DHAKA:

The three-match series is tied 1-1. The West Indies won the first match by eight wickets and then Bangladesh levelled the series with a 36-run victory in the second.

The tourists handed a T20 debut to batsman Sherfane Rutherford, in place of Darren Bravo — their only change from the second match. Bangladesh were unchanged.
