Bangladesh and West Indies are ready to clash in the third T20 international of the three-match series in Dhaka on Saturday. The match will be a decider after both teams managed to win one game each in the previous two encounters. In the series opener, it was the visitors who came out on top, courtesy sublime performances from Sheldon Cottrell and Shai Hope, whereas in the second match, it was the home side who made a grand comeback after securing an impressive 36-run win.
In the all-important match, Bangladesh will be depending on the likes of an in-form Liton Das and Shakib al Hasan to provide the platform from which other players can capitalise on, whereas in the bowling department, the onus once again will be on the likes of Mustafizur Rahman and Mahidy Hasan Miraz to provide timely breakthroughs.
On the other hand, the Caribbean giants will be depending on the likes of an in-form Shai Hope and Rovman Powell to contribute significantly with the bat in hand, whereas in the bowling department, the focus once again will be on the pacers to do bulk of the damage.
Key Players:
Shakib Al Hasan: 10.5 Cr
First in the list of key players features Bangladesh's captain Shakib Al Hasan. The 31-year-old had an outstanding time in the second T20I where he was clearly the difference between both sides. Al Hasan once again reminded cricket lovers why he is rated as the best all-rounder in the world as he scored 42

Key Players:

First in the list of key players features Bangladesh's captain Shakib Al Hasan. The 31-year-old had an outstanding time in the second T20I where he was clearly the difference between both sides. Al Hasan once again reminded cricket lovers why he is rated as the best all-rounder in the world as he scored 42 not out off 26 balls with the bat and claimed figures of five for 20 with the ball in hand on Thursday, which shows why he is the player you should have in your team for the all-important match on Saturday. Shakib, who is valued at 10.5 Cr, has played 71 T20Is for Bangladesh, where he has scored 1,471 runs and claimed 85 wickets.
Mahmudullah: 9 Cr
Second in the list of key players features Bangladesh's Mahmudullah. The 32-year-old has had a little impact in the series so far, but on Thursday, showed his class with a majestic 42 off just 21 balls and helped his team in posting a mammoth total of 211-4. It was a performance which showed why Mahmudullah is being rated as one of the trusted campaigners in the Bangladesh team rank. Therefore, Mahmudullah, who is valued at 9 Cr, might not prove to be a bad purchase overall for the Saturday's clash. The Mymensingh-born right-hander has represented Bangladesh in 75 T20Is, where he has scored 1,240 runs and claimed 28 wickets.
Rovman Powell: 8.5 Cr
Last in the list of key players features West Indies' Rovman Powell. The 25-year-old had a poor tour with the bat for the visitors, but showed his talent with a fighting half-century in the second T20I off just 34 balls. Therefore, going into the all-important match, Powell, who is valued at 8.5 Cr, might prove be a good purchase for your team. Powell has represented West Indies in 19 T20Is, where he has scored 202 runs at an average of 16.83.
