WI vs BAN Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the WI vs BAN 3rd T20I head-to-head contest.

West Indies to score over 19.5 at first dismissal

In their last five T20I matches, West Indies have lost their first wicket for 18, 6, 34, 4 and 59 runs respectively. West Indies played three of these matches in India and two at home. The one in which they stitched a 59-run partnership was against a quality side like England in Bridgetown, while in their previous match at Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica which they won by 35 runs. In their home conditions, West Indies have lost their first wicket for 18, 59, 64, 11, 3 and 52 in their last six matches. Barring their last match at home, all these matches were against England who had the likes of Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali, and Tymal Mills in their bowling unit. Brandon King and Kyle Mayers stitched 18 runs together in the first match but should not find it difficult to score over 19.5 runs against an under-pressure Bangladesh who lost the Test series 0-2. Apart from Mustafizur Rahman and Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh bowlers do not possess any major threat. However, Rahman leaked 37 runs in the first match and went wicketless while Shakib took one wicket after giving away 38 runs in four overs. Mayers has scores of 17, 6, 9, 31, 31 and 40 in his last six T20I innings, while King has scores of 57, 22, 4, 34, 26 and 10 in his last six outings in the shortest format of the game. King had scored 67, 43 and 52 not out runs in the T20I series in Pakistan in December, 2021 before slamming 43-ball 57 on Sunday. Scoring over 20 runs without losing any wickets should not be difficult for West Indies in the second T20I.

Shakib Al Hasan to score over 17.5 runs

In the second T20I, he impressed again and top-scored for his side with 68 unbeaten runs off 52 balls. The former captain fought a lone battle as his team went down by 35 runs. The innings included 5 fours and three sixes as the West Indies bowling unit had no answers to the brilliance and experience of Shakib Al Hasan.

Brandon King to score over 16.5 runs

Brandon King set the tone for West Indies in the second T20I with his 43-ball 57 (including seven fours and a six) which fired West Indies to a handsome 193 for 5. The importance of the innings was immense as West Indies lost two quick wickets inside four overs. The third-wicket stand between King and captain Nicholas Pooran accounted for 74 runs. King has been in sublime white-ball form lately. He scored 58 and 91 unbeaten runs in the first and second T20I against Netherlands in June.
