WI vs BAN ODIs: West Indies and Bangladesh set to face off in 1st ODI

Shifting attention from Test to ODIs, West Indies are preparing to host Bangladesh for the first ODI of a three-match series on Sunday at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts.
Bangladesh have come a long way in ODI cricket and have emerged as a formidable force. Meanwhile, they will continue to miss the services of their regular skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, who is out due to a groin injury. In his absence, Mehidy Hasan Miraz will continue to lead the side. Bangladesh will look to their crucial players to play a crucial role in laying the foundation for Bangladesh’s win.
West Indies will rely heavily on their home advantage, having a solid record on familiar Caribbean conditions. Windies have a reputation for producing match-winning performances in the shortest format, but their recent form in ODIs has been somewhat inconsistent, still they are always dangerous when playing at home.
The West Indies’ batting lineup is packed with power hitters like Shai Hope, Shemron Hetmyer and Romario Shepherd, all of whom have the ability to turn the game around in an instant. Skipper Shai Hope, the steady anchor of the batting unit, will be expected to play a vital role at the top of the order, while Hetmyer's attacking flair will bring much-needed balance to the middle order.
