(File Photo)BAN vs WI Live Cricket Score, Bangladesh vs West Indies 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Streaming Online: Shai Hope’s masterful 146 not out helped West Indies level the three-match ODI series and they now go to Sylhet with a possibility of securing a first ODI series win since 2014. Bangladesh won the first ODI by five wickets, chasing down a target of 196 with relative ease but they couldn’t defend a 256-run target in the thrilling 2nd ODI.
The situation was similar to when Bangladesh toured West Indies in July. It was Bangladesh who prevailed in the deciding third ODI then and they would be looking to repeat that feat in what is a crucial ODI series for both sides ahead of the 2019 World Cup.

Hello and welcome
The last time West Indies won an ODI series, Dwayne Bravo was captain and the likes of Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine were pretty much regulars in the limited overs setup. Bravo was a Test regular and West Indies were a force to be reckoned with in ODIs and T20s. Hence, them beating Bangladesh 3-0 at home was no surprise. Then came the fall. Players bickered with the board and before you knew it, West Indies were incapable of winning anything, home or away. But the last couple of years have shown signs that they may have found a new generation of players capable of making the team claw their way back. They had put themselves on the brink of a series win in India and the same is the case here.
