Bangladesh Preview 

Bangladesh are coming off a poor show in the UAE against Afghanistan in the three-match ODI series. They were completely outplayed in both departments and lost the last game by 200 runs. They will be confident heading into this series because they have a good record at home.

• Key Batters: Towhid Hridoy and Saif Hassan are two batters who showed good form in recent matches.
• Captaincy: Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been the best ODI player. He takes wickets, scores runs, and does everything that his team wants.
• Batting Strength: The batting is an issue for Bangladesh, as they failed in all three games against Bangladesh. In three ODIs, they scored only around 400 runs. So, they will surely be under pressure.
• Bowling Attack: Bangladesh have a slight weakness, as they are not taking wickets with the new ball and leaking runs in the death overs. But they have excellent spinners according to these conditions in Dhaka.

West Indies Preview 

West Indies also don’t have good recent memories. They have lost consistent series across formats. But they will fancy their chances, as Bangladesh have also not done well either. West Indies have good players and spinners who can do well here.

• Batting: Shai Hope, Brandon King, Sherfane Rutherford, and Roston Chase are experienced batters. They have played against and in Bangladesh and will take less time to adjust to the conditions than other West Indian batters.
• Bowling: Gudakesh Motie will lead the spin attack. There are also a few other good spinners. Shamar Joseph is back, and he will be bowling at good speed. Overall, the West Indian bowling unit looks very good for these conditions.
