Third one-day international, Grenada:
West Indies 119-3 (24.1 overs) beat Bangladesh 118-7 (25 overs) Skipper Ramnaresh Sarwan led the Windies to a series whitewash |
West Indies beat Bangladesh by seven wickets in the third and final one-day international in Grenada to complete a 3-0 series whitewash. The match at St George's was reduced to 25 overs-per-side due to heavy overnight rain.
Bangladesh won the toss and batted first, making 118 for the the loss of seven wickets in their 25 overs.
Opener Devon Smith hit an unbeaten 39 as West Indies made 119 for three wickets with five balls to spare.
Smith and Chanderpaul shared a match-winning partnership of 55 off 64 balls before Chanderpaul fell for 24 just before the end.
But it was Dwayne Smith who was named Man of the Series after taking 3-24 from four overs to go with his match-winning 62 not out in the second game of the series.
Bangladesh slumped to 18-2 before captain Habibul Bashar made 42 off 45 balls.
He was eventually caught by Chanderpaul as Smith swept through the middle order and no other Bangladesh batsman managed to reach 20.
The only problem for West Indies was a hamstring injury suffered by paceman Tino Best, who had to leave the filed for medical attention and only bowled three of his allocated five overs.
