West Indies batsmen are facing the Bangladesh bowlers in their third and tour-ending ODI match at Providence Stadium in Guyana today (July 16).

Earlier, Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal won the toss and asked West Indies to bat first on slow and turning stadium.

The Tigers made just once change for the game which turned out be dead rubber after the visitors took an unassailable 2-0.

They in fact bolstered their spin department, bringing in left-arm spinner Taijul Islam, in the place of pacer Shoriful Islam. Spinners so far delivered Bangladesh last two victories with offspinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed providing the impetus.

After confirming the series, captain Tamim Iqbal wanted to test the bench strength and hinted at sweeping changes to the squad but coach Russell Domingo dismissed the notion, saying that Bangladesh won't make many changes despite confirming series.

The Wednesday's victory in the second game not only sealed the three-match ODI series but also extended Bangladesh's winning streak against West Indies to 10 straight matches. It was Bangladesh's fifth consecutive bilateral ODI series win.
