Bangladesh and West Indies are facing each other in the decisive ODI of the three match series, at St Kitts. The Tigers won the first ODI by 48 runs before the Caribbean side squared the series with a narrow 3-run win in the second.

While Bangladesh have decided not to tinker with their paying XI, West Indies have opted for two changes. Alzarri Jospeh, who has been sanctioned by the ICC for the send-off of Anamul Haque, has been replaced by Sheldon Cottrell. Kieran Powell, on the other hand, came in as a replacement for Jason Mohammad.

Bangladesh have won the toss and chose to bat.

Unlike the previous match, Anamul Haque took a cautious approach as both the openers kept rotating the strike. However, the right-hander had to depart in the last over of the powerplay after attempting a pull shot in a short delivery off Jason Holder. He scored only 10 runs in 31 deliveries before returning to the pavilion.

Tamim Iqbal is currently at the crease, on 23 runs. He will look to stitch a good partnership with Shakib Al Hasan to set the stage for fightable total for Bangladesh.

 

Bangladesh – 38/1 (11 overs)
