After that slight scare Ireland gave England in the one-off ODI, a lot was expected from them against a second-string Windies team. However, the hosts took a drubbing and now, Windies play Bangladesh in Game 2 of the Ireland 2019 ODI tri-series. While Windies are clear favourites, Bangladesh have held a dominance over these opponents in recent months.
Following a world record 365-run opening stand, can Windies repeat their stellar performance against Bangladesh here? Bear in mind that while conditions are extremely seam-friendly, off-spinner Ashley Nurse picked up 4 wickets in the opening game.

West Indies
Windies are unlikely to make any changes to their playing eleven after that impressive performance against Ireland. However, 90% of fantasy teams will now have Shai Hope and John Campbell in their sides. Here’s where you can make a difference. For the wicket-keeper option, Mushfiqur Rahim bats much lower but he is one of Bangladesh’s most experienced batsman and there’s a good chance of him scoring big.
Also, the Bangladesh bowling attack is better than the Irish one so chances of early wickets are higher. Pick Darren Bravo instead, while Roston Chase is a must-pick, as he provides an added bowling option as well. Similarly, Jonathan Carter is good with bat and ball and will be a cheaper options from someone like Jason Holder, but remember, Carter didn’t bat or bowl in the last game against Ireland.
Bangladesh
For Bangladesh, experience is always carrying them through. Shakib al Hasan has come from a small stint at the IPL 2019 and being known as one of the best all-rounders in the world is reason enough to pick him in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy team, while the next bet is Tamim Iqbal, who has been carrying this national team of his shoulders for many months now.
With the ball, all of Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain and Mashrafe Mortaza have picked 3 wickets in 2 games each at this ground in the past, which means 9 wickets among them in 2 games. In my fantasy team, I’d pick Hossain and Mortaza as ‘The Fizz’ is coming off an injury and will take time to find his rhythm. All-rounder Mehidy Hasan is a must, especially if your fantasy cricket websites has listed him as just a bowler.
