Match preview & overview
Bangladesh demolish West Indies by 179 runs in Dhaka ODI
Bangladesh Cricket beat West Indies Cricket by 179 runs at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on 23 October 2025. Bangladesh won the toss, chose to bat, and posted 296/8 from their 50 overs. West Indies never mounted a serious reply, folding for 117 with their overs unused. Soumya Sarkar was named Player of the Match for his contribution to the innings that set up the win.
The margin tells its own story. West Indies lost 3 wickets inside the powerplay for just 39 runs, and the middle overs brought only 78 more at the cost of another 7. Bangladesh's bowlers finished the job well before the death, leaving nothing to play for in the final phase.
For Bangladesh, this win was a sharp contrast to the earlier part of 2025, during which West Indies had won three consecutive matches between the sides. The two home victories in this latest series have helped level the recent record.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
- Top Bangladesh batter markets may hold interest given how the home side's top order performed relative to the venue's average first-innings scoring.
- West Indies' batting fragility in the powerplay, where they lost 3 wickets for 39 in this match, could make early wicket markets worth considering in subsequent fixtures.
- The gap between Bangladesh's 296 and the venue's average first-innings score of 179 suggests total-runs markets may be worth examining when Bangladesh bat at Shere Bangla.
- Spin bowling has historically been rewarded at this ground; bowling performance markets for Bangladesh's spinners may reflect editorial value that outright result lines do not fully price in.
