Match Details

  • Match: Bangladesh vs West Indies (ODI)

  • Date & Time: 21 Oct, 01:00 PM IST

  • Venue: Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur (Dhaka)

Quick Preview

Bangladesh come in with a 1W-4L recent run but enjoy home comfort in Mirpur’s low-scoring, spin-aiding conditions. West Indies are 2W-3L across last five but boast in-form strike options like Jayden Seales and control from Gudakesh Motie/Roston Chase. Recent head-to-head is fairly even and the venue typically keeps scores around 160–180 in first innings, keeping bowlers and bowling all-rounders in play.

Why: Bangladesh’s home/venue edge (+ spin value) slightly outweighs WI’s better recent individual form.

Pitch & Venue Analysis — Shere Bangla, Mirpur

  • Type: Low-scoring, tacky; shot-making is tough as innings progresses.

  • Avg 1st Inns: ~165

  • Dismissals: ~7 wickets/innings ⇒ bowling-heavy builds viable.

  • Fantasy Split: Bowlers ~58% vs Batters ~42% of points.

  • Pace vs Spin: Near-equal returns; both viable (slight lean to pace early, spin grips later).

  • Toss: Teams often prefer to chase; dew can help the second innings, but the surface can slow up.

Fantasy angles for this venue

  • Prioritize bowling all-rounders + wicket-takers over pure anchors.

  • Death-overs pacers (Mustafizur/Shepherd) & middle-overs spinners (Rishad/Motie/Chase) carry ceiling.

  • Captains from AR/BOW slots are historically safer here.

Powerplay & Death Overs Impact (Ceiling Targets)

  • Powerplay (0–10):

    • WI: Jayden Seales swings it upfront; Brandon King the intent batter.

    • BAN: Towhid Hridoy often stabilizes if early wickets; Mustafizur less PP, more end-game.

  • Middle Overs (10–40):

    • Spin choke: Rishad Hossain (leg spin strikes), Taijul (control), Motie & Chase (WI) thrive as grip increases.

  • Death (40–50):

    • BAN: Mustafizur cutters = wicket opportunities.

    • WI: Romario Shepherd (ball + late hits), Seales can return for wickets.

Key Dream11 Picks

MVP / Safe Captaincy

  • Mehidy Hasan Miraz (AR, BAN): Bat + full quota; form 588 pts/5; venue suits his skillset.

  • Jayden Seales (BOW, WI): Hot streak; PP + late burst potential.

  • Rishad Hossain (BOW, BAN): Strike leggie; Mirpur aids grip—massive ceiling.

Premium Supports

  • Gudakesh Motie (BOW, WI): Middle-overs squeeze + wickets on slow decks.

  • Shai Hope (WK, WI): High floor, recent big knocks; best WK pick.

  • Roston Chase (AR, WI): Dual-role stability; adds batting insurance in low totals.

Differential / Value Picks

  • Towhid Hridoy (BAT, BAN): Form utility at No.3/4; plays spin well.

  • Romario Shepherd (AR, WI): Death-phase impact both ways.

  • Brandon King / Keacy Carty (BAT, WI): If WI bat first, top-order run value rises.

  • Mustafizur Rahman (BOW, BAN): Death specialist—spike games on slow surfaces.

  • K Pierre / Justin Greaves (AR, WI): If selected, handy overs + field role.

Suggested Dream11 Combination (Bowling-lean)

1 WK – 3 BAT – 3 AR – 4 BOWL

  • WK: Shai Hope (WI)

  • BAT: Keacy Carty (WI), Brandon King (WI), Towhid Hridoy (BAN)

  • AR: Mehidy Hasan Miraz (BAN) – C, Roston Chase (WI) – VC, Justin Greaves (WI) (if not playing, pivot to S Hassan or R Shepherd)

  • BOWL: Jayden Seales (WI), Rishad Hossain (BAN), Gudakesh Motie (WI), Mustafizur Rahman (BAN)

Bench/Pivots (on toss & XIs): Taijul Islam (BAN), Tanzim Hasan Sakib (BAN), Sherfane Rutherford (WI), Alick Athanaze (WI).
If Bangladesh load extra spin, consider Taijul over a WI batter.

Conditional Strategy & Toss Plans

  • If Bangladesh bat first:

    • Expect ~160–190. Prioritize BAN spinners (Rishad/Taijul) and Miraz C. Keep Seales for PP wickets.

  • If West Indies bat first:

    • Keep Seales VC or Motie VC; include Shepherd for death + slog. King/Carty gain value as top-order anchors.

  • If Dew visible:

    • Slight boost to chasers and seam-at-death; retain Mustafizur/Seales.

  • If pitch looks very dry/cracked:

    • Double up on spin: Rishad + Taijul + Motie + Chase, and consider moving VC from Seales to Rishad/Motie.

Final Tips

  • Favor AR/BOW over pure BAT on this ground.

  • Lock Miraz/Rishad/Seales in most builds.

  • Use late swaps after XIs:

    • If WI pick extra spin, add Motie + Chase; if BAN play Tanzim, he’s a budget wicket option.

  • Avoid over-stacking top-order from both sides; Mirpur can melt batting lineups quickly.

Good luck, and watch the toss + XIs 30 mins before start!
