This is the review of the 3rd ODI match between Bangladesh and West Indies of Digicel ODI series. Bangladesh defeated West Indies in the 1st match and 2nd match of this series and won the series. Prior to this Bangladesh Cricket team won the test series against West Indies on July 2009.

West Indies: 248/10 in 47.4 overs
Bangladesh: 249/7 in 48.5 overs

Toss: West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first.
Result: Bangladesh won by 3 wickets
Man of the Match: Mahmudullah Riad
Man of the Series: Shakib Al Hasan

West Indies' innings: West Indies batted well today. Even though the first wicket fell in the 1st legitimate delivery (1st ball= wide, 2nd ball= wicket) of the match, they looked really strong and looked like they will get a bigger score. But thanks to some good bowling they could not cross 250. Mahbubul Alam, Mahmudullah Riad and Abdur Razzak took 2 wickets each. Nazmul and Naeem took one. Even though Shakib couldn't take any wickets today, he was very economical (9.4-2-28-0-2.89).

Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Powell, 0.1 ov), 2-10 (Smith, 3.1 ov), 3-86 (Fletcher, 15.1 ov), 4-115 (Dowlin, 24.6 ov), 5-124 (Bernard, 27.1 ov), 6-188 (Reifer, 36.6 ov), 7-190 (Sammy, 37.6 ov), 8-221 (Miller, 42.5 ov), 9-244 (Roach, 46.5 ov), 10-248 (Tonge, 47.4 ov)

Bangladesh's innings: An excellent and exciting innings. Bangladesh started with a bang. Tamim and Junaid played attackingly. Junaid got a 50. Ashraful was looking good even though he got out scoring just 19. But I thought Mushfiq and Riad played the most important role in the batting line up today. West Indies should work on their fielding and also on team spirit. A lot of catches and run out chances were missed today. Roach took 4 wickets.
