West Indies Women Preview
West Indies Women have dominated the series with all-around performances. Hayley Matthews has led the side brilliantly, ensuring her team capitalizes on their strengths. Their batting lineup has been in excellent form, posting high scores consistently, and their bowlers have ensured that Bangladesh’s batters have no breathing space.
In the previous game, Qiana Joseph played a stunning knock of 63 off 36 balls, setting the platform for a mammoth total. Deandra Dottin’s quickfire 49 further propelled the score, while Hayley Matthews chipped in with 27. The lower middle order, consisting of Shabika Gajnabi, Jannillea Glasgow, and Zaida James, provides solid depth.
The bowling unit has been equally dominant. Cherry Ann Fraser (2/15) and Afy Fletcher (2/21) kept things tight, while skipper Matthews led from the front with 2/6 in two overs. With the series already won, West Indies Women may look to test their bench strength while still aiming for a whitewash.

Bangladesh Women Preview
Bangladesh Women have found themselves outplayed in both games, and captain Nigar Sultana will be desperate for her team to put in a better performance in this final encounter. Their batting has been underwhelming, failing to pose any real threat to the West Indian bowlers.
Their top order, comprising Sobhana Mostary and Dilara Akter, has failed to deliver, putting pressure on the middle order. Sharmin Akhter (22 runs) and Shorna Akter (16 runs) were the only batters to show some fight in the last match, but they need more substantial contributions from the entire lineup.
With the ball, Fahima Khatun was the pick of the bowlers with 3/38, while Rabeya Khan (2/26) and Shorna Akter (1/26) tried to provide some resistance. However, the attack has struggled to contain the aggressive West Indies batters. If they are to salvage anything from this tour, the bowlers must strike early and keep a tight leash on the run rate.
