As captain of the BHM, Marc Taylor has a depth of experience and a calming presence to the group. Marc is a bat we can rely on, occasionally offers his skills with the ball, and a few wise words during the game.

BHM relies on a handful of key players like Marc Taylor, Ricardo Patten, and Sandeep Goud to anchor their innings. The team lacks explosive power hitters in the middle and lower order.

Their bowling unit is spearheaded by Eugene Duff and Festus Benn, with backup from Romanie Smith and Gregory Taylor. The side has shown they can defend small totals when their bowlers execute plans well.

In their last recorded T20I, Bahamas took on Mexico in the ICC Americas Qualifier Final. Batting first, Bahamas managed just 95/9 in 20 overs. However, a disciplined bowling effort saw them bundle out Mexico for 71 in 18.2 overs, clinching a 24-run victory. The low-scoring win showed their ability to fight under pressure.
