Mehidy Hasan Miraz and his men have a lot to prove in this series. The side lost the last one against Afghanistan 0-3 and earned a lot of criticism. Their batting lineup performed poorly in the series and needs to find form. Miraz expects a strong comeback from his players to win and set the tone for the rest of the series.
Saif Hassan and Soumay Sarker have struggled in recent games, and the team needs them to lay a strong platform at the top. Najmul Hossain Shanto must anchor the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Towhid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The side will expect runs in the lower middle order from Nurul Hasan and Rishad Hossain.
Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman are key bowlers, and the team expects a strong show from them with the new ball. Tanvir Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz will look to pick wickets in the middle overs and maintain pressure on the batters. The side needs Shamim Hossain and Rishad Hossain to do well in the supporting roles.

Shai Hope and his team struggled during their recent tour of India. However, in the ODI format, the side has done relatively well in the last 12 months. They have a strong batting lineup and enjoy a good record against Bangladesh. Shai Hope would look to lead from the front and get his team off to a winning start in the series.
Brandon King is among the most experienced batsmen in this lineup, and they must deliver a solid start to the innings with Alick Athanaze. Keacy Carty and Shai Hope form the backbone of this batting, and they must do well in the middle order with Sherfane Rutherford. The team expects quick runs in the lower middle order from Roston Chase, Gudakesh Motie, and Justin Greaves.
The bowling attack will find these conditions challenging. Romario Shepherd and Jayden Seales must strike early to put the team in a strong position. Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase must use the conditions to their advantage in the middle overs. The team expects a good show in the supporting role from Shamar Joseph and Justin Greaves.

We will have clear skies over Dhaka. The wicket will be flat, and batsmen who get used to the pace of the wicket can do well. Bowling will be challenging for fast bowlers on this track. The average first innings score has been above 260 runs in the last few years, and the team batting first would like to have 320 on the board.

Shere Bangla National Stadium has a good batting surface, and we have seen batters succeed here with the fast outfield offering plenty of scoring opportunities. Fast bowlers need to use their variations to succeed, but spinners do here, as there is plenty of assistance from the track.
Total Match Score Under 482.5 1.72
The average total match score in the last three ODI matches played at Mirpur is around 440-450 runs. It is a low scoring venue where the conditions favour the bowlers and the average 1st innings score is around 210-215 runs. It is hard to score runs at this venue for a team like West Indies who struggle to play against spin and Bangladesh are likely to come in with three spinners which makes it even harder for the visitors. We predict a low scoring thriller and the total match score to be under 483 runs.
West Indies to win the coin toss 1.95
We back West Indies to win the coin toss in the 1st ODI match of West Indies tour of Bangladesh at Sher-e Bangla stadium in Mirpur.
It's early winter, and the dew factor is something both sides would be taking into account. Bowling second on this track would be difficult with a wet ball, especially for the spinners. Hence, we believe the side that wins the toss in this game would like to bowl first.
Bangladesh finds itself in a tough position. There seems to be no end to their struggles in this format. The batting lineup has looked rusty in recent games, and the team needs a strong show from the top and middle order to win this game. The West Indies have a strong batting lineup and a good record against Bangladesh, giving them a slight edge.
