Fielding first, not sure if they are playing again on that disastrous pitch. It becomes too hectic to bat second here, everyone becomes Muralitharan all of a sudden, but dew might be on of the factors for fielding first. If it's the same pitch, anything over 200 is literally game over.

Don't get this at all, why would you bowl first here again, you would want to put 225+ under sun and put pressure as the pitch becomes more venomous in 2nd half. Ridiculous decision imo solely based on dew factor

Yea, don't trust BD to chase well under pressure TBH. They are so much better bowling second, the crowd really gets them pumped up then.

But clearly they back themselves to pull off a series-winning runchase, so lets see.

Naeem dropped, Jahurul in. Not sure if that's a good move; Naeem's bowling has been so useful. Shaiful, Gazi, Razzak, Sunny, Mahmadullah the bowlers now...Nasir might get a bowl. Mominul too maybe.

17/2 already.

WI just need to get it to 160/170 and BD will crumble in the runchase all by themselves really.

An awful series for Gayle comes to an end.

Top orders have had a tough time in the last couple of games. Ball swinging, spinning, seaming. Feels like a low scoring game, this one.

Excellent bowling by BD, 4 straight maidens (Gazi and Shafiul) which included 2 wickets in them, Gayle looked like a rabbit in headlights

make that 5 now

7 sixes from Pollard, dropped catch from Nasir

Wheels coming off?

100/3 in 23.

Still very worried about this :( Feels like it's gonna be a sad night.

had the chance to bat and put up a decent total, didn't grab it; got only themselves to blame. Feel for the fans who come into the stadium day in and out

I'm near tears tbh.

Well okay, not that bad...but still. Heartbroken.

All the teams I like are doing miserably. BD, India, NZ. Meh. Windies doing okay, so that's nice I guess.

Sunny has been taken for 4 sixes prior to this over, what prompted Mushfiq to give him this over again. Brain fade
