West Indies are eyeing improvement as they look to avoid a series defeat and force a decider at the weekend, when they face Bangladesh in the second One-Day International (ODI) of the three-match series in Guyana today.

The day-nighter at the Guyana National Stadium will be pivotal to the Windies halting their losing trend in ODIs that has seen them slump to ninth in the ICC rankings — two spots below their Asian opponents.

West Indies lost Sunday’s opener by 48 runs to slip 1-NIL behind in the series and another defeat would see them go without an ODI win in a bilateral series in 12 months, following winless campaigns against England and New Zealand late last year.

Head coach Stuart Law said he was expecting an improved performance especially with the Windies aware of what was required.

West Indies paid dearly for several lapses in the opening ODI, both in the field and when they batted.
