed or Rishad Hossain. In the pace unit, experienced Mustafizur Rahman might be rested, with young Shoriful Islam stepping in.

With only four matches left before the T20 World Cup, the team management aims to use this match not just for performance but also to test new combinations.

Bangladesh’s probable playing XI:

• Tanzid Hasan Tamim
• Parvez Hossain Emon
• Saif Hasan
• Liton Das
• Towhid Hridoy
• Zakir Ali Anik
• Sheikh Mehedi Hasan
• Nasum Ahmed
• Tanzim Hasan Sakib
• Shoriful Islam
• Taskin Ahmed
