Mehidy Hasan Miraz toyed with the West Indies batsmen on Friday as his four wickets have put the visitors under trouble in the third and final ODI on Friday.

Miraz completed his 10 overs in as early as the 26th over of the West Indies innings, conceding just 29 runs on the way to his four-for.

The visitors are now on 104 for 5 after the 27th over, their only hope is the in-form Shai Hope, who is unbeaten on 60.

Miraz first removed Hemraj (9) with the score on 15 thanks to a Mohammad Mithun catch and when Hope and Darren Bravo (10) were trying to make a good partnership, bowled the latter.

Mohammad Saifuddin now joined the party by bowling Marlon Samuels (19) and Miraz then claimed the wickets of his favourite

Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell in consecutive overs to leave the Caribbean side in a disarray.
