WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis
West Indies have sealed the series with a 2-0 lead after beating Bangladesh in the second one-day international at the Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts. The third and final match of this series will be played at the same venue.
Though Bangladesh suffered a collapse in the last outing after they were put to bat first, the pitch has looked great for the batters. West Indies chased down 230 quite comfortably in the 2nd ODI while they won by 5 wickets chasing a 295-run target in the opening match.
TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
West Indies will be confident coming into this game after winning back-to-back matches. Shai Hope will be delighted with the performances of his top-order batters who stepped up and delivered match-winning knocks in the second ODI.
Brandon King and Evin Lewis are among the experienced players in this squad and are known for their quick-scoring abilities in the white-ball format. The two will be key players to watch out for in the top order.
Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford were the stars of the game for West Indies in the opening match as the two built a 99-run partnership for the 4th wicket. After Hope was dismissed Rutherford and Justin Greaves added another 95 runs for the 5th wicket.
Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh have struggled with the ball in this series which is not usual for a team with such talented players in the bowling department. They are known for bowling variety and their spinners have never let them down.
However, it seems this venue hasnβt been ideal for the bowlers and has given the visitors a tough time. Shoriful Islam and Tanzid Hasan Shakib are the key pacers in this side who need to find their rhythm.
The young right-arm fast bowler Nahid Rana has looked very promising and is someone to watch out for. Heβs played just 3 ODIs in his career so far but looks pretty decent and can deliver an impactful spell.
Many experienced batters in the side should be able to lead the comeback from Bangladesh in this game. Soumya Sarkar and Litton Das are the key players in the top order expected to deliver a big start.
Weather Conditions
It will be partly cloudy in the morning in Basseterre but as the match progresses, it will clear out and be sunny with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. There should be no rain interruptions on the match day though there is a rain forecast later in the week.
WI vs BAN Pitch Report
It is a balanced pitch at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts with a slight edge in the favor of bowlers. The average 1st innings total in the last 10 ODIs has come down to 184 runs. However, the pitch looked great for batting in the last two games and we expect some big hitting and competitive totals in this match.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams batting first have won 20 of the 32 ODIs played here. That is probably why Bangladesh chose to bat first in the opening game. However, the recent trends show teams chasing a target quite comfortably. Moreover, Bangladesh arenβt in great shape with the bat and the hosts would look to bowl first and restrict them to a low total.
