Pitch Report | Nikhil Uttamchandani and Carlos Brathwaite: If the wind continues from the east, we won't see dew tonight. Batters will want to use that wind to hit into slightly bigger boundaries - 2m difference in square boundaries. Run-scoing requires serious skill. Same surface. The first T20I - little bit of grass on this pitch. Today, it's barren, there's a solitary patch on the wicket and will make scoring even more difficult. Shamim has shown you can hit boundaries and be a game-changer.
Nicholas Pooran: It's all about taking responsibility - every single batter. We've rushed a bit. Once I get in, I try to go as deep as possible. Looking forward to a start and hopefully I get one tonight. It's challenging, I want to keep improving as a batsman. Just trying to prioritize myself to ensure that I play as long as possible. Looking forward to finishing the year with a win.

Rovman Powell: It's a case about us playing good cricket. Today provides an opportunity. The crowd have been brilliant, we have to give them a win tonight. Two debutants for us - Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales.
Litton Das: We'll bat first. Looks like a good wicket to bat on. Very happy to be captain of this team, I am enjoying it. We won the series, but it's another international game against a good team. We want to perform as a team. Soumya isn't playing, Emon comes in.
Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to bat
19:00 Local Time, 23:00 GMT, 04:30 IST: The Test series was tied 1-1. The hosts completed a 3-0 whitewash in the 50-over format and the visitors have already sealed the T20I series with a game to spare. It's the final match of this Caribbean tour for Bangladesh. Hello everyone and a warm welcome to the third and the final T20I. Bangladesh defended totals of 147 and 129 in the first two matches. West Indies' top-order has failed to make an impact with Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran registering twin failures. In both the matches, just three of their batters have got to double digits. For Bangladesh, Shamim Hossain played two handy knocks (27 off 13 and 35* off 17) lower down the order to take his team to a respectable total, which eventually turned out to be sufficient. They'll also hope for an improved batting performance. Soumya Sarkar has been ruled out of this encounter due to finger injury. Will the bowlers continue to rule the roost in Kingstown? Can the two-time World Champions avoid a whitewash? Let's find out. Toss and team updates coming up in half an hour.
