WI vs BAN Match Prediction & Analysis
Bangladesh winning a T20I series away from home is not something which happens regularly but their two victories in the opening two games have given them only their fourth away series win in 17 attempts!
For West Indies, it is a case of back to the drawing board once again. They are a team who have had so many false dawns over the years but they really struggle to find consistency across all formats at the same time.
TEAMS PREVIEW
West Indies Preview
In Tuesday’s second game of the series at the Arnos Vale Ground, West Indies seemed to have given themselves an excellent chance of levelling the series when they reduced Bangladesh to 129/7 from their 20 overs.
Romario Shepherd, one of the host’s most reliable white ball bowlers, was the only member of the attack to go wicketless and Obed McCoy was the only one to have a bowling economy of over 9.00.
In this game, we expect the spin-twins, Gudakesh Motie and Akeal Hosein, to get plenty of turn and to be a threat throughout with the ball. Batting wise, Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran contributed only 13 runs between themselves in the second T20I but they are likely to be the most important batters in this game.
Bangladesh Preview
There is so much confidence running through this Bangladesh T20I side that even a poor effort with the bat was not enough to knock them off their stride in the last game.
The top two, Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar, will both be keen to improve on a poor return in Tuesday’s T20I and both have strong international records to fall back on. There could also be a promotion up the batting order for Shamim Hossain who not only impressed with 35 not out from number eight but did it from only 17 balls.
With the ball, the entire attack were excellent in terms of keeping the runs down and pace bowler Taskin Ahmed stood out with his figures of 3/16. Once again, there are plenty of match-winners with the ball for Bangladesh, ready to step up!
Weather Conditions
The forecast is for very humid conditions throughout this game on Thursday evening in Kingstown. It will be cloudy from start to finish with the temperature staying around 26 degrees.
WI vs BAN Pitch Report
After the first game of the series yielded 287 runs, the second match saw that total drop to 229! We do not expect a run-fest in this final T20I with a par total likely to be no higher than 140.
Toss: To Bat
This pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses so we are predicting that both captains will go out to the middle for the toss with the intention of batting first.
