Given that the team batting first has won nine of the previous eleven ODIs in Basseterre, we think both Bangladesh and the West Indies will aim to bat first on Sunday. Rain is predicted for Basseterre, KN during the game. The pitch is suitable for batting, and the second game is probably going to be no different.
