Bangladesh cricket team has made history by securing a T20 series victory on West Indian soil. With dominant performances in the first two matches of the three-match series, Bangladesh has already sealed the series 2-0, leaving the third game as a potential clean sweep opportunity.

A victory in the final match would mark a historic whitewash for the Tigers against the Caribbean side. The third match is set to take place on December 20, 6:00 AM Bangladesh time.

Bangladesh's impressive display in the T20 series has reflected positively in the ICC T20 rankings. Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed climbed three spots to 18th, making him the highest-ranked Bangladeshi bowler. Meanwhile, left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who missed the series, slipped two places to 19th.

Mahedi Hasan shone in both matches, jumping 18 spots to 23rd among bowlers. The standout performer, however, has been Hasan Mahmud, who leaped a staggering 38 places to claim the 47th spot in the rankings.

Despite Bangladesh’s dominance, West Indies spinner Akeal Hosein retained his spot as the top-ranked T20 bowler. Roston Chase also moved up five places to 24th, while Obed McCoy climbed seven spots to reach 70th position.

On the batting front, the Caribbean side witnessed significant gains. Skipper Rovman Powell jumped 10 places to rank 22nd, while Johnson Charles advanced six spots to 19th. The top position remains unchanged, with Australia’s Travis Head leading the charts.

Bangladeshi batters couldn’t match their bowlers’ meteoric rise in the rankings. However, the Tigers’ consistent team effort has placed them on the brink of a historic whitewash in the Caribbean.

Bangladesh’s triumph in this series underscores their growing strength in T20 cricket. The team’s clinical performances with both bat and ball have highlighted their ability to adapt to challenging conditions.

The Tigers will now aim to close the series with a clean sweep, which would further solidify their reputation as a competitive force in world cricket.
