West Indies had been completely dominant over Bangladesh in recent weeks until Sunday’s game, when they faltered. In this format, the hosts have struggled against strong opposition, but they have the talent to recover.
Bangladesh has won three One-Day Internationals in the last year, defeating South Africa, the West Indies, and Zimbabwe. They are at ease in this format and will be confident of going 2-0 up in the series.

West Indies vs Bangladesh
West Indies Team News:
Gudakesh Motie, a 27-year-old left-arm spinner, made his ODI debut in the series opener and impressed with figures of 1-18 from nine overs. He was perhaps one of the only bright spots for the home team, as no one else stood out. There will be calls for changes, but we believe the hosts will stick with their starting lineup.
West Indies Squad
Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope (wk), Shamarh Brooks, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran (c), Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Anderson Phillip, Jayden Seales, Keemo Paul, Keacy Carty, Alzarri Josephs
Players to watch out for:
Shai Hope
Top players are unaffected by poor scores, and we expect Hope to be the same after being dismissed on the first ball of the first ODI. In this format, he has a 50.63 average.
Shamarh Brooks
After impressing in recent international appearances, the top order batter led the way for the hosts on Sunday, scoring 33 runs off 66 balls.
Akeal Hosein
The spinner went wicketless in the final T20I but did dismiss Litton Das in the series opener. In nine of his last ten international appearances, he has taken at least one wicket.
Possible Playing XI:
Shai Hope (wk), Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (c), Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Anderson Phillip, Jayden Seales, Gudakesh Motie
West Indies Team Form
The hosts have now lost four consecutive ODIs, with their last victory coming in early June against the Netherlands.
Bangladesh Team News:
Nasum Ahmed, a slow left-arm orthodox spinner, made his ODI debut on Sunday after 22 T20I appearances. Despite not taking a wicket, he will almost certainly keep his spot after conceding only 16 runs in eight overs, including three maidens. We don’t anticipate any changes for The Tigers in this game.
Bangladesh Squad
Tamim Iqbal (c), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mehidy Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed, Anamul Haque, Taijul Islam, Mosaddek Hossain, Ebadot Hossain
Players to watch out for:
Litton Das
The opener, who arrived in the Caribbean in fine form, has had a very disappointing tour. He has three single-digit innings in his last four and will be desperate to make amends.
Tamim Iqbal
The left-handed batter made his One-Day International debut in February 2007. In his first appearance on this tour, he hit four fours and one six on Sunday.
Mahedi Hasan
The bowling all-rounder took the most wickets for his team in the first ODI. Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, and Rovman Powell were all fired.
Possible Playing XI:
Tamim Iqbal (c), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mahmudullah, Nurul Hasan (wk), Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed
Bangladesh Team Form
The Tigers have now won three of their last four One-Day Internationals (ODIs). They have also won six of their last seven away One-Day Internationals.
West Indies vs Bangladesh Top Team Batsmen:
Our batting recommendations for the West Indies are Shai Hope, Kyle Mayers, and Shamarh Brooks. Brooks has a 43.58 average in 13 innings in this format.
Bangladesh’s batsmen are Tamim Iqbal, Litton Das, and Mahmudullah. On Sunday, Mahmudullah hit the highest score on both sides and has a best ODI score of 128 not out.
West Indies vs Bangladesh Top Team Bowlers:
With the ball, we support West Indies’ Jayden Seales, Akeal Hosein, and Anderson Phillip. Since his debut at this level in June 2021, Seales has taken 39 international wickets.
Mustafizur Rahman, Mahedi Hasan, and Taskin Ahmed are our bowling picks for Bangladesh. In the first ODI, Rahman took the crucial wicket of Shai Hope with his first delivery.
West Indies vs Bangladesh Head to Head

West Indies vs Bangladesh Toss Prediction
In the first ODI, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first. Given that this game is being played at the same location, we anticipate that both teams will want to bat second.
West Indies vs Bangladesh Pitch Report
On Sunday, bowlers had the upper hand in both innings, with only West Indies spinners picking up wickets during Bangladesh’s innings. With a par score of 250-270, we expect batters to perform better in this game.
During this game, scattered thunderstorms are expected, with the threat diminishing as the game progresses. Throughout the day, expect high humidity.
West Indies vs Bangladesh Prediction
As the weather on Sunday, the game was shortened, and there is a good chance that this match will not be a 50-over affair as well. Tamim Iqbal makes a huge difference in Bangladesh, and his presence at the top of the order gives them a lot of confidence. We expect Bangladesh to defeat the West Indies in this ODI.
