West Indies Vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup Prediction

West Indies Vs Bangladesh Betting Preview

Two time T20 World Cup winners, West Indies, have had a distressing tournament so far. Losing two from two at the beginning of the tournament narrows the chances of winning the title. Bangladesh have also failed to perform well with the ball. They, too, have lost two from two which means it's all or nothing for both teams in this matchup. 

West Indies are the movers and shakers of the tournament. Chris Gayle and Andre Russell are two players that are yet to try a run storm. The thing that goes in their favour is that they faced England and South Africa in their first two matches. Both teams have exceptional pace attacks. West Indies batting line-up will prefer Bangladesh's bowling attack on any day of the tournament.

West Indies had quite an unusual second match. The slow inning (16 of 36) from Lendl Simmons, probably was the difference between the total score of 143 and 180. But the T20 World Cup is a stage of comebacks and surprises. And the power-packed West Indies will fancy their chances against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh's players have failed to hold their nerves in challenging moments. Another stumbling block for Bangladesh has been overconfidence and a lack of strength in intent. They have stressed out in pressure moments. Losing 3 wickets in powerplay always puts a team on the backfoot, in particular, on the sluggish pitches of the UAE.

In a fast-paced game like T20 cricket, weaknesses and strengths are exploited most. There isn't much recovery time for either of these teams. This match is the one on which all hopes will be pinned.
