Hello and welcome to our coverage of the three-match T20I series between the West Indies and Bangladesh from the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingston, St Vincent. After making a clean sweep of the one-dayers, the home will try to replicate a similar effort in the game's shortest format. Rovman Powell continues to lead the side in this format with Nicholas Pooran, Akeal Hosein, Johnson Charles, and Obed McCoy joining the side for the T20Is and will be looking to make a significant impact for the home side. The West Indies last played a T20I series against England in November and lost by a 1-3 margin. The home side will look to put that behind them and start on a positive note.

...MATCH DAY...

The Bangladesh tour of the West Indies has reached its final chapter, and the stage is set for an electrifying three-match T20I series. After a gritty 1-1 draw in the Tests and a dominant 3-0 ODI sweep by the Windies, both sides will be eager to leave their mark in the shortest format. The Arnos Vale Stadium in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is ready to host the opening clash, with fans expecting a thrilling battle. The West Indies come into this series riding high on confidence but with unfinished business in T20Is. They were outclassed at home by England in their last series and will be desperate to set the record straight. Nicholas Pooran has been nothing short of sensational, smashing sixes for fun and surpassing Chris Gayle's record for most T20 sixes in a calendar year. Brandon King is in fine touch, but his opening partner - be it Andre Fletcher ​​​​​or Johnson Charles - needs to fire. Skipper Rovman Powell has had his ups and downs, but the likes of Keacy Carty and the red-hot Justin Greaves add depth to their batting lineup and both could be in line to make their debuts. All-rounders Romario Shepherd and Roston Chase bring balance to the side, while Alzarri Joseph’s fiery pace and Obed McCoy’s clever variations form a lethal pace attack. The spin duo of Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie could prove decisive on home soil. Bangladesh, however, will be hungry to bounce back after a heartbreaking ODI series. Soumya Sarkar has been in scintillating form, fresh off his heroics in the Global Super League T20. Skipper Mehidy Hasan, along with Litton Das and Jaker Ali, will anchor the batting, but this is also a chance for rising stars like Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan to shine. Taskin Ahmed was a standout in the Test series, and Bangladesh will hope he carries that momentum into the T20Is. Hasan Mahmud and Tanzim Hasan Sakib bolster the pace attack, while the towering leg-spinner Rishad Hossain could be the X-factor. Will the Bangla Tigers roar back to life, or will the Windies continue their winning spree? It’s all set for an explosive start - who are you backing?
