Had West Indies beaten Bangladesh as they were expected to in the ODIs,
the one-off Twenty20 international would have been more of an
exhibition. Now, because Bangladesh won
the one-dayers 3-2, the fixture will have added significance for the
visitors. Their captain Darren Sammy said the T20 was West Indies'
chance to finish this tour on a high.
Bangladesh will also want to end the year on a positive note. The ODI
series triumph will have given them confidence, but they face a
difficult task because they have struggled in the shortest format. And
West Indies are the world champions in T20 cricket. Bangladesh had
prepared extensively ahead of the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, playing
tournaments in several countries between June and September just to get a
hang of the game
West Indies will be favourites once again, but they were favourites to win the ODIs too. They won't take Bangladesh lightly.
