WI vs BAN: West Indies' Predicted Playing XI Against Bangladesh, 3rd T20I

West Indies face Bangladesh in the third and final T20I in Guyana on July 8 in a bid to win the T20I series. The final game will be the decider after the first T20I was washed out and West Indies won the second. The game thus presents a must-win situation for both teams for likable results.

West Indies won the second T20I by 35 runs after scoring 193/5 batting first. Bangladesh reached only as far as 156/6 in their quest to chase down the total. Windies skipper Nicholas Pooran spoke about putting the opposition bowlers under pressure. He also lauded his own bowlers for putting up a good defense of the big total.

“We wanted to put their bowlers under pressure. It’s a template we’d like to work on. The bowlers from both teams bowled well, they used the pitch well. Akeal read the pitch. Bangladesh’s spinners bowled well too” Pooran said.

West Indies should ideally field the same playing XI that played the second T20I. However, there are reports of Alzarri Joseph’s workload being managed and that he might be rested from the decider.

WI vs BAN: West Indies’ Predicted Playing XI Against Bangladesh, 3rd T20I

Brandon King

King scored 57 in the second T20I and gave his team a good start. He will need to replicate his form in the final T20Iin Guyana.

Kyle Mayers

Mayers scored 17 from just nine deliveries and was dismissed early in his innings. He would like to make up for it in the final T20I.

Shamarh Brooks

Brooks was dismissed for a duck in the second T20I. He too would be eyeing to make up for his lost opportunity in the second T20I.

Nicholas Pooran (C/WK)

Pooran scored a crucial 35 and played a good hand in the middle-order to take his side over 190. He needs to repeat his good form in the final T20I as well.

Rovman Powell

Powell blasted 61 off 28 balls with six sixes decimating the Bangladesh bowlers. He is key to West Indies winning the decider and needs to fire again.

Romario Shepherd

The all-rounder scored three with the bat but made up with the ball with two wickets. He will need to score some crucial runs in the third T20I.

Odean Smith

Smith at seven lengthens the Windies batting line-up to some extent. He was unbeaten on three in the second T20I and took a wicket with the ball.

Keemo Paul

Paul did not get his chance with the bat and bowled just one over. He would want to get more opportunities with both bat and ball in the decider.

Akeal Hosein

Hosein bowled an economical spell taking a wicket and giving away just 27 runs. He is a handy option with the bat too, lower down the order.

Obed McCoy

McCoy had a good game in the second T20I taking two wickets for 37 runs. He would like to continue his rich vein of form since the IPL.

Hayden Walsh

Walsh concludes the likely playing XI of West Indies for the third and final T20I against Bangladesh. They are going in with a five-man bowling attack with two spinners and three seamers with Paul and Powell as backup bowling options.
