With three wins under their belts in the limited overs series, the West Indies will turn to their lone T20 clash tonight against Bangladesh at Warner Park in St Kitts, looking to continue their winning ways.The home team has completely dominated the visitors thus far, taking the Dhaka Bank Cup 3-0. They sealed the deal on Monday with a 91-run win after a brilliant record breaking innings off 169 by Denesh Ramdin. The wicketkeeper/batsman will be in the T20 team tonight facing the Tigers but his accomplice Darren Bravo, who got 124 in the third match, will be on a flight home, after not making the cut for the T20 team.
Yesterday, the new additions to the team had a training session at Warner Park and they too will be anxious to get at the Bangladeshis, who had suffered with the bat on tour so far. Darren Sammy will lead the team and will have on board the West Indies Test captain Denesh Ramdin and the West Indies ODI captain Dwayne Bravo.Ramdin speaking about the upcoming game said: "We recently played CPL matches here and most of the guys if not all in the squad have experience of playing at this small venue. We are coming off three wins and those new players would be looking to join in and account for another win as well. We have a very good T20 team and we are confident of continuing the winning ways leading up to the two Test matches later on in the series."
The Bangladeshis do not have a proud record in T20 cricket but would take heart from the fact that their batting improved in the last ODI. Their bowling was slaughtered on the small ground but their players would have gained some experience in playing at the venue.Match time is 8pm and a much bigger crowd is expected to show for this match, than what was seen for the third ODI.
