West Indies have not had the best of 2022 in terms of fifty-over cricket and some of the reasons were on display in the last match. The team needs to show patience out their in the middle and must not throw away their wicket cheaply.
Manchester United endured a torrid campaign and roped in Ajax man Erik Ten Hag to guide them to their glory days again. Liverpool won two titles in the season gone by and narrowly missed out on the Champions League and the English Premier League.
Both the teams have been dominating opponents in the fifty-over format and if we take a look at their last ten matches, it is tough to pick a side as the favoruites. Jos Butler did not get his captaincy to the best of starts but with his key players like Joe Root and Ben Stokes back in the squad, he will be confident of a win.
New Zealand won the first game of the series but were taken to the limit by Ireland. The Black Caps riding on Michael Bracewell's incredible century, chased 24 runs in the final over to get over the line after Harry Tector's maiden ODI ton had helped the hosts to post a 300-plus run target on the board.
After convincing wins in the Test and T20 series, hosts West Indies shift their attention to the ODI series with Bangladesh with the first game played at Providence Stadium in Georgetown. The Bangla Tigers have been below par throughout their time in the Caribbean Islands and they look nowhere near the side that was doing well in ICC trophies
Despite a few setbacks early on yesterday, the Men in Blue managed to post a respectable total in the second game but it was their bowlers who once again laid the siege on the English batsmen. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal certainly give Indian positive vibes ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia.
New Zealand are ranked the no 1 team in ODIs at the moment and with Tom Latham and Martin Guptil at the top and a pace attack duo of Lockie Ferguson and Adam Milne, there are good reasons behind this. Andrew Balbrinie has a mammoth challenge ahead of himself as he looks to stop the Kiwi juggernaut.
Virat Kohli, who has been in terrible form for a long time now, is available for selection but it looks difficult for Rahul Dravid to alter a winning combination. Deepak Hooda has done well in the opener as well as the games against Ireland so it could well be Suryakumar Yadav who makes way for Kohli.
Bangladesh have endured a nightmare tour of the West Indies with the Tigers yet to register a win on the tour. They have barely competed against the hosts and after the first match was washed out, it was business as usual with West Indies claiming yet another victory.
