West Indies vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Match Prediction

Preview

West Indies vs Bangladesh: As expected, Bangladesh’s best was seen in the ODIs. They finally have a win on this tour, and the win comes with a strong showing, indicating that they are definitely a team to watch out for in the ODI format. In a rain-shortened game, Bangladesh stuck to its strength to choke the West Indies. Bangladesh in general is known to stick to its strengths irrespective of the conditions. Additionally, they are using their spinners with a lot of confidence and that is shown in the performance of the bowling attack.

West Indies has some work ahead in the ODI format. Ideally, the format for them is seen as an extension of T20Is, were they keep blasting away. West Indies though, needs to work on their attacking mindset and strike a balance between attack and defense with a longer innings in mind. The batting line-up is pretty deep though, and but the number of dots and manner of how they lose wickets is a concern.

Key Players

Mehidy Hasan

Mehidy Hasan continues to choke oppositions with his spin. There is some assistance in the track. Additionally, West Indies aren’t the best at playing spin, making Mehidy Hasan a bigger threat. There are a fair amount of left-handers in the line-up as well which leaves Mehidy Hasan as a threat in the next game too.

Shai Hope

Shai Hope is one of West Indies’ better players when playing spin. With the track turning and Mehidy Hasan hitting the right spots, he will have to find a way to bat long. He got out the first ball in the first game, which set the West Indies on a downward spiral. Furthermore, If Shai Hope can manage to get back to his anchor role, it will ease the job for West Indies, allowing their hitters to come into their own as the innings go on.

West Indies vs Bangladesh Match Tips

Bangladesh is likely to come into the game full of confidence. They blew past the West Indies with ease and are looking very comfortable. With their bowling attack and clarity while batting, the second ODI should be in their hands as well, unless the West Indies batters find their range.

Match Prediction: Bangladesh will win the match.
