Farveez Maharoof is pitchside for the pitch report, and Maharoof notes that the Mirpur pitch has undergone a significant transformation, shedding its grass cover for a slower surface that is poised to benefit spinners. Farveez added that to capitalize on the conditions, Bangladesh should aim for a robust total, with a score of 225-230 likely securing victory. The pitch's slow nature may trouble batters, particularly during the middle overs, underscoring the importance of a strong Bangladesh batting performance.

Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz has expressed his preference for batting first, citing home advantage and confidence in the surface. He acknowledged ongoing discussions about improving top-order batting, emphasizing that each player must understand their role. Miraz is pushing for better performances from his team, recognizing that struggles are part of the game. He outlined his squad's composition, featuring two pacers, three spinners, and seven batters, showcasing a balanced approach.

West Indies captain Shai Hope elected to bowl first, aiming to strike early and put pressure on Bangladesh. Hope emphasized the importance of their preparation between the Test series against India and this ODI series, acknowledging the challenging schedule. He stressed the need for quick adaptation and smart decision-making in international cricket, highlighting the importance of starting the series on a strong note. Hope sees this series as a continuation of their successful Caribbean tour, where they won the series against Pakistan and ended a long wait for a win against Bangladesh. This momentum has given the entire team a confidence boost, and they're looking to build on it. Despite being in foreign conditions, Hope is optimistic about getting a positive start, thanks to their balanced squad featuring three seam and spin options, which he believes has them well-prepared.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Brandon King, Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (C)(WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Khary Pierre, Jayden Seales.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Mehidy Hasan Miraz (C), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Saif Hassan, Nurul Hasan (WK), Tawhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Soumya Sarkar, Mahidul Islam Ankon.

TOSS - West Indies have won the coin flip and they have decided to BOWL first.

West Indies, led by Shai Hope, were outplayed by India in Tests but showed promise in the second Test. They're boosted by the return of Gudakesh Motie, who'll provide crucial spin support. Shamar Joseph is back in the mix, and Jayden Seales has been impressive across formats. The Windies welcome Ackeem Auguste into the squad, and he'll likely earn his ODI cap in Dhaka. This series is crucial for both teams, ranked 9th and 10th in ODI rankings, as they aim for an automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup. Stay tuned for toss and team updates.

Bangladesh's concerns remain centered around their batting lineup, which has been inconsistent. Saif Hassan has shown promise, but the rest of the top order needs to step up. Mehidy Hasan Miraz will continue to lead the side, and they'll be looking to experienced players to make an impact. Litton Das remains unavailable due to injury.

Hello and welcome to the three-match ODI series between Bangladesh and West Indies, kicking off at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. The hosts are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 whitewash against Afghanistan in the UAE, while the visitors are seeking to build on their recent Test series performance against India.

... MATCHDAY ...

‘The sea hath its pearls, the heaven hath its stars, but my heart… my heart hath its cricket.’ If Heinrich Heine ever watched a cricket match, he’d have probably said that. Because this, right here, is where chaos meets charm, rhythm meets raw power, and Mirpur’s humidity meets Caribbean flair. The West Indies’ white-ball tour of Bangladesh kicks off in style, and it’s more than just another series, as we are up for one thrilling ride. Three ODIs, three T20Is, and six days of pure cricket madness await us. Oh, how beautifully unpredictable this tour already feels. Bangladesh, bruised from a 3-0 ODI series drubbing against Afghanistan, now return home, desperate to hit reset, while the Windies, fresh from losing a Test series against India, are hunting for revival in a different format. Both teams, both hurt, both hungry. It’s like two tigers pacing in the same cage - who roars first? Who rules longer? That would be the burning question. Let’s know a bit about Bangladesh, shall we? The Tigers are back on their home turf - the fortress of Shere Bangla, where the crowd chants louder than the DJ. But here’s the million-taka question - can they bounce back after that Afghanistan embarrassment? The answer? They need and have to do better! Because Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s men have a point to prove. The captain himself has been in excellent touch with both bat and ball, but the real concern is - where’s the firepower from the top order? Shanto, Tanzid, Tawhid - time to stop flirting with potential and start dating consistency! And look who’s back - Soumya Sarkar. He’s the kind of player who might get out early one day and score a blazing 80 the next, so no one knows which version will show up. Meanwhile, the inclusion of Mahidul Islam Ankon adds freshness to a lineup that badly needed it. Bangladesh’s bowling? Still dangerous! Mustafizur and Taskin can make the ball whisper secrets, while Rishad Hossain and Miraz can spin stories the Windies might not enjoy reading. But can they hold their nerve when the big shots come flying? That’s the real exam. Now let’s fly across the sea to the West Indies - a side that’s always fun, fierce, and fantastically unpredictable! Yes, they lost to India in the Tests, but white-ball cricket is their party zone. And what a fun mix this squad has. Shai Hope, the poet of patience, Brandon King, the master of the Caribbean cut, and Sherfane Rutherford, the storm you don’t see coming. Add to that the rising names - Ackeem Auguste and Khary Pierre with his some spin therapy. The Windies may not always plan perfectly, but when they click, oh boy, they’re unstoppable! Their bowling looks spicy, too. Alzarri Joseph is back, who missed the test series against India, and there is Jayden Seales, who brings the heat, while Motie and Chase spin webs thicker than Dhaka traffic. And don’t forget Shamar Joseph, back from injury, hungry to make an impact. Daren Sammy’s side wants this series badly - not just to win matches, but to build momentum ahead of next year’s big tournaments. And if there’s one thing we know about the Windies, it’s that they play their best cricket when no one expects them to. So, what do both sides want from this series? Bangladesh - confidence, stability, and to prove that Mirpur magic still exists. The West Indies - momentum, clarity, and maybe some bragging rights after that India heartbreak. Both teams are in a phase of transition, both eyeing the bigger picture. But will youth deliver? Will experience guide them? Or will pressure choke dreams? Only time will tell. The pitch at Shere Bangla, meanwhile, has its own personality. Sluggish early on, then batting-friendly as the match progresses - perfect for spinners, tricky for pacers, and a playground for batters once they survive the first few overs. Expect 260-280 to be the sweet spot, unless one of the Windies power-hitters decides to go full ‘CPL mode.' And dew - oh yes, the sneaky villain, might just show up to spice things up under the Mirpur lights. So, who has the upper hand? Slightly, Bangladesh, as they would be playing at home, and you should never underestimate them there. But the West Indies? They can surprise anyone with their power and freshness. One team rebuilding its identity, the other defending its fortress. Expect exciting and close matches in this series!
