Watch Bangladesh Vs. West Indies Cricket Tri-Series Final Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, Live From Ireland


With the opening of the 2019 Cricket World Cup now just two weeks away, two of the dark horse teams in the tournament have a chance to adjust to playing under pressure when they square off with a trophy on the line in the final of a one-day international tri-series in Ireland.

According to ESPN, it is the Windies who have more work to do to prepare for their bid at a third World Cup title. In two losses to Bangladesh in the tri-series so far, the West Indies batting, bowling, and fielding games all lacked discipline. But they have a chance to correct those flaws in the ODI match that will live stream from Malahide.

To find out how to watch a live stream of Ireland tri-series championship final between the Bangladesh Tigers and West Indies, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. First ball is scheduled to be bowled for 10:45 a.m. Irish Daylight Time on Friday, May 17, at 11,500-seat Malahide Cricket Club Ground in Malahide, Dublin, Ireland.

In Bangladesh, the live stream starts at 3:45 p.m. Bangladesh Standard Time on Friday, and within India, that start time will also take place on Friday, at 3:15 p.m. India Standard Time.

In an era when West Indies dominated international cricket, the coalition of Caribbean island nations won the first two Cricket World Cup tournaments, in 1975 and 1979, then made the final but lost to India in 1983. But the Windies have not returned to the World Cup final since, and in fact, have not won an ODI series of any kind since 2014, according to CricBuzz.

Here are the expected teams for the Ireland Tri-Series final, pitting Bangladesh against West Indies.

West Indies: 1. Sunil Ambris, 2. Shai Hope (wicketkeeper), 3. Darren Bravo, 4. Roston Chase, 5. Jonathan Carter, 6. Jason Holder (captain), 7. Fabian Allen, 8. Ashley Nurse, 9. Kemar Roach, 10. Sheldon Cottrell, 11. Shannon Gabriel.
