Summary Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first against West Indies in the third T20 International.

LAUDERHILL (AFP) - Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan won the toss and chose to bat first against the West Indies in the deciding final fixture of their three-match T20 International Series at the Central Broward Stadium in Florida on Sunday.

Following a 12-run win in the second match on Saturday which levelled the contest, the Bangladeshis have retained the same team and will again be looking to Shakib and senior opener Tamim Iqbal to make significant contributions with the bat along with other experienced players Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah.

West Indies have made one change with the hard-hitting Chadwick Walton replacing the out-of-form Evin Lewis at the top of the order.

Teams:

West Indies: Carlos Brathwaite (captain), Andre Fletcher, Chadwick Walton, Marlon Samuels, Andre Russell, Denesh Ramdin (wicketkeeper), Rovman Powell, Ashley Nurse, Keemo Paul, Kesrick Williams, Samuel Badree.

Bangladesh: Shakib al Hasan (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (wicketkeeper), Mahmudullah, Ariful Haque, Nazmul Islam, Abu Hider, Rubel Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman.

Umpires: Gregory Brathwaite (BAR), Nigel Duguid (GUY).

Match Referee: Chris Broad.
