West Indies vs Bangladesh Second ODI FAQs

The home team has shown the right mix of aggression and caution to defeat the visitors on Sunday. Can they continue their good form? I am backing Bangladesh here because they usually get the better of the Islanders.

Head to Head

West Indies and Bangladesh have played each other in 45 ODIs so far, with the Islanders winning 22 and Bangladesh winning 21. The remaining two matches ended without a result.

The first match played at the same venue on Sunday saw the hosts record a five-wicket win. Bangladesh scored 294 for 6 batting first at the weekend. Captain Mehidy Hasan top-scored with 74 but took 101 balls. The chase was mastered by Sherfane Rutherford’s 113.

West Indies Form

The Windies are fresh off a 2-1 series win over England and continued the gains with another win in the first match. On an easy-paced surface, the Windies were the consistent side with both bat and ball.

Romario Shepherd managed 3 for 51, and Alzarri Joseph took two wickets, as the hosts restricted Bangladesh to 294 for 6. It was a tough pace for the chase, but the home team managed to ace it.

Shai Hope’s 86 and Rutherford (113) kept the chase up, while Justin Greaves (41*) gave the finishing touches.

West Indies Team News

There aren’t many worries for the home team from Sunday, and that could mean an unchanged side.

Bangladesh Form

Bangladesh had a few injuries to worry about, as Mehidy Hasan took temporary leadership of the visitors. He was at pains, though, to explain his slow-paced knock of 74 off 101 balls.

There were fifties for Tanzid Hasan and Mahmudullah too, but their total proved to be short in the final analysis.

Five bowlers took one wicket each, but no one looked penetrative enough to lead their charge. Both Taskin Ahmed and Mehidy failed to keep the runs under check.

Bangladesh Team News

Bowling could come under scrutiny here for the visitors, as Hasan Mahmud may come in place of Nahid Rana to provide stability.

Verdict

West Indies v Bangladesh - 2nd ODI

The West Indies had a better game in the first match and proved that they can be a handful in these conditions. That shouldn’t rule Bangladesh out, because the Tigers usually find their way out against the Windies. I am putting my neck out to back Bangladesh on the win count here. Keep an eye on Shai Hope, though, as the Windies captain could look to top the batting charts with another fifty.
