MATCH: West Indies vs Bangladesh
DATE: December 10,Tuesday
TIME: 7 pm IST
VENUE: Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts
TOURNAMENT: 2nd ODI 2024
The second ODI of the ongoing series between the West Indies and Bangladesh will be played at the Warner Park in St Kitts on Tuesday, December 10. The hosts are already 1-0 up in the series, and Bangladesh need a comeback win on Tuesday to keep the contest alive.
The opening ODI saw the hosts clinch a five-wicket victory. A late flourish by Mahmudullah and Jaker Ali powered Bangladesh to a competitive total of 294. However, a couple of partnerships, both involving Sherfane Rutherford, who ended up scoring a glorious ton, guided the Men in Maroon to a comfortable victory at the end.
Pitch Report
The series opener was the first ODI to be played at the venue in over six years. With the second game being played on a used track, it could be extracted to be more conducive to spin bowlers. The game on Sunday saw the Windies chase down a decent target quite comfortably, and thus, chasing can prove to be a fruitful decision after winning the toss.
Predicted Playing XIs
West Indies: Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (c, wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Jayden Seales, Alzarri Joseph
Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Afif Hossain, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana, Tanzim Hasan Sakib
Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter: Evin Lewis
The flamboyant southpaw couldn’t capitalize on his start in the first game. He was trusted with another opportunity in the national side recently, and the opener would be desperate to live up to the expectations. Lewis could be expected to be at his best in the upcoming fixture, like he was against Sri Lanka.
Probable Best Bowler: Gudakesh Motie
The young left-arm spinner can never be ruled out of contention. Although he could not get the better of any batter in the previous game, Motie remained the most economical bowler, conceding at 4.2 in his full quota of 10 overs. The left-arm orthodox could be expected to deliver a match-defining spell in this forthcoming fixture.
