Bangladesh vs West Indies Team Preview & Squads
Bangladesh
Mehidy Hasan Miraz has grown into a tactical and composed leader who leads by example with both bat and ball. His ability to adapt quickly and read conditions has been crucial for Bangladesh’s ODI success at home.
Their batting relies on the stability of Tanzid Hasan, Shanto, and Towhid Hridoy, who provide structure in the top and middle order. Finishing duties fall on Nurul Hasan and Shamim Hossain, but the strike rotation in the middle overs remains an area of concern.
The spin department remains BAN’s biggest weapon, with Mehidy Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, and Rishad Hossain capable of choking runs in the middle overs. Pace responsibility will be shared between Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib, forming a balanced unit.
In the second ODI at Dhaka on October 21, 2025, BAN posted 213/7 on a sluggish pitch. Towhid Hridoy top-scored, anchoring the innings as the others struggled to push the scoring rate. West Indies matched the score exactly, finishing 213/9, taking the game to a Super Over. The visitors eventually clinched the Super Over, leveling the series and setting up a mouthwatering decider.

BAN vs WI Outfield Report
Shere Bangla National Stadium
The Sher-e-Bangla pitch in Dhaka is traditionally slow, favoring spinners and batters who can rotate strike efficiently. Early assistance for seamers fades quickly, making batting tougher as the ball gets older. A score around 250 could be a strong total if the spinners find rhythm early.
The weather in Dhaka is expected to be humid with temperatures hovering around 31°C, and mild dew is expected under lights. While no major rain is predicted, cloud cover might aid swing early on. The dew factor could play a big role in the chasing team’s favor.
The Dhaka surface has seen first-innings scores between 230-270 in recent ODIs. Teams batting first have often struggled to accelerate beyond 280, while successful chases tend to happen around the 240-250 mark. Anything above 260 could prove defendable, especially if spinners dominate the middle overs.
