West Indies vs Bangladesh, 3rd T20I Match Summary

After a rollercoaster series, the West Indies’ hopes of remaining unbeaten across all formats have been dashed. The Test series ended 1-1, and while the Windies dominated Bangladesh with a 3-0 whitewash in the ODIs, the tables have turned in the T20Is. The visitors have already clinched the series 2-0 with one game to spare, handing the hosts a bitter lesson in resilience and consistency. Chasing modest totals has exposed the cracks in the Windies’ batting lineup. Despite having explosive hitters like Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, and Nicholas Pooran - who leads the charts for most sixes in T20s this year - it was Roston Chase and Akeal Hosein who top-scored in the second match. That’s a worrying sign for the home side. On the brighter side, the bowling attack has been a revelation. Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy, and Romario Shepherd have been exceptional with pace, while Gudakesh Motie’s left-arm spin has kept the opposition on their toes. For Bangladesh, this series has been all about grit and determination. Winning the first two matches from tough situations shows how far they’ve come. Shamim Hossain has stepped up as a dynamic finisher, delivering crucial runs down the order. Mehidy Hasan and Jaker Ali have been consistent rocks in the middle order, while skipper Litton Das is due for a big contribution. However, they will miss the services of Soumya Sarkar in this game which could give an opportunity to Tanzid Hasan or Parvez Hossain Emon to shine at the top. The bowling attack has been sharp, with Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, and Hasan Mahmud forming a potent pace trio, complemented by Mahedi Hasan’s six wickets with his clever spin. As we head into the final showdown, the stakes are high. Will Bangladesh seal an emphatic 3-0 sweep and roar with pride? Or will the Windies rally to salvage some honor in front of their home fans? We will find out soon.
