BAN vs WI, 1st ODI Live Streaming: Match Preview
Following a disappointing 3-0 ODI series loss to Afghanistan and an uninspiring Champions Trophy 2025 outing, Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s Bangladesh team will be keen to restore pride in home conditions. The Tigers will rely on their spin-friendly conditions and veteran pace combination of Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman to get the early breakthroughs and dictate the tone of the series.
The West Indies, under the leadership of Shai Hope, enter this series after a humbling Test series whitewash against India. With the 2027 ODI World Cup qualification cycle in full swing, the two-time world champions will be keen to make a strong statement in the subcontinent and regroup their rhythm in the 50-over format.

BAN vs WI, 1st ODI Live Streaming: Match Prediction
Bangladesh are favourites going into this game because of their experience of playing on the slow surface of Dhaka and historic strong home record. Their spinners may be the key to limiting the Caribbean batsmen.
But West Indies’ attacking style of batting and rising pace attack under Shamar Joseph and Shepherd may test Bangladesh’s consistency. Should they counter spin, then an upset is possible.
Prediction: Bangladesh to emerge victorious in the first ODI in a tight match.
