Pitch and Weather Conditions
Pitch Report: Arnos Vale Ground in St. Vincent will host this crucial match. Historically, the pitch has offered a balanced contest between bat and ball, but with rain in the forecast, conditions could be tricky. The average first-innings score here is around 150-160, and teams might prefer to bowl first due to the likelihood of weather interruptions.
Weather Forecast: The weather in St. Vincent on match day is expected to be cloudy with occasional showers. Temperatures will hover around 27-28°C. Given the unpredictable weather, both teams might face interruptions during the match.

The experience of players like Shakib Al Hasan and the recent performances of Tanzid Hasan and Mahmudullah should see Bangladesh through to a comfortable victory, securing their place in the Super 8.
Prediction: Bangladesh to win.
