PREVIEW
Bangladesh and West Indies will lock horns in a three-match One-Day International series, starting on Saturday at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
The series comes close on the heels of Bangladesh’s humiliating 0-3 series defeat against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi earlier this month. The Bangladeshi batting lineup, in particular, was in dire straits after being bundled out for 109 and 93 in the last two matches of the series.
West Indies, on the other hand, beat Pakistan 2-1 at home in its last ODI series in August, and will hope to continue the winning momentum. Skipper Shai Hope was prolific in that series, scoring 207 runs in three innings, including a fifty and a century in the series decider.
The last time these two teams faced off in the 50-over format was in December 2024, when West Indies swept the three-match series 3-0 at home.
However, before that series, Bangladesh had defeated the Windies in 11 consecutive ODIs. The Mehidy Hasan Miraz-led side will hope to turn the tide in its favour once again.
