West Indies won the toss and asked Bangladesh to bat first in the first ODI of the three-match series in Dhaka on Saturday.
Right before this series, Bangladesh suffered a thumping defeat to Afghanistan.
However, before the 3-0 ODI series defeat to Afghans, Bangladesh beat them in the T20I series.
With the West Indies series at home, Bangladesh will aim to rectify previous mistakes and stand strong as an ODI team.
Bangladesh XI: Soumya Sarkar, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (capt), Mahidul Islam Ankon, Nurul Hasan (wk), Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
West Indies XI: Brandon King, Alick Athanaze, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (capt & wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Khary Pierre, Jayden Seales, reports UNB.
