West Indies captain Floyd Reifer won the toss on Friday and chose to bat in the third and final one-day international against Bangladesh.

The hosts, trailing 2-0 in the series, made two changes to the team that lost the second match in Dominica last Tuesday.

The 19-year-old opener Kieran Powell is given his debut for the match at Warner Park at the expense of Dale Richards, while left-arm spinner Nikita Miller replaces Rawl Lewis, who has a left thigh strain.

Bangladesh also made two changes, with Nazmul Hossain and Mahbubul Alam coming in for fellow seamers Rubel Hossain and Syed Rasel.
