Bangladesh host West Indies at Mirpur on Wednesday in a first Test that could bring Mushfiqur Rahim a personal landmark, since he sits 118 runs short of 1,000 against the visitors.
Standing in his way, as he has on and off since 2009, is Kemar Roach, who has removed him only three times despite all those years of trying.
Bangladesh comes licking their wounds. Two defeats in the UAE tri-series, no win in the one-off Test against Afghanistan and the exit of batting coach Mohammad Ashraful have left the camp short of calm. West Indies, unbeaten in Test series this year, spent time in Chennai preparing for these conditions while their white-ball colleagues toured India. Bangladesh have taken just one series against them, in 2018

Bangladesh vs West Indies prediction: Who will win?
West Indies can spring a surprise at Mirpur. Bangladesh comes after two tri-series defeats, no win against Afghanistan and the sacking of a batting coach, with Litton Das still a fitness doubt. West Indies are unbeaten in Test series this year, prepared at a camp in Chennai and have won four of the last five meetings.
Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph can strike early, and one big first innings near the 328 ground average would put Bangladesh’s spinners under real pressure.
TSN Prediction: West Indies to win.
