Pitch: 17 - Dark coloured pitch which the groundsman predicts will favour the batsman throughout. However there appears to be moisture just below the surface and any damage done by the heavy footed fast bowlers may well offer some help to the spinners later in the match.
Weather: 9 - Rain forecast
Day 1 starting pitch: 1 - Very good batting wicket

The West Indies President's XI contains a number of talented players, but the bowling attack contains some weaknesses expected to keep the Bangladeshi batsmen in the game.
Bangladesh are lead by offspinning allrounder Naimur Rahman, and will be hopeful of competing well against less than Test strength opposition.
