Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza insisted that they need to be at their best to clinch the three-match series against West Indies as the visitors will be geared up after leveling it on Tuesday.
The series-deciding third match will be played on December 14 at Sylhet. The Caribbean side defeated Bangladesh by four wickets to level the series, coming back from a five-wicket loss in the opening match.

“Winning the series with back-to-back victories has its advantages. In that case, the confidence-level would have been better. West Indies will be confident now. But we made comebacks in such situations before,” Mashrafe told reporters at the post match press conference.
“We’ll have to take the chance, since it’s our home game. We’ll have to try our best. There will be a little more dew [in Sylhet]. There was no dew here today,” said Mashrafe.
The game at Sylhet could turn out to be the last game for Masharfe at home and probably the last game of a golden generation on home soil as well.
The senior quintet of the Tigers comprising Mashrafe, Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mahmudullah Riyad made their 100th international appearance together in the second ODI.
