WI vs BAN 3rd ODI Preview: West Indies

West Indies snapped its 11-match losing streak against Bangladesh by winning the first ODI with a five-wicket margin. Sherfane Rutherford was the star of the chase, as his 80-ball 113 helped West Indies mow down Bangladesh’s 294-run total with a couple of overs to spare. West Indies also won the second ODI match by seven wickets in 36.5 overs to seal the series. Fast bowler Jayden Seales bagged the ‘Player of the Match’ award for his four-wicket haul while Brandon King cracked 82 from just 76 balls in the chase.

WI vs BAN 3rd ODI Preview: Bangladesh

Shortly after losing the ODI series to Afghanistan in the UAE, the Bangladesh team also lost the first two ODIs against West Indies in the Caribbean. Currently on a three-game losing streak, Bangladesh needs to attain some much-needed winning momentum ahead of next year’s 2025 Champions Trophy. In the absence of regular skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, his deputy Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be banking on his star wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das to find some form in the impending dead-rubber. Senior batter Mahmudullah and fast bowler Taskin Ahmed also need to come up clutch in a bid to avoid a series whitewash to the hosts.

The Warner Park in St Kitts is generally considered to be a high-scoring venue, as the average first innings total here in the past six ODI matches has amounted to 294. The chasing team ended up winning each of the two matches at the stadium this series, and the aforementioned fact might prompt captains winning the toss to field first.
