A bowling-friendly track is on the cards in St Lucia with a lot of extra bounce and movement available off the surface. The batters will have to spend time in the middle before shifting gears. As the Test progresses, the spinners could have a say in the outcome of the game. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss and post a big first-innings total.
Today’s WI vs BAN Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Liton Das: Liton Das was unable to score many runs in the middle order in the first Test. However, he has been in brilliant form in this format over the last few series. Given Liton's ability against pace and spin, he should be a fine pick in your WI vs BAN Dream11 fantasy team.
Batters
John Campbell: John Campbell scored a fine fifty in the previous game, seeing West Indies through to the finish line in the fourth innings. He is an attacking batter who loves to take on the bowlers from the word go. With some form behind him as well, he is one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounders
Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib Al Hasan scored twin fifties in the previous game as his teammates struggled to get going against a relentless West Indian bowling attack. While his batting ability holds him in good stead, Shakib's bowling exploits will be key in Gros Islet. Given his record in this format, Shakib is a must-have in your WI vs BAN Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowlers
Jayden Seales: Jayden Seales has become an integral part of the West Indies bowling attack, swinging the new ball both ways and generating discomforting bounce with a smooth yet lethal action. Seales has impressed in his short career, picking up 30 wickets at an average of 23.67. With the conditions playing into his hands, Seales should take a few wickets in this game.
