WI vs BAN 3rd ODI Match Prediction [Source: @windiescricket/x.com]

West Indies will lock horns with Bangladesh in the third and final match of the series on Thursday, December 12 at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts. The home side has already bagged the series and will be hungry for a clean sweep whereas the visitors will need something special to avoid going empty-handed.

West Indies

The second match was all about the West Indies. Their bowlers came out firing, knocking over Bangladesh for just 227. Jayden Seales was on fire, taking 4/22 in nine overs. He had the batters dancing to his tunes. Gudakesh Motie chipped in with two, while debutant Marquino Mindley, Romario Shepherd, Justin Greaves, and Roston Chase each grabbed a wicket.

With the bat, the Windies made it look easy. Brandon King led the charge with a classy 82. Evin Lewis played his part with 49, and Keacy Carty added 45. Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford finished the job with unbeaten knocks. They chased the target with eight wickets in hand and four overs to spare. The Windies will look to ride on the rich vein of form and effect a whitewash.

Bangladesh

For Bangladesh, it’s been a tough series. Mahmudullah was the lone warrior with a solid 62. Tanzid Hasan chipped in with 46, but the rest of the top order flopped. Afif Hossain got 24, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib added 45 late in the innings. But it wasn’t enough to put pressure on the Windies.

Their bowling didn’t help either. Nahid Rana, Rishad Hossain, and Afif Hossain picked up one wicket each. But the rest of the attack looked flat. Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Hasan Sakib were expensive and wicketless. They’ll need to pull up their socks if they want to make a game of it.
