HIGHLIGHTS Bangladesh vs West Indies, West Indies in Bangladesh 3 T20I Series 2025, 3rd T20- Result, Scorecard

We are back. Alick Athanaze and Amir Jangoo have walked out to open for West Indies with Mahedi Hasan ready to bowl the first over of the chase.

... The Run Chase ...

With a relatively modest target of 152 runs, they seem well-equipped to chase it down without much trouble. However, Bangladesh will be determined to salvage some pride and avoid a whitewash.

Romario Shepherd of West Indies is up for a chat and he says that he was unaware of being on a hat-trick until he took the wicket, with Holder informing him afterward. Holder even jokingly told him to go for four wickets in four balls! Shepherd was thrilled to join the 'stump-breakers' club. He believes the target is chaseable, citing the team's past success in defending totals around 150.

The West Indies bowling attack was superbly disciplined, sticking to their plans and executing them to perfection. Every bowler played a crucial role, with Romario leading the charge by claiming three wickets. Jason Holder and Khary Pierre each picked up two wickets, while Akeal Hosein and Roston Chase chipped in with a wicket apiece, collectively restricting Bangladesh to a modest total.

Bangladesh got off to a steady start, managing 40 runs in the first six overs while losing just one wicket. Litton Das failed to make an impact once again, and Parvez Hossain Emon couldn't contribute significantly. A brief respite came in the middle overs when Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan put together a partnership, but it was short-lived as Saif's wicket fell at a critical juncture. Tanzid was the only batter who showed some application, but the rest of the lineup struggled, losing wickets at regular intervals.

Bangladesh's batting unit struggled once again, managing to post a modest total of 151 runs. Tanzid Hasan was the lone bright spot, while the rest of the batting lineup for the hosts failed to fire, ultimately resulting in a below-par score.

Bangladesh finishes with 151 runs on the baord!

TOSS - Success for Litton Das and Bangladesh at the coin flip. Das has elected to BAT first.

West Indies are poised to seal a series whitewash after winning the first two matches, with their top-order batting and sharp bowling attack giving them a strong foundation. Shai Hope is set to lead the batting charge, while Akeal Hosein and Romario Shepherd could prove crucial with the ball, especially in the Powerplay overs. Can Bangladesh pull off an upset and salvage some pride, or will the Windies dominate once again and leave them empty-handed? The final match promises to be an exciting showdown. Stay tuned for toss and team updates.

Flashes of brilliance have marked Bangladesh's series, but consistency has been elusive. While their bowlers have done a decent job, the batting unit has struggled to deliver. Tanzid Hasan's 61 was a highlight, but it wasn't enough to see them over the line against a target of 150. For Bangladesh to turn things around, its batting order will need to come together and show greater composure under pressure. A collective effort is crucial for them to start producing better results.

The stage is set for the final match of the Bangladesh vs West Indies T20I series in Chattogram, where the West Indies are looking to complete a series whitewash after winning the first two matches. Bangladesh, however, will be keen to bounce back and make a statement. 

... MATCHDAY ...

The third and final T20I between West Indies and Bangladesh now serves as a dead rubber, with the West Indies having already sealed the series 2-0 after a hard-fought 14-run victory in the second match. This win was set up by a formidable batting display from Alick Athanaze and captain Shai Hope, whose record 105-run partnership rescued the team from an early setback. Despite a dramatic collapse that saw them lose eight wickets for just 43 runs in the latter half of the innings, West Indies managed to post a challenging target of 150. Bangladesh's bowlers, particularly Mustafizur Rahman (3/21) and Nasum Ahmed (2/35), ensured the total remained within reach, but the damage had been done by the West Indies top-order. Bangladesh's chase began poorly, lacking the boundary-scoring fluency needed in the powerplay, a stark contrast to their opponents' performance. Opener Tanzid Hasan played a valiant lone hand, but the lack of substantial support from the middle-order batters proved fatal. The pressure mounted, leading to a significant collapse in the final overs as the required run rate soared. While Jaker Ali's struggle to find the boundary was highlighted, the collective failure of the batting unit to build partnerships ultimately led to them falling short, managing only 135/8. The West Indies bowling attack, despite the team's poor fielding performance on the day, was excellent in taking wickets at crucial moments. Akeal Hosein and Romario Shepherd both claimed three wickets each, dismantling the Bangladesh chase. Hosein's performance was particularly notable as he became the West Indies' all-time second-highest T20I wicket-taker, surpassing Dwayne Bravo. Jason Holder also chipped in with two wickets, rounding out a dominant display from the bowlers who capitalized on the poor shot-making from the Bangladesh batters to secure the series. With the series already won, the third T20I offers West Indies a chance to go for a clean sweep and potentially test their bench strength, while Bangladesh will be desperate to salvage some pride and avoid a whitewash in front of their home crowd. They need their star players to fire collectively, both with the bat and the ball, to prevent another defeat. The match promises to be another competitive affair, with Bangladesh aiming to learn from their mistakes and West Indies looking to finish the tour on a high note.
