Predicting Bangladesh Playing XI for their third ODI against West Indies 

Predicting Bangladesh Playing XI for their third ODI against West Indies: The Bangladesh cricket team is all set to turn their fortunes against the hosts, the West Indies, in the third and final ODI game slated to take place on December 12 at Werner Park. Shai Hope and his men have won the series already with one game to spare and now aim to mark their whitewash against the Bangla Tigers. 

However, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Co. need to step up with their performance with the ball in the powerplays and death overs and batting in the middle order to avoid the clean sweep against the home team, who aims to find a direct spot in the 2027 ODI World Cup after missing 2023 in India.

West Indies completely outplayed Bangladesh in the second ODI game, having won the match with 79 balls to spare and seven wickets in hand. How the visitors mark their turnaround in this game will be intriguing.

Here’s the predicted Bangladesh Playing XI for the third ODI against West Indies:

Top Order – 

Tanzid Hasan will open the innings in the final ODI game. The 24-year-old cricketer has made 46 off 33 balls, featuring four boundaries and two sixes, but failed to save his side from defeat. Soumya Sarkar will be another opening batter from the side who will be looking to give a great start to his side in this game. The left-handed batter was dismissed for just two runs in the last game but might turn things around. He is a handy bowler as well.

The Bangladeshi wicketkeeper, Litton Das, will be batting at number three. The 30-year-old cricketer might pose a big threat to the hosts in this game.

Middle Order – 

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who is leading the side in the absence of injured Najmul Hossain Shanto, will bat at number four. The 27-year-old cricketer might step up in this game with both bat and ball to avoid a shambolic whitewash. On the other hand, Afif Hossain has made 24 runs alongside picking up one wicket in the second ODI game. He will be stepping up at number five and looking to deliver an all-round performance for the team.

Mahmudullah is a great middle-order batter from the Bangladesh side who will be batting in the sixth position. He notched the highest run in the second ODI game, hammering a crucial 62 off 92 balls.

Lower middle-order – 

Jaker Ali was just able to pile up three runs but might pose a big threat to Shai Hope and his men at number seven. Rishad Hossain has picked up one wicket in the last game of the series. He can bat as well in the lower order of the game.

Bowlers – 

Tanzim Hasan Sakib failed to pick up the wickets in the last game but chipped in crucial 45 runs in the second ODI game of the series. Shoriful Islam will be looking to crush the Windies’ batting lineup after failing to mark his impact in the rest of the two matches. The 21-year-old speedster, Nahid Rana, will be leading the pace attack of the team, having picked up one wicket in the last game.
