BANGLADESH FORM: TIGERS OUTCLASSED BY FORMIDABLE ENGLAND
Bangladesh already had two points in the bank after beating Scotland, making their next game against England a free hit from their perspective. The Tigers bowled well but their batters couldn't score well enough vs England's spin-bowling quartet, leading to a 21-run-win for Heather Knight's side.
WEST INDIES FORM: WINDIES BOUNCE BACK WITH THUMPING WIN OVER SCOTS
Anything less than victory over Scotland would've been a massive blow for West Indies' tournament ambitions after being thrashed by South Africa, but this time it was the Windies on the right end of a thumping. Chasing exactly 100 to win, Hayley Matthews' side got the job done with 8.2 overs to spare.
BANGLADESH BETTING ANALYSIS
Consistency is the key to success, especially from a betting point of view and Bangladesh's Ritu Moni has certainly been that with the ball. The right-arm medium pacer has taken two wickets in each of the Tigers' group stage fixtures so far and her potency will be crucial against a hard-hitting West Indian batting order. Back Moni to record over 1.5 match wickets for a third straight game.
WEST INDIES BETTING ANALYSIS
One thing you can always expect with West Indies are for their batters not to be afraid of taking on the big shot, even in a venue like Sharjah where the boundaries have been deep. With that in mind, utilising the powerplay will be crucial for the Windies openers and there is value to be had in backing them to make the 'Highest 1st 6 Overs Score.
BANGLADESH VS WEST INDIES EXPERT PREDICTION
Both these two nations can call upon an array of bowling options to try and slow the run-rate down over the course of both innings. But when comparing the two batting units, there is more power and depth to be found within that of West Indies. With that in mind, back them to claim victory over the Tigers.
