PLAYER OF THE MATCH : Evin Lewis

Bowler
So, if you love drama and controversy, this was an encounter you would have absolutely enjoyed. But this match should be remembered for the brilliance of Evin Lewis and Keemo Paul and not for the dodgy umpiring. Howlers from the umpires are a part of the modern game despire DRS but it's fair to say that no-ball decisions today were very very ordinary. Let's get back to cricket and Windies were the better team in the series and they deserved to win it. That's it from all of us, hope you would have enjoyed our coverage. This is Varun Dixit taking leave in the company of Abhinand Raghavendran, Kumar Abhisekh Das and Harish Vootaguru.
Carlos Braithwate, winning skipper: I am very happy. We wanted to be aggressive and we wanted to be positive. In all the three matches, we have batted really well. We made 80 odd in two T20 matches in the powerplay. So, if we show intent, we can get a very good start more often than not. Keemo is a very very talented cricketer, he is probably one of the most skilled cricketers across the world despite his young age. As a bowling unit, we were not happy with the way we bowled in the second match. And we had a serious discussion about it. We have had a lot of positives in this series. We need to win games, we need to win series, we are a champion team.
Shakib, Player of the Series and losing captain: The way we came back with the ball was terrific. I think it was 180 runs wicket. With the bat we were not sure how to go about our business. We had a terrific start but kept losing wickets. So many players stood up in this series, Liton with the bat and Mehidy with the ball. We were good in most areas but we need to improve in few areas.
Evin Lewis, Man of the Match: I am quite used to it (ground), I played for Dhaka for two years. I wanted to keep it simple, get the team off to a good start and that's what I did. It (win) was important, missed out on the ton, but the team is more important.
20:38 Local Time, 14:38 GMT, 20:08 IST: Windies win by a safe margin of 50 runs but this match has been nothing short of a thriller. Windies posted a total of 190 and Bangladesh had a fabulous start courtesy Tamim and Liton. Tamim departed and all the responsibility came on his partner, Liton. Then came a phase where Oshane Thomas bowled a flurry of no-balls, the first two were called correctly but the the last two were due to dodgy umpiring. Liton was caught on one of the no-balls and that triggered a huge controversy. Skipper Brathwaite asked for a review but he was declined. This controversy united the Windies team and they came back with vengeance on their mind. The huddle where the skipper spoke lifted their spirits and it all went upwards for them post that. After this, Bangladesh crumbled. They lost wickets at regular intervals and basically committed harakiri to fritter away a golden chance to win the series. Eventually, they fell short by a huge margin of 50 runs. Hang on for the presentations.

Brathwaite to Mustafizur, out Bowled!! Middle-stump goes for a toss and look at Brathwaite, he is pumped! He punches the air arrogantly! Windies win the match by 50 runs and take this T20 series 2-1 ! It was a yorker on the stumps, Mustafizur backs away a long way and then tries to make contact by stretching his bat, ends up putting no bat and it shatters the middle stump. Mustafizur b Brathwaite 7(7) [6s-1]
Brathwaite to Mustafizur, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Cottrell to Abu Hider, no run, good length delivery outside off, misses the steer and it thuds into the gloves of Hope
Cottrell to Abu Hider, no run, moves across to the off-side and wanted to hoick it wide of the keeper, misses and Windies have asked for a review. Oh dear! There is a HUGE gap between the bat and the ball. Safe to term it as an ambitious review!
Cottrell to Mustafizur, leg byes, 1 run, slower delivery down the leg-side, it clips his pads and deflects to fine leg
Cottrell to Mustafizur, no run, short of length delivery outside off, Mustafizur wanted to cut, fails to put any bat to it
Cottrell to Mustafizur, no run, attempted yorker goes wrong, it ends up being a full-toss and Mustafizur defends it back
Mustafizur Rahman, left handed bat, comes to the crease
Cottrell to Mehidy Hasan, out Caught by Fabian Allen!! A cute little innings from Mehidy Hasan comes to an end. It was a slower bouncer, Mehidy Hasan attempted a pull shot. It bounces a touch extra and that produces the top-edge. It only went as far as backward point where Fabian Allen takes it without much fuss. Mehidy Hasan c Fabian Allen b Cottrell 19(19) [4s-1 6s-1]
Cottrell to Mehidy Hasan, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
