Bangladesh vs West Indies Prediction: Who Will Win BAN vs WI 2nd ODI Match on 21st October 2025?
The Bangladesh vs West Indies prediction for the 2nd ODI 2025 is here — and cricket fans can expect another spin-dominated contest at the Shere-E-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. Bangladesh hold a 1-0 series lead after a comfortable victory in the first ODI and will be aiming to seal the series with another win at home. The surface in Dhaka once again promises turn and grip, a factor that favors the hosts’ spinners — Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz — who were sensational in the opening game.
For West Indies, the challenge remains how to counter Bangladesh’s spin attack. Their batters must maximize the powerplay overs and rotate strike effectively against the slower bowlers in the middle phase. Shai Hope’s composure, Brandon King’s stroke play, and Roston Chase’s adaptability will be critical if the visitors are to post or chase a competitive score.
A total around 220–230 runs will likely be match-winning in Dhaka, given the surface’s tendency to slow down as the game progresses. Bangladesh enter this fixture as favorites based on their superior form, home advantage, and the psychological edge from their first-game victory. However, West Indies will look to bounce back strongly and force a decider in the series.

Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh began the series in commanding fashion, defending a modest total of 207 thanks to a brilliant bowling effort led by Rishad Hossain. Their disciplined approach on a slow surface proved too much for the West Indies batters.
The batting unit, although not flawless, showed determination. Najmul Hossain Shanto (32), Towhid Hridoy (51), and Mahidul Islam Ankon (46) displayed patience and adaptability against pace and spin alike. While Bangladesh’s top order needs better starts, their middle and lower-middle order looks balanced, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz anchoring the innings and Nurul Hasan providing late acceleration.
In the bowling department, Rishad Hossain’s 6/35 was the standout performance. His aggressive wrist-spin alongside Tanvir Islam’s left-arm spin and Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s control forms a potent trio capable of dismantling any lineup on turning tracks.
Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman lead the pace unit, and both bowlers bring variation that complements the spinners well. Mustafizur’s cutters and Taskin’s bounce are key weapons, especially during the powerplay and death overs. Bangladesh will look to maintain their winning momentum and secure another series win at home.
Predicted Playing XI (Bangladesh):
Saif Hassan, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (C), Nurul Hasan (WK), Mahidul Islam Ankon, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman
West Indies Preview
For West Indies, the first ODI exposed familiar weaknesses against quality spin. After a strong start, they collapsed from 79/1 to 133 all out, unable to handle the grip and variation from Bangladesh’s spinners.
Brandon King and Alick Athanaze provided a promising foundation, but the middle order faltered under pressure. Shai Hope, the captain and most experienced batter, will have to anchor the innings and ensure stability during the middle overs. Sherfane Rutherford and Justin Greaves can turn the game around if they find form, while Romario Shepherd’s late hitting will be vital in the death overs.
Bowling remains West Indies’ stronger suit. Jayden Seales was the standout performer in the first ODI, picking up 3 wickets for 48 runs, while Roston Chase and Khary Pierre provided control with their spin. However, to succeed in Dhaka, they must adjust their lengths and pace to counter Bangladesh’s spin-friendly conditions.
The Windies will need early wickets and a disciplined bowling plan to restrict the hosts to a manageable total. Their success depends on handling the spin threat and building partnerships in tough batting conditions.
Predicted Playing XI (West Indies):
Brandon King, Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (C & WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Khary Pierre, Jayden Seales

Favorite Team in Today’s Match
Bangladesh are the clear favorites to win today’s contest against West Indies. Their home dominance in ODI cricket, especially on slow, turning tracks, makes them a tough team to beat. The trio of Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are likely to trouble the West Indian middle order once again. Their batting, though not explosive, is built around stability and adaptability, which suits Dhaka’s conditions perfectly.
West Indies, meanwhile, face an uphill task. Their batting unit lacks the technique to handle high-quality spin for long periods, and their middle order remains under pressure. Unless their bowlers pick early wickets and restrict Bangladesh below 200, the home side should comfortably take the series 2-0.
