West Indies vs Bangladesh 1st Test Preview & Predictions with Latest Odds*
While this series might not have too much bearing on the WTC points table standings, it is a rare opportunity for both, West Indies and Bangladesh to add a few wins to their kitty in this format.
Neither team has done too well in Tests, notwithstanding Bangladesh’s 2-0 win over Pakistan and West Indies shock win in Australia, which means a solid performance here could be the need of the hour.
West Indies enter the series as favourites at home given the conditions but with Bangladesh unearthing a few quick bowlers of their own, it would be down to how the home team’s batters perform.
The weather might play a small role but there should be enough time to force a result. Backing West Indies to take the lead in this game.
