West Indies and Bangladesh will resume their three-match series with the second ODI on Tuesday, December 10 at Warner Park in St Kitts. Under the leadership of Shai Hope, the West Indies won the series-opener to snap their 11-match losing streak against Bangladesh.

West Indies

West Indies chased down Bangladesh’s 294-6 with five wickets and more than two overs to spare on December 8 to take a 1-0 lead in the series. They also pipped England at home by a 2-1 margin last month. Sherfane Rutherford, captain Shai Hope and Keacy Carty have been in prolific touch with the bat off late. Bowlers Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie have also done a commendable job for the West Indies in the past few games.

Bangladesh

After defeating Sri Lanka 2-1 earlier this year at home, Bangladesh lost to Afghanistan in the UAE with a similar margin in November. In the absence of regular skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, the Bangladesh team has now lost their series-opener to West Indies despite hauling a competitive total upfront. In a bid to enforce a decider, the visitors need to win the impending second ODI at the same St Kitts venue. In-form batters like Soumya Sarkar and interim skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz need to sustain their prolific run with the bat, while bowlers Shoriful Islam and Taskin Ahmed also need to step up to the occasion.
