Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh have not had the best of games in their recent ODIs, and they now have a chance to rewrite their current history. They suffered a 3-0 series loss to Afghanistan in their last outing, which has contributed to their poor run since the start of this year, including their performance at the Champions Trophy 2025. With the support of their home hands, they should bounce back and take the lead in this series.
Key Players: Mehidy Hassan Miraz, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Soumya Sarker, Mohammed Saif Hasan

West Indies Preview
The West Indies enter this game with the hope of bouncing back to winning ways after their recent whitewash by India in a two-match Test series. Despite this awful performance, they will be encouraged by their aspiration to get well prepared ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, and this visit to Bangladesh must not be wasted on poor performance. So, they are ready to do damage to the hosts.
