Bangladesh vs West Indies Team Preview & Squads
Bangladesh
Mehidy Hasan Miraz continues to mature as a leader, showing both tactical sharpness and calm authority. His use of bowlers and ability to read conditions perfectly highlighted his cricket intelligence in the last match.
BAN’s batting depth is its quiet strength, featuring players like Towhid Hridoy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Tanzid Hasan. Although consistency remains a concern, the middle order’s ability to build partnerships often anchors the innings. The lower order, with Miraz and Taskin, can also contribute valuable runs.
The Tigers’ bowling unit is well-balanced, with a blend of pace and spin suited for Dhaka’s surface. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman provide the strike power upfront, while Miraz and Rishad Hossain maintain pressure through the middle overs.
In the 1st ODI at Dhaka on October 18, 2025, BAN scored 207 runs batting first on a tricky surface. Despite losing early wickets, crucial runs from the middle order ensured a defendable total. Their bowlers then dismantled West Indies for just 133 in 39 overs. Bangladesh won convincingly by 74 runs to go 1-0 up in the series.

West Indies
Shai Hope, the experienced wicketkeeper-batter, shoulders a heavy responsibility as captain and main run-scorer. His calm temperament and ability to play spin make him vital in subcontinent conditions.
WI batting lineup has flair but lacks consistency in ODI conditions like Dhaka. Brandon King and Keacy Carty have the talent to provide stability, while Sherfane Rutherford adds explosive firepower. But without strong partnerships at the top, their chase in the first ODI never looked convincing.
The West Indian bowling attack, led by Jayden Seales and Shamar Joseph, showed glimpses of potential but struggled with control. Gudakesh Motie remains their key weapon on spin-friendly tracks, supported by Roston Chase’s off-spin.
In the first ODI at Dhaka on October 18, 2025, WI failed to chase 208 against Bangladesh. They crumbled for 133 in 39 overs, with none of the batters converting their starts. The spin trio of Miraz, Rishad, and Tanvir Islam exposed their weakness against slow bowling. West Indies lost by 74 runs, putting themselves under early pressure in the series.

BAN vs WI Outfield Report
Shere Bangla National Stadium
The Dhaka pitch is expected to remain on the slower side, assisting spinners and bowlers who vary their pace. Batters will need patience to build an innings, as run-scoring won’t be easy against tight bowling. Anything above 250 could be a winning total.
Weather conditions for the match look promising, with minimal rain chances. The temperature is likely to hover around 30°C during the afternoon, with moderate humidity affecting bowlers later in the day. The dew factor could come into play in the second innings.
Historically, the Sher-e-Bangla pitch has seen totals ranging between 220 and 280 in ODIs. Teams batting first often have an edge, as chasing under lights can be tricky. A first-innings score of 260+ would be considered competitive, while anything below 200 could be tough to defend.
