Bangladesh
Bangladesh come into this final T20I with the support of home conditions and a sense of urgency to close out the series. Their batting line-up features aggressive options in the top-order and a spin attack that suits Bangladesh pitches. Capitalising on momentum from earlier matches will be key.

Match Prediction
Given home advantage and spin-friendly conditions, Bangladesh are marginal favourites to take the series in this final T20I. If Bangladesh bat first and post a strong total, their spin attack should make it difficult for West Indies. Prediction: Bangladesh to win by 4-6 wickets or 20-30 runs if defending.
Fantasy Tips
- Confirm toss: If Bangladesh bat first, favour their top-order and spinners; if West Indies bat first, adjust accordingly.
- Pick at least two spinners given venue conditions.
- Use all-rounders to maximise points from both departments.
- Avoid heavy reliance on unfamiliar West Indies bowlers in home conditions.
- Monitor final XI and last-minute changes before locking your team.
