ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Ranking the batsmen of the 10 teams

#9- West Indies

West Indies v Ireland - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup

The West Indies have a lot of problems in their side and their top order is one of them. Shai Hope and Darren Bravo seem to be the only stable players in the team and even their fragility was proved when Bangladesh beat them. Kieran Powell as an opener looks like a doubtful starter while Shai Hope must open in order to accommodate Marlon Samuels in the team.

Despite having experienced names in the side, the West Indies batting order haven't proved themselves in testing circumstances and when compared with other teams, they stand below them in the rankings. Shai Hope will be one to watch out for but they need to prove themselves in the ongoing series against England where they will play 3 Tests, 5 ODIs and 3 T20Is.

#8 Bangladesh

2nd Momentum ODI: South Africa v Bangladesh

Bangladesh's top order seems to have set back into shape following Tamim Iqbal's return from injury, but the top order looks weaker when compared to that of the other teams. Liton Das' form as an opener seriously worries fans and whether he will be able to survive the fierce competitive environment of the World Cup is a big question.

Tamim is a world class player and so is Mushfiqur Rahim. Imrul Kayes at no.3 hasn't done much to convince people that he is the man for that spot and despite having many match winners in the side, Bangladesh are going to start as underdogs.
