Match Preview

Bangladesh will take on West Indies in the 2nd of the three-match ODI series at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka on Friday. Bangladesh scripted a convincing victory in the 1st ODI by 6 wickets and the home side is all set to win the 2nd ODI and take the series with one game still left. The team looks more balanced with the return of Shakib Al Hasan to the International Cricket and have increased the chances of winning the series.

Tamim Iqbal has taken over the captaincy and has done a good job so far. They wouldn’t want to take the West Indies side lightly and perform to their strengths. On the other hand, the West Indies board have sent an inexperienced squad and almost all the players are touring the Sub-Continent for the first team. It will be a good exposure for them to express themselves.

With 7 players making a debut in the series opener, the team looked fragile and handed Bangladesh an easy win. Kyle Mayers batted well for his 40 from 56 balls and he is capable of performing well in the next 2 matches. West Indies are expected to give a tough fight in the 2nd ODI, having said that Bangladesh is likely to win this match.
