West Indies vs Bangladesh 1st ODI Match Prediction

Preview

West Indies vs Bangladesh: Bangladesh are back in what is probably their best format. The T20Is were rather one-sided but the ODIs may see a closer fight. The 50 over format is one in which Bangladesh has a lot more success in, having recently won a series in South Africa as well. They will come in with a lot of confidence despite the way the T20 series has gone.

West Indies will also be high on confidence after their players did well in the shortest format. They will now be put to test though. They will have to prove that they can play in their style for longer periods, and if they do that the West Indies will definitely be massive threats in the upcoming game.

Key Players

Tamim Iqbal

Tamim Iqbal sat out of the T20Is, continuing his break from the shortest format, but is now back to lead in the ODIs. He is a vital player, with the ability to change games early in the innings. His starts are very important for Bangladesh, and if he can get a solid start, Bangaladesh will race ahead in the contest.

Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran was brilliant in the last T20I. He has shown maturity during the series and later explosiveness and is in pretty good form. With his maturity likely to be needed in the longer format, Pooran’s game awareness will be on display. Additionally, Pooran’s new skill could come into play. He is now a handy bowler as well after taking a four-wicket haul against Pakistan recently. Whether he uses his bowling or not is up to him, but it definitely is an option now.

West Indies vs Bangladesh Match Tips

West Indies dominated the Test and T20 format, but it is going to be tough for them to control the 50-over format in the same manner. Bangladesh beat West Indies in their last five encounters in ODI Cricket, and are very good in the format. With Bangladesh in the form in their favorite format they are surely going to start as favorites.

Match Prediction: Bangladesh will win the match.
