BAN vs WI Match Prediction: 3rd ODI, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report More – Bangladesh vs West Indies ODI Series 2025 

BAN vs WI: The first two games have been very close in the ongoing series between West Indies and Bangladesh. Now, these sides will take on each other in the final game, which will decide the winner of the series. It will be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium on Thursday, starting at 1 PM IST. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details of the game.

Bangladesh Preview 

Bangladesh should have won the series, but they were guilty of making consistent errors in the second game. Drop catches, missed run-outs, and bowlers giving extra runs. They need to look at all these areas to address and head into the final game.

• Key Batters: Najmul Hossain Shanto and Soumya Sarkar played good hands and will be the ones to watch out for.
• Captaincy: Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been very good in both games. He is scoring runs and also taking wickets.
• Batting Strength: The batting at this pitch has struggled. Rishad Hossain has come out in rescue in both matches. The top order has scored runs, but they are taking too many deliveries, which is something they need to work on.
• Bowling Attack: Bangladesh have a brilliant bowling unit as per the conditions. They have gone with a spin-heavy attack, which has worked well for them. Their spinners are dominating the opposition.

West Indies Preview 

West Indies would be pumped up with the win in the last game. But they have to look at the areas where they have struggled. They have to find runs from batters. However, West Indies need to stick with the same plans that worked in their favor in the second game.

• Batting: West Indies have very strong batting, but the problem is that this pitch is very hard. They don’t have traditional batters, which can play with temperament. But if someone from the top can play a good hand, West Indies can outplay Bangladesh.
• Bowling: West Indies made history in the last game by bowling 50 overs of spin. They have bowled well in both games and just need to carry on their plans.
