Alzarri Joseph has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

We are moments away from the start of the game but before that, players from both sides make their way out to the middle and line up for their respective national anthems. It will start with the national anthem of St. Kitts and Nevis followed by Bangladesh's and conclude with the Rally 'Round the West Indies.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree and Curtly Ambrose analyze the pitch, noting the small boundary dimensions - 69 meters straight down the ground and 67 to 70 meters square of the wicket. They describe the surface as having a good covering of grass with a few barren patches. The pitch is hard and expected to offer some bounce, setting the stage for a balanced contest between bat and ball.

Shai Hope, the captain of West Indies says that they would have bowled first anyway. Adds that as it is an early morning start, there will be moisture and it will be a big factor but they need to exploit it well. Mentions that the England series was good but they will take one game at a time and wants to continue the momentum in this format. Says that a couple of new faces in the squad with Justin Greaves back in the ODI side and they are going with four seamers.

Mehidy Hasan, the skipper of Bangladesh says he is confident in the pitch’s potential for a high-scoring game. He emphasizes the importance of posting over 280 runs by batting longer. Reflecting on recent form, he notes their strong performances in the last few series and highlights the need to play positively against a competitive opponent. Acknowledging the absence of key senior players, Mehidy sees this as an opportunity for the younger players to step up and prove themselves. He confirms their bowling attack will feature three pacers and two spinners, aiming for a balanced approach in the series opener.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (C/WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Justin Greaves, Gudakesh Motie, Jayden Seales, Roston Chase, Alzarri Joseph.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das (WK), Afif Hossain, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan (C), Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Jaker Ali, Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana.

TOSS - The coin lands in favour of Mehidy Hasan. Bangladesh have elected to BAT first.

As Bangladesh aims to bounce back from their recent loss, the West Indies will look to build on their winning streak. With new players stepping up for both teams, this promises to be an exciting contest. The fact that there is nothing to choose between the teams with both winning 21 ODIs each makes this series even more interesting and unmissable. Stay tuned for toss and other updates.

On the other side, Bangladesh will be led by Mehidy Hasan as regular skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto sits out due to a Grade II groin strain sustained during their previous series against Afghanistan. Towhid Hridoy is also unavailable for the series due to a similar injury. The loss of Shanto was felt during the third ODI against Afghanistan, where Bangladesh succumbed to a five-wicket defeat. Afghanistan’s Azmatullah Omarzai played a pivotal role in the result with an all-round performance, taking four wickets and scoring 70 runs to guide his team to a series-clinching victory.

West Indies enter the series with momentum, having clinched a 2-1 victory against England in their last ODI outing. A commanding eight-wicket win in the decisive match highlighted their form, with Brandon King scoring an unbeaten 102 to earn Player of the Match honors. Matthew Forde’s consistent bowling displays secured him the Player of the Series title, though his absence in this series will leave big shoes to fill.

West Indies and Bangladesh are set to transition into ODI cricket as they face off in a three-match series. A warm welcome to everyone who is joining us for the first ODI live from Warner Park in St. Kitts. The West Indies squad have suffered a setback with injuries ruling out Shamar Joseph and Matthew Forde. In their place, the young talents Marquino Mindley and Jediah Blades have been called up, both of whom delivered impressive performances in the recent Super50 domestic tournament.
