WI vs BAN Match Preview

The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy is just over two months away, so ODI cricket is receiving a lot of attention right now. Bangladesh will compete in the tournament and will be optimistic about their chances on Pakistani pitches, but West Indies will not participate due to their failure to qualify for the 2023 Cricket World Cup. However, there is still plenty to do in the host camp! They enter this series after defeating an experimental England side 2-1 at home, and will now face a full-strength Bangladesh team.
