West Indies vs Bangladesh 3rd T20I Highlights: Bangladesh win by 80 runs

Bangladesh defended totals of 147 and 129 in the first two matches. West Indies' top-order has failed to make an impact with Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran registering twin failures.

In both the matches, just three of their batters have got to double digits. For Bangladesh, Shamim Hossain played two handy knocks (27 off 13 and 35* off 17) lower down the order to take his team to a respectable total, which eventually turned out to be sufficient.

Short and wide on off, Nicholas Pooran hops and frees his arms to cut it through cover-point for the third boundary of the over. 14 runs off the over. The move to take Taskin off after just one over and bring Sakib into the attack did not work out well for Litton Das.

Taskin Ahmed to Brandon King, OUT! LBW! A loud shout and the finger is raised! Brandon King has a word with his partner and takes the review. The only factor that could save King is if the ball is doing too much. After getting the ball to shape away on the previous ball, Taskin brings this one back into the right-hander, on a length, on middle, Brandon King plants his front foot across to play the flick but his head falls over to the off side. Gets beaten on the inside edge and gets rapped on the front pad. No bat involved and the Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump. Taskin dismisses King for the third time in the series.

Welcome back. Bangladesh are in a huddle before they spread onto the field. Out come the West Indies openers - Brandon King and Johnson Charles in pursuit of a huge score. Taskin Ahmed will start with the ball for the visitors. Here we go!

…THE RUN CHASE…

07:22 (IST) Dec 20

Right then, the West Indies need to chase a record score of 190 to salvage some pride in the series. Can they do it or will Bangladesh make a clean sweep? Join us in a bit for the second essay.

07:20 (IST) Dec 20

Roston Chase is in for a chat. He says that the wicket is a lot better tonight. Feels that they have conceded a few runs too many but he backs the team to chase this down. Shares that Akeal Hosein is a vital player and not having him is a loss but cricket is a team sport and others must step up in his absence.

07:20 (IST) Dec 20

West Indies were below par with the ball and sloppy on the field. Romario Shepherd was the pick of the bowlers with 2/30 in his spell while Roston Chase and Motie also did a fair job. The home side leaked plenty of runs in the back half of the innings and this might come to bite them. 

07:18 (IST) Dec 20

25 runs from the final over propel Bangladesh to their highest score of the series by a far margin as they finish with 189/7 in their 20 overs. Opting to bat first, Bangladesh got off to a powerful start with Parvez Hossain Emon and Litton Das who added 44 inside the first five overs. Emon was the aggressor of the duo with 39 off just 21. A couple of wickets fell in quick time before Mehidy Hasan and Jaker Ali added a handy 37-run stand. Mehidy departed on 29 but Jaker Ali carried on and smashed an unbeaten 72 off 41 to take his side toward the 190-run mark.

Romario Shepherd to Tanzim Hasan Sakib, OUT! TAKEN! The ploy to go short finally pays off for Romario Shepherd! Slower bumper from Romario, outside off, Tanzim Hasan Sakib backs away and tries to flat bat this one over long on. Jayden Seales at long takes it over his head and takes one step too many towards the ropes. He manages to hold onto the catch but it is referred upstairs.

Romario Shepherd to Jaker Ali, NO BALL! On a good length, on middle, Jaker Ali walks across to scoop it over short fine leg but fails to get any bat on it. The ball rolls off his left pad and it rolls away on the off side for a leg bye. Nicholas Pooran looks convinced and wants Rovman Powell to take the review for LBW. However, Romario has overstepped. And guess what? Had it been a fair delivery and if a review was taken, Jaker was gone. The Ball Tracking shows three reds.
