BAN beat WI by 18 runs | Bangladesh vs West Indies, Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd ODI Match

The Bangladesh players are all smiles as they pose with the trophy. That's it from us. We hope we kept you fans in India awake and engaged throughout the series. These two sides now face-off in a three-match T20I series which begins on the 1st of August at the same venue at 0830 local (1230 GMT) before they head to Florida for the remaining two games. Join in for those games. Till then, goodbye and take care.

Bangladesh skipper, Mashrafe Mortaza, says cricket is a mental game. Adds they were very professional today. Ends by saying the boys are in good touch and they are looking forward to the T20I series.

Man of the Match and Series, Tamim Iqbal, says they did not have a great Test series. Further adds he has practiced hard and it has come off well. Admits he always tries batting long and it worked out. Ends by saying the wickets were not easy here and patience was the key.

Windies skipper, Jason Holder, says they struggled to put together a complete game. He felt 300 was a par score here and also, their bowlers were not up to the mark today. He admits they lost momentum in the middle. Credits the way Gayle played at the start and how Powell played towards the end. Congratulates Bangladesh for their win and says they were excellent throughout. Ends by saying they sill have a lot to learn but they take a lot of positives from this series.

Bangladesh were not at their best at the start with the ball. They leaked quite a few runs and even on the field. Skipper, Mashrafe Mortaza, was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with two wickets. He along with Mehidy Hasan bowled excellent lengths and didn't allow the Windies batsmen to get hold of them. Mustafizur Rahman was substantial in his initial spell but went for plenty towards the end. Shakib too did the job with the ball but didn't have wickets to show for it. In the end it was an all-round performance from the Bangla Tigers which helped them clinch the series.

Chasing anything above 300, you always need a good start and the openers provided exactly that. Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis got Windies off to a very good one. The former missed out on his ton but laid the foundation for others to chase down the target. There will be a few questions about the batting of Shai Hope as he never took off. He had two 50-plus stands with Chris Gayle and Shimron Hetmyer but not at the best of rates. The hosts then lost a couple of wickets and when everything seemed lost, Rovman Powell powered his way to a quick-fire fifty. He kept the flag waving for a brief time but didn't get enough support from the other end.

Bangladesh win the match and take the series 2-1. What a performance from the visitors. Shakib Al Hasan did mention they perform better in the limited-over format and they did exactly that. They could have sealed the series in the second match itself but they have done it today.

Mustafizur Rahman to Ashley Nurse. A dot to end! A forward defense I should write. On a length around off, kept out. Mortaza pumps his fist in joy, hugs all around, smiles in the dressing room as BANGLADESH WIN BY 18 RUNS!

Mustafizur Rahman to Rovman Powell. Shorter in length by Mustafizur. Powell tucks it around the corner for a run.

Mustafizur Rahman to Ashley Nurse. Brilliant stop by Rubel! He bowled a brilliant last over and is now contributing in the field as well. A short ball outside off, Nurse cuts it towards point. Rubel there dives to his right and makes a half stop. A run taken.

Mustafizur Rahman to Ashley Nurse. A dot! So that should surely be it unless the Fizz bowls a no ball or a wide. An off pace delivery on middle, Nurse swings blindly and he misses.

Mustafizur Rahman to Rovman Powell. Only a single! Is that the game for the Windies? One would feel so. A good change in length, a short ball on middle, Powell pulls it towards deep square leg but only a single results. 21 in 4 now.

Mustafizur Rahman to Rovman Powell. SIX! There is one of them! 4 more needed! Right in the arc. Full and on middle, Powell swings, he connects and when he hits it, it stays hit. Flies over the mid-wicket fence.

Rubel Hossain to Rovman Powell. Take a bow Hossain! He has bowled brilliantly in this penultimate over. Another yorker on middle and off, Powell can only get an inside edge to short fine leg. They take a run. 28 needed from the last over. Where is Carlos Brathwaite?

Rubel Hossain to Ashley Nurse. Pinpoint yorker. This over I think has won it for the visitors. Serves a yorker on leg, hit to mid on for one. 5 singles from 5 balls. Gold dust.

Rubel Hossain to Rovman Powell. Good stop! Saves a certain boundary for his side and it is an excellent over till now. Full ball outside off, Powell gets an inside edge towards the keeper who dives to his left and stops it with one hand. Single taken.

Rubel Hossain to Ashley Nurse. Yorker on off, cut to covers. They quickly change ends.

Rubel Hossain to Rovman Powell. Misses his yorker and dishes out a low full toss on leg, Powell swings and gives it on the bounce to long on. Just one more.

Rubel Hossain to Ashley Nurse. Full and around off, Nurse gets on one knee and slices it with some force along the turf to extra cover. Will get just one for it.
