With Bangladesh already having won the series, courtesy of victories in the first two matches, West Indies can only hope to salvage what little pride remains in the final one-day international of the three-match series here today.

As was the case in the Test series, the makeshift side failed to match wits with Bangladesh and were soundly whipped in the double-header in Dominica.

Still without the top-tier players who refused to play in the Test series because of the impasse between the West Indies Players' Association and the West Indies Cricket Board, the Floyd Reifer-led unit will hope the Warner Park can prove to be a respite after what has been a chastening experience.

Coach John Dyson said yesterday his side would still be gunning for the elusive win, despite the disappointing series.

Experience the key issue

"I would like to have a win and I'm sure the boys would as well," the Australian told reporters.

"I think they've actually played some good cricket over the Bangladesh series but we just haven't had the experience to get a win over the line."

Experience has been the key issue for the West Indies in the series. In the opening ODI last Sunday at Windsor Park, they were let down by their batting to lose by 52 runs, in pursuit of 247 for victory.

In the second match three days later at the same venue, their batting fired them to 274 but inexperienced bowling allowed the Tigers to reach their target with an over to spare.

"I think we saw our inexperience come through in the second innings (in) Dominica and when you've got guys who've only played a handful of games between them," Dyson said, "it's a real pressure cooker ... they found themselves in the pressure cooker."
