The Bangladesh national men’s cricket team’s tour of the West Indies will come to an end with a 3-match ODI series. The performances of the Bangladeshi players have been below par so far on the tour. In particular, the batters have been heavily criticized for their approach and technique in both the Test and T20 formats. The visiting team can end the tour on a high note if they seal the limited-overs WI vs BAN Series 2022. Besides, some players will get a chance to reach personal landmarks before the tour ends.

Aftermath
Winning the ODI series will be Bangladesh's main priority right now as they prepare to wrap up their Caribbean tour. Bangladesh are a very strong team in the limited-overs format.

Additionally, the potential for achieving some individual milestones will motivate the cricketers to play better in the remaining matches of the WI vs BAN Series 2022.
