WI vs BAN Dream11 Prediction [Source: @ICC/x]
West Indies and Bangladesh will be crossing paths in the final match of the latter’s all-format tour to the Caribbean with the upcoming third T20I. The much-awaited contest will be hosted by the Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown and the action is slated to commence from 5:30 AM IST onwards on Friday, December 20. The visiting Bangladeshi team won the first two matches to seal the series with a game to spare.
Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
WI vs BAN 3rd T20I Preview
After losing successive T20I series to England and Sri Lanka, the West Indies cricket team also lost its home series to Bangladesh with defeats in the first two games. Earlier this year, the West Indies team failed to qualify for the semifinals of the 2024 T20 World Cup at home. In a bid to cap a disappointing T20I year on a positive note, the men from the Caribbean will be aiming to unleash their full forces in the impending dead-rubber.
Much will depend on captain Rovman Powell, out-of-form opener Brandon King and wicket-taking spinners Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie for the hosts to avoid a series whitewash at home.
Under the leadership of interim captain Litton Das, the Bangladesh cricket team shrugged off its nightmare tour of India and a disappointing T20 World Cup with stunning wins over West Indies at the latter’s home ground this month.
With series already in the bag and an ICC Champions Trophy on the horizon, the visitors will likely test their reserves in the upcoming match. Captain Das, however, will be looking to regain his lost touch with the bat as he is yet to crack a single notable innings this tour. Tanzim Hasan Sakib and leg-spinner Rishad Hossain will start out as some of the primary wicket-taking options for the visitors on the basis of their recent form.

Weather: According to AccuWeather, there is a high probability of some heavy rainfall around the Arnos Vale Stadium during the first couple of hours of the scheduled match time. However, prediction indicate that the weather will ease up for cricket at some point later in the evening. Fans can expect a delay and the match will likely turn out to be a truncated affair.
Pitch Report: Spinners will receive considerable assistance at the Arnos Vale Ground owing to the sluggish and slow nature of the playing surface. Fast bowlers can also dictate terms with the batters by making good use of their variations. Batters will be required to apply themselves to the crease before getting comfortable enough to score quick runs. The average first innings total at the venue in all men’s T20I matches this year has amounted to just 131. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to bat first, since no chasing team has won here in the past eight men’s T20I games.
