The 3rd match of the Bangladesh vs West Indies T20I series is underway and already packed with action. Taskin Ahmed, the 29-year-old pacer has undoubtedly been a beast of a bowler for Bangladesh in this series and proved to be a destructive spear in the third T20I as well.

The right-arm fast bowler has bagged five wickets in the series already and weaved his magic for the sixth time in the current match against West Indies. Ahmed successfully dismissed Brandon King in this match, marking the third time he has done so in the series. The bowler was apparently pleased with his spell and couldn't help but had a cheeky laugh as he sent King off the field.

Ahmed Traps Brandon King For A Duck

In the second ball of the very first over, Taskin Ahmed delivered a length ball that angled into the right-handed batter, Brandon King, who tried to play a flick shot by planting his front foot across. 

However, King missed the inside edge, and the ball hit his front pad. There was no bat involved, and the ball tracking revealed three reds, indicating the ball would have crashed into the leg stump.

Having dismissed him for the third time in the series, Ahmed had a hearty laugh and celebrated joyously with his teammates as Brandon King walked back for a duck.

Bangladesh Dominate The Windies In Kingstown

In the match, Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first. Opener Parvez Hossain Emon and Mehidy Hasan Miraz notched up a good total for the team. However, Jaker Ali's 72 off 41 in the middle pushed Bangladesh's score to a challenging total of 189 runs. Romario Shepherd was the pick of the bowler for the Windies with his 2-30.

Coming in to chase, Powell and Co. was not looking good. At the time of writing, they have suffered with the middle and the top order getting crumbled by Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, and Hasan Mahmud. Only Johnson Charles offered some resistance at the top order however, he soon succumbed to Mahmud leaving West Indies reeling at 46-5 at the end of 6.5 overs.
