Toss Prediction
This will be the first-ever one-day international played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The pitch at this ground is expected to be good for batting at the start but it should offer more assistance to the bowlers as the match wears on. So the toss-winning skipper may elect to bat first here.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Bangladesh will probably stick with the same bunch of eleven despite facing defeat in the last game. Mashrafe Mortaza, Rubel Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman will form the team's pace attack while Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan and Mahmudullah will comprise the spin bowling contingent. None of the players were reported to be injured at the time of writing.
BAN Key Players
Mushfiqur Rahim seems to be hitting top form at the moment. The wicketkeeper-batsman has cracked half-centuries in both the matches (an unbeaten 55 in the first and 62 in the second) and Bangladesh will want him to keep up the good work. Opener Liton Das struck 41 in the first game while his partner Tamim Iqbal is coming off a fifty. Shakib Al Hasan has scored 95 runs in the series and the team's middle-order batting will depend heavily on him. He will also have a major role to play with the ball in Sylhet. The Windies have struggled to score off him and the left-arm spinner is likely to do well once again. Mustafizur Rahman has picked five wickets so far and he together with skipper Mashrafe Mortaza, who troubled the tourists in the series opener, are the main threats in this Bangladeshi pace attack.
BAN Recent Form
Bangladesh went into the last game on the back of four consecutive ODI wins but their winning run came to an end as they faced a four-wicket loss. After putting up a clinical performance in the opening game, the hosts showed signs of complacency the other day. They dropped as many as three catches in the field and that cost them the game. The Bangladeshi pacers, who were outstanding in the first ODI, were also not quite up to the mark last time.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Imrul Kayes, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mehidy Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain
West Indies Team News & Playing 11
WI Team News
West Indies tried out a new opening combination in the last game - they dropped Kieran Powell and brought in Chandrapaul Hemraj who opened the innings with Shai Hope. Although Hemraj did not contribute much with the bat, the visitors might give him another opportunity to secure his place in the side. The Windies are coming off a win and so they are unlikely to make changes in their line-up for this series decider.
WI Key Players
Shai Hope has by far been the pick of the batsmen for the West Indies. The opener scored 43 in the first ODI and then starred with an unbeaten 146 off 144 balls in the last match to power his team to victory. While he is definitely the key man in this batting group, the Windies will also require sizeable contributions from Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels at the top. Shimron Hetmyer, after two quiet outings, will be expected to step up in this crunch game. Kemar Roach and Oshane Thomas will be spearheading the pace attack and West Indies will be banking on these two for the early breakthroughs. Thomas claimed impressive figures of 3-54 last time out and it will be crucial for the team that he continues to bowl well. Devendra Bishoo has been economical and the leg-spinner will look to build pressure on the hosts in the middle overs.
WI Recent Form
West Indies would have been relieved after winning their first game on their tour of Bangladesh. They have now won eight out of the seventeen one-day internationals they have played this year. The Windies did well to bounce back in the series after a poor showing in the opening game. For the first time on this tour, they put up a good batting performance and that should make them feel more confident heading into this final ODI.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
Chandrapaul Hemraj, Shai Hope (wk), Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell (c), Roston Chase, Keemo Paul, Kemar Roach, Devendra Bishoo, Oshane Thomas
