July 22 (CRICKETNMORE) - West Indies will take on Bangladesh in the first one-day international of 2 match series in Providence on Sunday. West Indies had a clean sweep 2-0 over Bangladesh earlier this month.
The home side has a formidable outfit, and their battery of pacers – Alzarri Joseph and Keemo Paul, along with comeback man Andre Russell and in-form captain Jason Holder, are likely to cause Bangladesh plenty of problems.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, will need to put the Test series behind them and start afresh. The visitors warmed up for the ODIs with a four-wicket win over UWI Vice-Chancellor’s XI in Kingston on Thursday. Mosaddek Hossain, the off-spinner, picked up 4/14 while Mushfiqur Rahim (75*) and Liton Das (70) spearheaded a successful chase.
