West Indies have won the toss and have opted to bat

Litton Das: 

Not much of training the last 2 weeks for me, but I am 100 percent fit for this match. Looks a good wicket and I do not mind batting second, that is what most teams do in BPL here. We have 3 seamers, 2 spinners and 6 batters in our side.

Shai Hope: 

We are gonna bat first. Looks a little bit dry, and we want to try to get the maximum out of it as a batting group. We want to start the series on a good note and there is always belief in the group. We want to win every single game, we know it is not possible but as long as we are giving our 100 percent, that will keep us in good stead.

@Narper

Much better balance team .... West Indies winning...

Athanaze and Brandon King are at the crease.

Athanaze is on strike.

Nasum Ahmed will open the attack

@Narper

Hope doh like or doh want Jangoo on his team,looks like that to me.on the selection, he got 7 bowlers to knock out mighty Bangladesh

The wicket for this first T20I is slow

3.2

Taskin Ahmed to Athanaze, 2 runs, just lands beyond the two fielders running back from mid-wicket. Taskin Ahmed is not happy with both Nurul and Nasum. Full on middle, heaved over mid-wicket and it's off the bottom of the bat, stays in the air a long while and lands just beyond the hands, no dive from the fielders

3.4

4

Taskin Ahmed to Athanaze, FOUR, smashed for four. A short of length delivery on off, Athanaze makes room and cuts late, beats the diving backward point to his right, past Rishad's outstretched right hand
