West Indies Form: Back to winning ways in style
After having not won in red ball cricket since January, West Indies finally snapped that run in the first Test of this series. A dominating all-round performance saw them take advantage of a high first innings score to boss the game. The bowlers had plenty to work with and did their job very well, ultimately leading to a 201-run victory.
LAST FIVE: WLDLL
Bangladesh Form: North Sound beating their fifth straight loss
Bangladesh’s rotten run of form in Test cricket continues and it’s hard to see it ending anytime soon. Their batters found playing the Windies bowling attack extremely challenging and were against it from the off, due to the bowlers giving up a substantial first innings total of 450 runs. In the end, Bangladesh were skittled out for just 132 in the fourth innings of the game, completing a heavy defeat.
LAST FIVE: LLLLL
West Indies Betting Analysis
The West Indies pace-bowling attack is right drawing plaudits for how impressive they looked in the first Test, particularly bolters such as Jayden Seales and Shemar Joseph. However, the old stager Kemar Roach remains the glue that keeps the bowling unit together and is still as good as ever with the ball in hand. Consistently bowling in the right places, challenging the batters and extracting every last drop of assistance from the pitch, expect Roach to prove a menace at Sabina Park and back him to take 5+ wickets via the ‘Bowler Milestones’ market.
Bangladesh Betting Analysis
Bangladesh could at least take a few positives from the opening Test, not least Taskin Ahmed’s performance with the ball, particularly in the second innings. The 29-year-old picked up two wickets across West Indies’ first innings, but went significantly better in the second dig. Taskin completed a memorable six-wicket-haul across just over 14 overs of bowling. With eight wickets in total, bettors should explore the potential of investing in Taskin across this next Test, specifically to take over 3.5 match wickets at evens, which is fantastic value.
West Indies vs Bangladesh Expert Prediction
The Bangladesh batters had no answer to West Indies’ bowling attack last time out and it would be surprise if they had found a solution by the time these two nations meet again in Kingston. The hosts may well steamroller through the Tigers once again with their genuine pace and accuracy, plus when also factoring in their stronger-looking batting unit, it makes sense to back a second West Indies triumph.
