West Indies will enter this series in 2025 with mixed ODI form, having played three ODI series this year and won one.

Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka usually offers a balanced competition between bat and ball. The early overs are favorable for fast bowlers with some bounce and movement, but the surface settles down rapidly to aid stroke-play. As the game progresses, the pitch becomes slower, allowing spinners to gain turn and control. Batsmen who can rotate the strike and play spin well will have the advantage. Dew is usually minimal, so bowling in both innings remains equally challenging. Overall, teams winning the toss may prefer to bat first to set the target but will have to be wary of spinner-friendly middle overs to control the tempo of the game.
