Bangladesh, Windies first ODI delayed by rain
As the groundsmen tried hard to dry up the ground, it is believed that the ground will be prepared any time but the weather forecast more rain today in Guyana, which could interrupt the proceedings of the game. Bangladesh is hoping to hit back into winning way with this game. The Tigers indeed could hope for the best because the format is O’DI where they can even beat any team in any part of the world.
The hope to win a series in any part of the world was further bolstered after they beat South Africa at their own den in their last ODI series in March. Since their 3-0 whitewash in New Zealand in March last year, the Tigers in fact didn’t lose any series. In this period, they beat teams like Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
Even though they were whitewashed in two-match Test series and lost the three-match T20 series by 2-0 (the first game ended in a no result), the Tigers can draw confidence from their last West Indies tour in 2018 when they beat the Caribbean side by 2-1 in three-match O’DI series. But the stat that would keep Bangladesh highly motivated is that they didn’t lose any ODI match against West Indies in any part of the world since 2018. In this period they won eight straight ODIs.
