Hello and Welcome to our preview for Windies vs Bangladesh ODI match. We are covering BAN vs WI Dream11 Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the first ODI. The match is to be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka.
Hosts Bangladesh thrashed Windies in the Test series by 2-0. The Bangladesh spinners did not give any breathing space to the Windies batsmen and wrapped up their batting lineup cheaply. We now move into the limited overs leg as we start with the ODIs. Three T20Is will follow them.
Two teams engaged in a practice 50-over match. Windies batted first and received contributions from all their major batsmen to post the total of 331/8 in 50 overs. Standouts were Shai Hope with 81 from 84 and Roston Chase from 65 off 51 balls.
Their bowlers were bashed and only Chase escaped the punishment. Windies lost the practice match but they will earn confidence from the batting effort. In the Indian tour, they had tied and won a match against India, so they can fancy their chances against Bangladesh as well.
Bangladesh is a force to reckon with in the white-ball cricket. The 50-over format has been their best department as proven in the recently concluded Asia Cup in UAE. Bangladesh reached the final and lost on the last ball against India. Playing at home makes them stronger. The return of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan adds to their confidence.
