Match Preview
Bangladesh are coming off an (3-0) ODI series loss against Afghanistan, where they were completely outdone by the spinners of Afghanistan. So far in 2025, Bangladesh lost seven of the eight ODI matches and their only win came against Sri Lanka by 16 runs.
Mehidy Hasan Mirza will lead the squad, where Bangladesh are expected to make some changes to their playing XI. Soumya Sarkar might feature ahead of Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hasan with the spin bowling option he provides is an automatic pick. Tanvir Islam and Rishad Hossain are the two spin bowling options alongside their skipper.
West Indies led by Shai Hope are coming on the back of a historic series win over Pakistan. This is a crucial series for both the teams as every game counts as part of the World Cricket League qualifiers for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Brandon King, Keacy Carty, Alick Athanaze form the top order, while Roston Chase and Amir Jangoo provide some solidity in the middle order.
All eyes will be on Jayden Seales who bowled a magnificent spell the last time he played an ODI match. Romario Shepherd and Shamar Joseph are the other primary seam bowling options. In the spin department Roston Chase and Gudakesh Motie are their go to options.
