The third T20I match between West Indies and Bangladesh is set to take place on 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 series.
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 batting 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 adequately, leading to disappointing totals in both matches.

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 accelerating later in the innings.
