West Indies Women have already bagged the T20I series with a 2-0 lead and are ready to take on Bangladesh Women for the final battle of their tour. The 3rd T20I will be staged at Warner Park in Basseterre and will be held on February 1. The match is set to commence at 3:30 AM IST.
West Indies Women
West Indies Women will aim for a clean sweep as they take on Bangladesh Women in the third and final T20I of the series. Having already secured victories in the first two matches, the Caribbean side has displayed dominance with both bat and ball.
In the second T20I, Qiana Joseph’s explosive 63 off 36 balls and Deandra Dottin’s blistering 49 off 20 set the tone for a strong total, while their bowlers, led by Cherry Ann Fraser and Afy Fletcher, kept Bangladesh’s batters in check. With momentum on their side, West Indies Women will look to maintain their winning streak.
Bangladesh Women
Bangladesh Women will be eager to bounce back in the third T20I after struggling in the first two matches against a dominant West Indies side. Their batting lineup faltered in the second game, with only Sharmin Akhter (22 off 25) and Shorna Akter (16 off 15) showing brief resistance, while the rest of the batters failed to build partnerships.
The bowling unit also had a tough outing, with Fahima Khatun being the only standout performer, claiming 3 for 38. With the series already lost, Bangladesh will look to put up a stronger fight and end the series on a positive note by improving their batting depth and tightening their bowling attack.

How Will The Warner Park Pitch Behave?
The surface at Warner Park is now offering a balanced pitch, with early assistance for bowlers. The earlier two matches at Warner Park show the flow of runs on the pitch with bowlers equally dominating here. There have been modest-scoring matches here and as seen historically, the batters usually get more advantage in the second innings. Hence, the toss-winning captain would like to bowl here first and restrict the opposition within a small total.
