BAN vs WI Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for 1st ODI Bangladesh vs West Indies, 20 January

BAN vs WI Dream11: It’s the start of the Bangladesh’s home cricket season and it will be West Indies to face the hosts here at Mirpur in Dhaka. It will be first form of any international cricket in nine months in the country. Hosts Bangladesh have already given the hint of the team combination that they are going to play. Skipper Tamim Iqbal will be leading the side for the first time since being appointed as the full time captain. Star allrounder Shakib Al Hasan is returning from his ban which will give the side the balance. With the trio of Shakib, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah, the middle order has the experience and looks fairly settled. Coach Domingo has already indicated that the team will go with three seamers. At home, Bangladesh have looked a fairly good side and they will fancy their chances against a depleted opposition.

West Indies meanwhile, will be without its several players for this series. This will mean a relatively inexperienced side which will look to down a team that has been strong at home in the last few years. Jason Mohammed, who has been appointed the skipper is returning to the side after a two-year gap. Rovman Powell is the most experienced member of the squad while Sunil Ambris has also played some ODI cricket before. Among the bowlers, Alzarri Joseph and Raymon Reifer are the ones who have played this format. But 9 other players are yet to make their debut in this format and this can be a cause of concern for them.
