WI vs BAN series 2022 live streaming channels
Due to the internal business conflict of the consortium with a couple of domestic TV channels, this time the BAN-WI series will not be shown on any TV channel in the country. Sadly, Bangladeshi cricket fans have to rely on foreign channels to enjoy the matches live.
Tiger vs. Caribbean cricket battle will be seen in Star Sports, Super Sports, and Sony. Besides, premium subscribers of Disney+ Hotstar can watch the series from Bangladesh.
As the digital platform has an agreement with Airtel, the Airtel customers will also get the opportunity to watch the Bangladesh vs West Indies series.
Verdict
The BAN vs WI series 2022 is equally important for the cricket profile of the two countries. Bangladesh last played a series against Sri Lanka at home. In the two-match Test series, Sri Lanka won one and drew the other. The West Indies, on the other hand, lost all three of their three-match ODI series against Pakistan.
At least from this side, Bangladesh can be said to be a little ahead. There is also the possibility of the Tigers winning the series, but a lot can happen on the cricket field. It is not impossible for the whole series to go in favor of the Caribbeans with their outstanding performance.
