Match Details:
The 3rd ODI of the three-match ODI series between Bangladesh and West Indies will be played at the Zahur Ahmed Choudhary Stadium in Chattogram.
The match is scheduled to start at 10:30 AM local time and 11:00 AM IST. It will be streamed live on FanCode.
Preview:
Given the startling inexperience of their team and the enormous experience of their opposition, it will be a bit harsh to criticise the young guns from West Indies for the position they are in right now. That being said, there cannot be any hiding from the fact that the current crop of Caribbean young talents have failed to challenge the Bangladeshis in any department.
In the first game, West Indies were bowled out for only 122, while they scored 148 runs in their second game. The Tigers chased the totals down without breaking much sweat on both the occasions, thereby winning the series. Now that the series is done and dusted, the West Indian cricketers should be able to play with a bit more freedom, while the hosts can also try out a few fresh faces.
