You can also join us early for the build-ups. Until then take care and goodbye.

Tamim Iqbal the captain of Bangladesh is the Player of the Series! He says that they have always been a good side at home, but to get a series win away from home feels good. Adds that the conditons were not easy but they performed well. Mentions that they are missing out on some major players, but the other players really stepped up. Ends by praising Nurul Hasan and Nasum Ahmed for their performances throughout the series, and he is happy that Taijul Islam's stepped up when he was given the opportunity.

Nicholas Pooran the skipper of West Indies says they spoke about taking the game deep which they did, he felt like today was his day to score but he fell short of a few runs and it was disappointing. Mentions that it was difficult to bat but he felt he had to just be there, he does not stress on batting too much, he is confident about his batting unit, but it has been frustrating for the batting unit, but they will learn from this and get better.

Taijul Islam is the Player of the Match! He says that he is very fortunate to get an opportunity, he has been working hard and he is really happy he grabbed his opportunity. Mentions that he had no additional pressure, he just stuck to his plans and bowled in the right areas.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the innings, Bangladesh bowlers justified their skipper's decision of bowling first by taking three early wickets. They executed their plans really well and kept things tight throughout. Taijul Islam ended with a five-wicket haul. Nicholas Pooran was the only batter who stood out for the hosts. During the chase, Bangladesh were put under pressure in patches but they managed to get over the line to end the series on a high.

The hosts put up a solid fight but it wasn't enough against this experienced lot of Bangladesh batters. They only were able to take a single wicket inside the first Powerplay. Although, it was Gudakesh Motie who impressed with his four-fer in an economical spell. He dominated the proceedings in the middle overs and kept his side in the hunt. In the slog overs, West Indies bowlers were unable to keep things tight and eventually failed to get over the line.

The visitors started cautiously with Tamim Iqbal dominating the opening play, although Najmul Hossain Shanto never looked settled and departed early on. The skipper continued the good work with Litton Das on the other end. The latter racked up his half-century as well to ease down some pressure off his team. Several batters contributed to the victory, it was Mahmudullah who played a vital knock to get his side closer to the victory line. In the end, Mehidy Hasan and Nurul Hasan applied the finishing touches with their unbeaten stand of 32 runs.

Bangladesh extends their winning streak against West Indies in ODIs to 11 wins on the trot. They have also completed a clean sweep over West Indies in this ODI series. West Indies were bowled out in every single match in this series and they would be very disappointed about the same.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Tamim Iqbal and Najmul Hossain Shanto will open the batting for Bangladesh. Alzarri Joseph will begin the proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

For West Indies, it was only Nicholas Pooran! Had it not been for him, West Indies would have been dismissed for around 100 runs. After being put in to bat first, West Indies lost their top 3 batters within a blink of an eye. Post that, Keacy Carty and Nicholas Pooran put together over 50 runs and got things under control. However, Keacy Carty perished soon after a fine knock of 33 and since then West Indies were unable to build another stand. Romario Shepherd's cameo, in the end, helped West Indies get close to that 180 mark and has given his bowlers something to bowl at. But overall, it's been another disappointing effort with the blade. West Indies do face a tough task ahead. They will need something special to save this game and avoid a whitewash. Can they do so? We will find out. Stay tuned for the second essay.

Tamim Iqbal will be one happy man! His bowlers have once again justified his decision to bowl first. Also, bringing in Taijul Islam for the final ODI has done wonders for Bangladesh! He was certainly their trump card in this innings. The visitors started the innings on the right foot. They grabbed three early wickets and put West Indies under the pump instantly. However, post that they did let the hosts get away with a partnership. Although they made sure to keep a lid on the run-flow. Once they broke the stand between Nicholas Pooran and Keacy Carty, they kept picking wickets at regular intervals. Eventually, they bundled out West Indies for 178! Taijul Islam was certainly the leader of the pack. He ended with 5 wickets by his name, while Nasum Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman grabbed two wickets each.

Another day, another match, and another stupendous bowling display from Bangladesh! Nothing has changed so far in this ODI series. The story remains the same! Bangladesh winning the toss, electing to bowl first, and dismissing West Indies for a below-par score! They have once again used the conditions perfectly and demolished the batting lineup of the hosts. They do have an opportunity to whitewash West Indies in the 50-over format!

48.4W

OUT! CLEANED UP! Nasum Ahmed comes back strongly and grabs the final wicket. It is floated and full, around off. Romario Shepherd gets low and tries to heave across the line but misses. The ball goes through to shatter the stumps. West Indies get bowled yet again in this series. This time on 178.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Tamim Iqbal and Najmul Hossain Shanto will open the batting for Bangladesh. Alzarri Joseph will begin the proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

For West Indies, it was only Nicholas Pooran! Had it not been for him, West Indies would have been dismissed for around 100 runs. After being put in to bat first, West Indies lost their top 3 batters within a blink of an eye. Post that, Keacy Carty and Nicholas Pooran put together over 50 runs and got things under control. However, Keacy Carty perished soon after a fine knock of 33 and since then West Indies were unable to build another stand. Romario Shepherd's cameo, in the end, helped West Indies get close to that 180 mark and has given his bowlers something to bowl at. But overall, it's been another disappointing effort with the blade. West Indies do face a tough task ahead. They will need something special to save this game and avoid a whitewash. Can they do so? We will find out. Stay tuned for the second essay.

Tamim Iqbal will be one happy man! His bowlers have once again justified his decision to bowl first. Also, bringing in Taijul Islam for the final ODI has done wonders for Bangladesh! He was certainly their trump card in this innings. The visitors started the innings on the right foot. They grabbed three early wickets and put West Indies under the pump instantly. However, post that they did let the hosts get away with a partnership. Although they made sure to keep a lid on the run-flow. Once they broke the stand between Nicholas Pooran and Keacy Carty, they kept picking wickets at regular intervals. Eventually, they bundled out West Indies for 178! Taijul Islam was certainly the leader of the pack. He ended with 5 wickets by his name, while Nasum Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman grabbed two wickets each.

Another day, another match, and another stupendous bowling display from Bangladesh! Nothing has changed so far in this ODI series. The story remains the same! Bangladesh winning the toss, electing to bowl first, and dismissing West Indies for a below-par score! They have once again used the conditions perfectly and demolished the batting lineup of the hosts. They do have an opportunity to whitewash West Indies in the 50-over format!

PITCH REPORT -Stacy-Ann King is pitchside. She says that we are blessed with clear skies and sunshine. Adds that Bangladesh have used the conditions perfectly they have bowled in the right areas and have been rewarded. Informs that the pitch is firm and dry, with very less cracks and no moisture. It's still going to assist the spinners and the batters will find it tough once again.

Nicholas Pooran the captain of West Indies says it is a new day and a new opportunity. Mentions they would've liked to win the toss and would want to bowl first but as a team, they are going to accept this challenge. Mentions that they will try to dig deeper. Ends by saying they also only have a single change, Kyle Mayers misses out and Keacy Carty comes in.

Tamim Iqbal the skipper of Bangladesh says they are going to bowl first again, the reason is simple, batting is a little tough on this wicket. Adds that this wicket is still assisting the spinners and they just have to go with whatever they have on offer. Mentions they have one change to their side. Taijul Islam comes in for Shoriful Islam.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope (WK), Brandon King, Shamarh Brooks, Keacy Carty (In for Kyle Mayers), Nicholas Pooran (C), Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Keemo Paul, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tamim Iqbal (C), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan (WK), Mehidy Hasan, Mosaddek Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Taijul Islam (In for Shoriful Islam), Mustafizur Rahman.

TOSS -  Bangladesh have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first!

The hosts on the other hand have struggled to get going in the ODI series. Yes, things have not gone in their favour in terms of toss. But the hosts need their batters to pull their socks up in this final encounter. This is also the final opportunity in this series for West Indies to break their 10-match losing streak against Bangladesh in ODIs. You can hardly call this final game a dead rubber with so much stake. Stay tuned for the toss and team updates.
