Match 23: Bangladesh vs West Indies, Sharjah
Fantasy XI: Evin Lewis (capt), Mohammad Naim, Chris Gayle, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (vice-capt), Mahmudullah, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed, Akeal Hosein
Captain: Evin Lewis
He has been comfortable against slow left-arm bowlers since 2020, scoring 155 runs at a strike rate of 170.32 against them with just three dismissals. So expect him to tackle Shakib Al Hasan and Nasum Ahmed well.
Vice-captain: Mushfiqur Rahim
He has been Bangladesh's best batter since the start of the Super 12s phase, recording scores of 29 and 57*.
Mohammad Naim: He has two scores of 60 or more in his last four outings in the ongoing World Cup.
Chris Gayle: Among all active players, he has scored the most runs in T20 World Cups with 945 in 30 games at an average of 37.80 and a strike rate of 144.93 - and he is due for a big one.
Shakib Al Hasan: He is the leading wicket-taker in this tournament with 11 wickets, and has 122 runs too in five games. He has also taken 19 wickets in ten games against West Indies.
Mahmudullah: Against West Indies, he has scored 232 runs at an average of 46.40 and taken six wickets at an average of 14.83 in ten T20I outings.
Kieron Pollard: In his last seven innings in Sharjah, he has scored 221 runs at a strike rate of 171.32 with 22 sixes.
Dwayne Bravo: He recently became the most prolific bowler for West Indies in T20 World Cups, with 25 wickets in 24 innings.
Mustafizur Rahman: He has taken 13 wickets in just six outings against West Indies, striking once in every 8.3 deliveries.
Nasum Ahmed: He was ESPNcricinfo's MVP in Bangladesh's last game for his all-round contribution: a nine-ball 19* and 1 for 26.
Akeal Hosein: He has been among the wickets in both games so far in the tournament, and has taken a couple of catches too.
