Match Preview
Bangladesh enters the match under pressure after a poor run in recent ODI cricket, including a 3-0 series loss to Afghanistan and a disappointing Champions Trophy 2025 campaign. The team is working on resolving batting issues with new inclusions like Soumya Sarkar and Mahidul Islam, while relying on experienced bowlers like Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed to exploit home conditions. Skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz will aim to rally the squad for a winning performance on familiar turf.
West Indies come into the series after a whitewash in the Test series against India but look to bounce back in the limited-overs format. Led by Shai Hope, the Windies bring a mix of youth and experience, with promising batsmen such as Brandon King and Alick Athanaze and spinners like Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase who are expected to thrive on the spin-friendly Dhaka pitch.
Team Analysis
-
Bangladesh: The middle order has been a concern, with inconsistent performances from several batsmen. The bowling attack remains a strength, especially on a spin-friendly pitch, with bowlers like Rishad Hossain and Taskin Ahmed expected to play key roles.
-
West Indies: The team balances youthful firepower and spin options. The batting lineup banks on Shai Hope’s experience and form along with emerging players looking to cement their places. The success of spinners Motie and Chase will be pivotal in containing Bangladesh’s batsmen.
