Sylhet awaits a classic finale
Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza said in a pre-match conference that he wants to find a solution to the opening conundrum. Before the crucial game, it will be a bit surprised if Bangladesh changes their side but ESPN Cricinfo's reports suggested that Mohammad Mithun is the line to replace Imrul Kayes.
Even though, Windies is expected to play an unchanged side for this game all the hopes will lie on the senior players like Marlon Samuels, Devendra Bishoo, Darren Bravo.
There are speculations over the place of Chandrapaul Hemraj after successive poor performances. Keiran Powell could be one person who replaces him in the XI.
There could be some dew in the second innings in Sylhet as the evening happens early here. The pitch will offer some true bounce and pace with the new ball, unlike Dhaka.
The weather seems clear for the game without major worry. The T20I series between the two teams will start right after the ODI series. The first game will be played at Sylhet on December 17, and the second and third game will be played in Dhaka on December 20 and 22.
