The second and final Test between Bangladesh and West Indies will commence in Dhaka tomorrow. Bangladesh won the first Test in Chittagong by 64 runs and will look to clinch their first ever Test series against a non-Zimbabwe side at home.

The spin trio of Shakib al Hasan, Taijul Islam, and Nayeem Hasan will be the keys for the hosts as Dhaka will probably be a spin friendly track and in batting Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim are the trump cards. On the other hand, West Indies need to play a great brand of cricket to level the series. Their top order batsmen were pretty poor in the first Test and couldn't even reach into double digits. Captain Kraigg Braithwaite and Shai Hope need to score big runs.

4 - Number of Test hundreds Mominul Haque has scored in 2018 - the joint-most by any batsman. Virat Kohli too has scored 4 Test hundreds this year.

6 - Taijul Islam needs 6 more wickets to complete 100 Test wickets. He will become the third Bangladeshi bowler to achieve this milestone.

40 - Taijul Islam has taken 40 wickets at an average of 23.45 in just 6 Tests in 2018 - the fourth most in 2018 and needs 7 more wickets to become leading wicket-taker in Tests in 2018. 

50 - Kemar Roach will become the 33rd player to appear in 50 or more Tests for the West Indies. He has taken 164 wickets at an average of 28.59 in 49 Tests so far. 

3992 - Mushfiqur Rahim (3992 runs) needs 8 more runs to become the second Bangladeshi player after Tamim Iqbal (4049 runs) to score 4000 Test runs and if he scores at least 58 runs then will also become leading run scorer for Bangladesh in Test cricket.
