BAN vs WI Today Match Prediction & Analysis (Who Will Win?)
Bangladesh entered this match fighting for redemption after their top order collapsed repeatedly against Afghanistan. The team has only managed one win in their last 12 ODIs, and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz will hope his team rediscovers their spark. Najmul Hossain Shanto has been Bangladesh’s most reliable batter recently, while Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman will need to exploit home conditions with early breakthroughs.
For the West Indies, momentum is on their side. Skipper Shai Hope has led from the front with consistent runs, supported by the power hitting of Brandon King and Alick Athanaze. Their bowling, spearheaded by Jayden Seales and Gudakesh Motie, has the variety to trouble Bangladesh’s struggling line-up. Given their recent head-to-head record and deeper batting unit, West Indies head into the match as slight favorites.

The bowling department, featuring Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, must deliver early breakthroughs to push West Indies back.
