Match 23 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 time table has West Indies (WI) taking on Bangladesh (BAN) in the first of the two games taking place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Friday.
Both the West Indies and Bangladesh have no points from two games and are on the brink of elimination. While Bangladesh have shown glimpses of what they are capable of doing in this format, the Windies were completely outplayed by South Africa and England. Despite the form they are in, West Indies are the clear favorites to win today's encounter. However, Bangladesh have a knack for pulling off upsets, making for an intriguing contest in Sharjah.

Match Details
WI vs BAN, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 Match 23, Super 12 Group 1
Date and Time: 29th October 2021, 3:30 PM IST
Venue: Sharjah Cricket Ground, Sharjah
Pitch Report
A good batting track is expected at the Sharjah Cricket Ground with some turn and movement on offer for the bowlers as well. The batters will look to capitalize on the field restrictions early on, with runscoring being relatively easier against the new ball. However, the pacers will rely on hard lengths and off-pace deliveries to get something off the track. The spinners will also come into play in the middle overs with ample turn available. Both teams will look to bat first under the scorching Sharjah heat, with 150-160 being par at the venue.
Today’s WI vs BAN Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nicholas Pooran: Although Nicholas Pooran has been in woeful form of late, he is still regarded as a valuable asset to the Windies set-up. Capable of scoring quick runs in the middle overs, Pooran's exploits will be key for the West Indies and should earn him a place in your WI vs BAN Dream11 fantasy team ahead of Nurul Hasan, who is expected to bat in the lower-middle order.
Batter
Mohammad Naim: Mohammad Naim's ability to convert starts into big ones has already had an impact for Bangladesh, with the southpaw scoring two fifties so far. Naim will be keen to make a sizeable contribution at the top of the order against the Windies.
All-rounder
Dwayne Bravo: Dwayne Bravo has flattered to deceive in the T20 World Cup, failing to pick up any wickets. Although he has been economical with the ball, Bravo hasn't enforced proceedings in the middle overs, one of the many reasons for the Windies' poor start to the tournament. With the pitches being slightly on the slower side, one can bank on Bravo to come good in this WI vs BAN encounter.
Bowler
Mustafizur Rahman: Although Mustafizur Rahman has blown hot and cold in the tournament, his cutters have proven to be a handful in UAE conditions. The left-armer can be backed to come good against a side that may struggle against his variations, making him a must-have in your WI vs BAN Dream11 fantasy team.
