WI vs BAN Match Preview

Bangladesh rarely wins a T20I series away from home, but their two victories in the first two games have given them just the fourth away series win in 17 attempts! For the West Indies, it is back to the drawing board. They are a team that has had numerous false dawns over the years, but they struggle to maintain consistency throughout all formats at the same time.

WI vs BAN Probable Winners:

West Indies are the clear favorites in this T20I series. The format suits these individuals well, and playing inside gives them an extra advantage. Their recent 3-0 victory during the ODI series toward Bangladesh has only boosted their confidence. In contrast, Bangladesh's T20I performance so far has been disappointing, due to their batting line-up lacking both versatility and firepower to compete with the explosive hitters in the West Indies' squad. These factors combined tip the scales to the advantage of the hosts in the first game. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.
