Bangladesh pulled off a resounding win over West Indies in the 3rd ODI of the series, winning by a stunning 179 runs and clinching the bilateral series. It is Bangladesh's first bilateral ODI series win since beating Sri Lanka at home in March 2024, ending a four-match losing streak in the format. With Mehidy Hasan Miraz leading from the front, the side appeared calm and clinical, and displayed the difference that mature leadership can produce. Following the posting of their competitive total of 296 runs, Bangladesh's bowlers ensured that West Indies had their work cut out for them. The home team relied mostly on their spinners and employed only four bowlers, all spinners themselves, to destroy the opposition's batting order. The pitch provided sharp turn, and Bangladesh used it to perfection, leaving the West Indies fighting all the way throughout the innings. Only Akeal Hosein offered some resistance at the end but it was not enough to challenge Bangladesh's superiority.

Bangladesh's spinners overwhelmed the West Indies batting lineup with accuracy, claiming all 10 wickets and securing a easy victory. The side's performance exemplified how much danger they pose on spinning pitches, where their batsmen and bowlers alike flourish. With this win, Bangladesh not only won the series but also posted their second-largest ODI win in history and their biggest win over West Indies, demonstrating their increasingly formidable limited-overs side. This outcome will increase Bangladesh's confidence while they can anticipate series in the future, while West Indies will have to rethink their strategy against quality spin in subcontinental conditions. The 3rd ODI was a stark reminder of Bangladesh's ability to dominate at home and how they have emerged as a potent ODI team under Mehidy Hasan Miraz's captaincy.
