After an emphatic 2-0 win against Bangladesh in the T20I series, West Indies will be aiming to produce another dominating performance in the ODI series and iron out their flaws that led to a series defeat against Pakistan last month.
On the other hand, Bangladesh are yet to win a game since they landed in the Caribbean and will be itching to make their mark in the three-match ODI series starting on Sunday, July 10, at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
Overall, the two sides have locked horns in 41 matches, and West Indies have triumphed in 21 games and have a win percentage of 51.2, with two matches not producing any result.
