In the first T20I, West Indies posted 165-3, thanks to Rovman Powell’s unbeaten 44 off 28 balls, before bowling out Bangladesh for 149. Romario Shepherd starred in the second match, scoring 13 off 16 and taking 3-29, to help the visitors win by 14 runs. In the third T20I, Shepherd became the second West Indies player after Jason Holder to take a hat-trick, while twin fifties from Roston Chase and Ackeem Auguste helped West Indies win the match and complete a 3-0 series clean sweep.
This whitewash by the West Indies is a reversal of fortune from their last meeting in December last year, when Bangladesh achieved the same 3-0 result against them. That victory marked Bangladesh's first overseas three-match T20I series whitewash against a Full Member nation.
The win was a relief for the West Indies, who had lost seven out of eight T20I series previously. For Bangladesh, who arrived with a four-bilateral series winning streak, the defeat is a tough one to take.
In the latest ICC men's T20I team rankings, West Indies hold sixth place with a rating of 237. They are followed by Pakistan (233) in seventh and Sri Lanka (230) in eighth. Bangladesh are ranked ninth with 223 rating points. At the top, India and Australia – currently contesting a five-match T20I series – occupy first and second place respectively.
