West Indies vs Bangladesh Chance of Winning
The West Indies will host Bangladesh for a 2-match Test series, with the format taking center stage after a busy home season. Recently, the West Indies hosted England for a mixed-bag series, securing a 2-1 victory in ODIs but losing the T20I series 3-1. In Tests, their last outing was against South Africa in August, where they faced tough competition. This series presents a fresh opportunity for the hosts to display their cricketing prowess against a determined Bangladesh side.
Bangladesh arrives in the Caribbean following a 2-1 ODI series loss to Afghanistan. Despite recent disappointments, including a Test series defeat to South Africa at home, the Tigers have shown glimpses of their potential, highlighted by their stunning Test victory against Pakistan. However, inconsistency continues to plague the team. Against a competitive West Indies team, Bangladesh will need to be at their peak to make a mark in the series.
- Bangladesh’s chance of winning: 23%
- West Indies’s chance of winning: 77%

West Indies vs Bangladesh Betting Tips
Bangladesh to score low before 1st dismissal (@Parimatch)
Bangladesh have lost four out of their last five Test outings. They faced South Africa in their last Test series where they had to taste defeat by 1-0. Shadnam Islam and Mahmudul Hasan Joy opened for the side in the series. The pair scored 6 & 10 runs before their first dismissal in the first innings of the two games. Hasan Joy and Islam average under 26 in their Test careers. Bangladesh struggles against the pace and West Indies will certainly not take it easy on the opponents. Bangladesh will be expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.
Match Prediction Best Odds
West Indies vs Bangladesh Toss Prediction
The pitch at North Sound traditionally offers slow and low bounce, which favours batters early in the game. However, as the match progresses, it tends to break up, offering assistance to spinners. On the first day, fast bowlers might extract some movement and bounce, but the surface generally becomes batting-friendly on days 2 and 3. At Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, the predominant trend is to bat first to take advantage of the batting-friendly surface before it begins to deteriorate. However, teams with strong fast-bowling lineups might consider bowling first if early conditions seem favourable.
Weather Report
The weather forecast for Antigua on November 22, 2024, shows a mostly cloudy day with a high of 30°C. Expect scattered showers in the afternoon, with a 80% chance of rain around midday.

West Indies vs Bangladesh Betting Odds
Kraigg Brathwaite will lead the side, while all-rounder Jason Holder remains sidelined as he recovers from a shoulder injury. The squad features standout performers like Justin Greaves, who earned his place after an impressive run in the CG United Super50 Cup, where he notched three centuries. Spinner Kevin Sinclair also makes a return, adding variety to the bowling attack and strengthening the team’s depth.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, faces a challenging task with Mehidy Hasan Miraz stepping in as captain due to Najmul Hossain Shanto's absence caused by a groin injury. Adding to their woes, veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim is also unavailable due to a shoulder issue, creating gaps in the team’s experience and leadership. Mehidy will need to make strategic decisions to balance the playing XI as the team adjusts to these changes in a crucial series.
