The home side will look forward to returning to winning ways after a crushing defeat in which?? the entire batting line-up of the team collapsed to just 54 runs in 17 overs of the game chasing a target of 287 runs from Afghanistan.

The third T20I match between West Indies and Bangladesh is set to take place o??n December 20 at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent. This match is crucial for the West Indies as they look to salvage pride after losing the first two matches of the seri??es.

Bangladesh have dominated the series so far, winning both previous matches convincingly. In the second T20I, they posted a modest total of 129 runs, which was enough to secure a 27-run victory after bowling out the West Indies for just 102 runs. Key performances included Shamim Hossain Patwari, who scored 35 runs off 17 balls, and Taskin Ahmed, who took three wickets to dismantle the West Indies ba?tting lineup.

The West Indies have struggled with their batting consistency, with captain Rovman Powell being their top scorer in the series.? However, their middle order has failed to support him adequat??ely, leading to disappointing totals in both matches.

Bangladesh’s tour of West Indies 2024, 3rd T20I:

• Date: December 20, 2024: 12:00 am GMT/ 5:30 am IST/ December 19, 2024: 8:00 pm Local time
• Venue: Arnos Vale Ground, St Vincent

Arnos Vale Ground Pitch Report

The pitch at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent, is expected to favour bowlers, particularly spinners. Historically, this surface has proven challenging for batters, requiring them to play disciplined shots to score runs effectively. The average first innings score at this venue hovers around 135 runs, indicating that low-scoring matches are common. The pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses, which allows spinners to come into play after the initial powerplay overs. Fast bowlers can exploit early movement with the new ball, making it crucial for teams to set a solid foundation before accelera?ting later in the innings.

• Wicketkeepers:  Nicholas Pooran, Litton Kumar Das

The second ODI between South Africa and Pakistan comes at the backdrop of a convincing victory for the visitors in the opening match of the series. While the Proteas will look forward to win the match and keep the series alive, Pakistan will try its best to defeat the South Africans on their home soil once again and seal a series win. There will be several potential misses for the South African side for this match. David Miller has been ruled out due to a calf strain in the first ODI. Keshav Maharaj’s return to the squad is also uncertain. But Temba Bavuma is set to return after a much needed rest in the first ODI. In such a situation, Mohammad Rizwan’s men will ?try their best to hurt the South A??frican prospects.

Newlands Cricket Ground Pitch Report:

Historically, the pitch at Newlands Cricket Ground has supported spin bowling owing to the fact that many South Africa hail from Western Province, the home of this picturesque cricket ground. However, the recent Test encounter between India and South Africa on this ground proved out to be a heaven for pacers. Therefore, while the pitch is generally expected to be supportive of slow bowling, a surpris?ing twist is anticipated.

After a thriller in the first T20I between West Indies and Bangladesh, the two nations are set to face each other once again in the second T20I of the series. In the openi?ng match, Bangladesh outperformed the home side to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The backdrop of the contest has been a neck-to-neck tussle between the two sides in the Test series which ended in 1-1 draw. The Windies thrashed the Bangladeshi side in the ODI series with a 3-0 clean sweep for the former world champions.

West Indies vs Bangladesh

The win in the first T20I came as a breath of fresh air for the Bangladeshi side. The visiting side put up a total of 147 runs in 20 overs after the Windies won the toss and elected to bowl first. Soumya Sarkar‘s 43 off 32 balls was instrumental behind the Bangladeshi effort with the bat. Late contributions from Shamim Hossain (27 off 13), Jaker Ali (27 off 27) and Mahedi Hasan (26 off  24) also help-ed Bangladesh reach a respectable total. Chasing the total, the Windies fell short of the target by 7 runs, despite an emphatic knock from Rovman Powell of 60 runs in just 35 balls. Surprising the West Indies batters, the combined effort of the Bangladeshi bowling line-up proved detrimental for the West Indies with Hasan taking 4 wickets. Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud took 2 wickets each. The West Indies side have come up with an important announcement ahead of the clash against Bangladesh in the second T20I. The West Indies board has appointed former West Indies captain Daren Sammy as the head coach of the West Indies men’s team in all formats.
