Third ODI preview

West Indies vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI at St Kitts

St Kitts: Bangladesh have wrapped up the three-match series by winning the first two matches and have a chance to complete a rare whitewash. West Indies will be kicking themselves for giving up the second ODI having had a good total to defend only to allow Bangladesh three crucial overs in their chase to seize the momentum.

West Indies will be aiming for a competitive effort to finish the series after they showed a marked improvement from the first ODI, but it's hard to see how Floyd Reifer can inspire.

Team news

West Indies: Travis Dowlin missed a Test century by a whisker and his maiden ODI century proved in vain as Bangladesh won by three wickets to clinch the series. With the impending return of the leading players, Dowlin's opportunities at this level could be limited. He's in form and has shown his capabilities against this attack.

Squad (probable): Devon Smith, Andre Fletcher, Travis Dowlin, David Bernard, Floyd Reifer (c), Devon Thomas (wk), Darren Sammy (vc), Rawl Lewis, Nikita Miller, Kemar Roach, Gavin Tonge.

Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal a powerful striker of the ball, Tamim will look to make a mark in the series against this West Indies attack. Tamim got a first-baller in game one, chasing a full-pitched delivery, and in the second his nervy innings of 29 was cut off by an enthusiastic fielder.

Squad (probable): Tamim Iqbal, Junaid Siddique, Mohammad Ashraful, Raqibul Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Naeem Islam, Abdur Razzak, Syed Rasel, Rubel Hossain.

Weather
It's forecast to be windy with scattered showers in the afternoon in Basseterre on Friday.
