West Indies tour of Bangladesh (2025) [3 ODIS and 3 T20Is]

[Mainul]

BD selectors didn't drop Shanto. I am surprised. Does he have any political connection?

Some really retarded selections.

Shanto is a limited batsman unsuitable for limited overs cricket

Shanto is a limited batsman unsuitable for limited overs cricket

He shouldn't play any format. Doesn't have good technique.

[Hellion]

Another ridiculously ugly pitch. Looks like marshland that has been drained of all water.

 

[Hellion]

21 overs of an ODI bowled. 5 spinners and no seamers used. This is ridiculous

 

[sweep_shot]

2nd ODI today.

BD finish at 213/7 after 50 overs.

Windies need 214 to win.

 

[sweep_shot]

21 overs of an ODI bowled. 5 spinners and no seamers used. This is ridiculous

All 50 overs have been bowled by spinners.

Even BD only have one pacer today (Mustafiz).

 

[Mas-LFC]

Never seen this before. Entire ODI innings bowled with 5 spinners. Always a first I guess.

 

[Mas-LFC]

All 50 overs have been bowled by spinners.

Even BD only have one pacer today (Mustafiz).

It should be banned. In fact 2 seamers must minimum requirement to be included in every format.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Lol unbreakable record,
===

Wi bowled 50 overs of spin in an ODI

No place for pace in Dhaka as West Indies deliver the most overs of spin in a men's ODI innings!

Previous highest was 44 overs - bowled by Sri Lanka on three separate occasions: vs WI in 1996, NZ in 1998 and AUS in 2004

 

[Mas-LFC]

Everyone struggled with the pitch and then came Rishad Hossain late on smacked 39 off 14 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes.

 

[sweep_shot]

It should be banned. In fact 2 seamers must minimum requirement to be included in every format.

Yes. I am okay with that rule.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yes. I am okay with that rule.

Its not good showing/viewing bro. it makes cricket looks boring and dull. You want to see pacers running in and bowling pace.

 

[Devadwal]

It should be banned. In fact 2 seamers must minimum requirement to be included in every format.

Stop producing low quality pitches first for limited over cricket

Another ridiculously ugly pitch. Looks like marshland that has been drained of all water.

This looks like lord of the rings terrain that Frodo and Sam walked through to Mordor lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Windies lost a wicket already.

WI - 9/1 (3.1 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

If BD win today, it would be the 4th ODI series win in a row against Windies at home.

Last time Windies won an ODI series in BD was back in 2011.

 

[sweep_shot]

Good over for Windies. 11 off it.

Windies - 22/1 (6 overs; target: 214).

 

[Mas-LFC]

New ball is easier to play. Once it gets older it will be harder to play. watching both matches so far anything fullish you need to take advantage of.

 

[Hellion]

This looks like lord of the rings terrain that Frodo and Sam walked through to Mordor lol

Yep. Worst pitch in the world - Mirpur. And it's deliberate. They are perfectly capable of preparing a good wicket .

Kohli 183 was at this venue

 

[Hellion]

It should be banned. In fact 2 seamers must minimum requirement to be included in every format.

Pointless rule. Onus should be on boards to prepare better wickets rather than bringing such rules into play

 

[sweep_shot]

Windies - 32/1 (9 overs; target: 214).

 

[sweep_shot]

Windies - 41/1 (12 overs; target: 214).

 

[Mas-LFC]

This pitch is slightly better than the first ODI. BD batters dont play spin well. Shanto gifted his wicket, Ankon and Soumya both got out to wrong balls, not there to hit, they took risk, slower balls span more on a good length in the first innings. Fullish balls were easier to play off.

 

[sweep_shot]

Windies lose their 2nd wicket. Rishad strikes.

WI - 52/2 (13.2 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Windies - 78/2 (20 overs; target: 214).

BD need some quick wickets.

 

[BDfanforever]

Come on WI, just 100 more runs to get.

 

[BDfanforever]

I see that BD managed this score only because of Rishad Hossain 39 off 14.

BD have better pacers now, not sure why they are playing in such poor spin friendly pitches? I have never seen BCB this desperate.

Probably for Points which are crucial for automatic qualification

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Today Pak opened with spinner and played 3 spin in a test.

Bangladesh not playing any seamers?

Cricket dying every day in front of us.

 

[jnaveen1980]

80 overs out of 83 bowled by spinners. It seems like a new record.

 

[Ball Blazer]

West Indies created a unique piece of history on Tuesday by becoming the first team ever to bowl 50 overs of spin in an ODI innings.

In a bold tactical move during the second ODI against Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, the West Indies opted for a full-spin attack, a strategy that saw all five bowlers used being spinners

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have used spin so much that this match has got the attention of CSK a team that relies a lot on spinners.

[RedwoodOriginal]

These types of pitches are an affront to white-ball cricket. Above all, they won't allow Bangladesh to improve in white-ball.

Bangladesh want to win This series at all cost because World Cup 2027 qualification is at stake. These pitches are not suitable for ODI cricket

Just checked the rankings and surprised to see Bangladesh at 10, and Afghanistan ranked above England. This decision makes more sense now but I still hope ICC gives this pitch a rating like they do for test matches.

I saw some clips of the last match and was shocked just to see the color of the pitch, it was so dark in color.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Tbh I am not unhappy with this pitch.
I love 210-220 type thriller odis.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Windies have a good chance here.
38 off 33 needed with hope and greaves at the crease

 

[jamie smith fan]

Why is greaves batting so low.
Looking at his ListA record he should be batting in top 5

 

[jamie smith fan]

Game spicing up nicely

 

[jamie smith fan]

Hope is playing well.
Dont think babar or virat would have even 10 runs on this pitch.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

its ok once in a while, but its getting too much

 

[jamie smith fan]

I dont mind it

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I dont mind it

Change your username to Mirpur minefield fan

 

[jamie smith fan]

Change your username to Mirpur minefield fan

Lol
I think it is good to make a competitive game out of these 2 handicapped teams.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Windies require 5 off 6 now.
It is going down the wire

 

[The Bald Eagle]

It is a thriller, regardless of the pitch

 

[jamie smith fan]

Windies are choking here
5 off 3 now

 

[jamie smith fan]

Saif hassan has a golden arm

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Another terrible pitch. Saw a pic of this one, and it looked awful.

Bangladesh's ODI cricket is terrible outside of Mirpur.

 

[jamie smith fan]

A tie

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a thriller, regardless of the pitch

That is because WI went with. 11 batsmen lol

 

[DeadlyVenom]

For sure it's a thriller

 

[jamie smith fan]

We are into the superover hurrah

 

[BDfanforever]

What is WI doing. Should've been easy win.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This match should have remain a tie rather than superover

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What is WI doing. Should've been easy win.

On this pitch? There is no easy win

 

[jnaveen1980]

What is WI doing. Should've been easy win.

Yea hosein should have fed the strike to Hope instead of going for glory shot

 

[jamie smith fan]

This match should have remain a tie rather than superover

Why??
It is exciting to get a super over.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Why??
It is exciting to get a super over.

May be I missed something, seems like rules have changed

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Why??
It is exciting to get a super over.

keep it for world cup.

in a bilateral tied match makes the series quite interesting.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Points are crucial for both teams for world cup qualification

 

[Devadwal]

Spinner to bowl super over for westindies? Poor decision

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Windies favorite now

 

[Devadwal]

Windies favorite now

Bangladesh is chasing only 11 runs. Bangladesh favourite.

Wide to start the over

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Akeal Hossein bottling it

 

[Devadwal]

Free hit in super over . Haha

 

[DeadlyVenom]

new worst superover of all time, he is trying to take the record from

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This pitch looks like multiple homicides were committed on it

 

[Devadwal]

Sarkar gone.

5 from 2. Another super over?

 

[Devadwal]

4 from last ball ?

 

[Devadwal]

Wide now 3 from 1. Chance of another super over?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Akeal has been absolutely terrible and BD still lose.

 

[jnaveen1980]

WI got away lol

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

So much pitch doctoring and still lost the match lol

 

[Devadwal]

Hahahahaha Westindies won by 1 runs in 9 ball over .

Minnows Bangladesh for a reason even after pitch doctoring they can't defeat poor Westindies side.

 

[BDfanforever]

Glad WI won in the end.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Mirpur is one of the worst pitch to play white ball cricket

 

[Devadwal]

Mirpur is one of the worst pitch to play white ball cricket

Asa lgra jase koi koyle ki khaan ke uper match hora ho

 

[BDfanforever]

Hope has 50 avg in ODI, that is almost like Kohli level.
