Bangladesh start favourites in today's second ODI against West Indies

If the script unfolds for Bangladesh like it has been for the past couple of weeks, the Tigers, led by Shakib Al Hasan, look all set to wrap the three-match ODI series against West Indies today.

Having won the first ODI by a convincing 52-run margin, the tourists have put the hosts under a considerable amount of pressure.

Add to it the lack of experience of the newly-built West Indies side, the visitors have everything going their way. True, West Indies did not get the kind of pitch that their coach John Dyson wanted, but the fact is the Tigers have displayed an exceptional brand of cricket on this tour.

Furthermore, there is hardly any improvement in West Indies' negotiation of the slow Bangladesh bowlers.

Windies batsmen have either succumbed to uncertain footwork or bad shot selection. Effectively, if the shaky top-order doesn't find a means to combat Bangladesh's strength, West Indies could slide to their first ODI series defeat against the visitors.
