Bangladesh has already bagged the T20I series 2-0 against West Indies after a gritty 27-run win in the second match. West Indies, meanwhile, have fallen short of their T20I firepower reputation and will look forward to winning the third T20I match at Arnos Vale Stadium on December 20 at 5:30 AM IST.

WI vs BAN 3rd T20I Preview: Bangladesh

The T20I series has been so far so good for Litton Das and Co. The Bengal Tigers have shown their full potential on-field, especially with the ball. Taskin Ahmed, Rishad Hossain, and Mahedi Hassan have been exceptional in this series and will likely continue their form as they torment the Windies.

Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, and Soumya Sarkar also contributed with the bat, although the captain, Litton Das has not yet found his rhythm. With the next match taking place on the same Arnos Vale Stadium pitch, we can expect another bowling banger from Bangladesh, with very few chances of them scoring high with the bat.

WI vs BAN 3rd T20I Preview: West Indies

To say the least, West Indies have not lived up to their reputation as a mammoth of the T20I format. Known for their explosive batting power, the Rovman Powell-led side have failed to impress. The openers and middle order have collapsed consecutively in both the T20I matches except for the skipper, Powell. Akeal Hosein, Obed McCoy, and Gudakesh Motie, however, have been decent with the ball. 

With the upcoming encounter, Brandon King, Johnson Charles, and Nicholas Pooran aim to lead the batting lineup with a solid score as the Windies seek to defend the series sweep.

WI vs BAN 3rd T20I Pitch Report: How Will Arnos Vale Stadium Surface Behave?

The Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown, St Vincent, is pretty famous for its slow and low pitch, which can be a real headache for batters. Fast bowlers might grab some early wickets with the new ball, but once the spinners come into play during the middle overs, they often take charge. With Bangladesh winning both matches on this pitch by batting first, the team winning the toss would also like to bat first given the pitch conditions have not withered.
