This will be the fourth T20I of the five-match series between West Indies and England. The match will take place at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia, on November 17 at 1:30 AM IST.
The West Indies struggled again in the last match, managing only 145 runs with the bat. Their lack of partnerships hurt their chances, and they couldn’t put up a strong fight. With the series already lost, the team will now focus on saving some pride by trying to win the remaining matches.
England, despite some stumbles during their chase, got over the line thanks to a crucial 39-run partnership between Sam Curran (41) and Liam Livingstone (39). They won with three wickets and four balls to spare, securing the T20I series 3-0 with two games left. This has been a great response from England after losing the ODI series.
West Indies: Shai Hope, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran(w), Roston Chase, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell(c), Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Terrance Hinds, Alzarri Joseph.
England: Philip Salt(w), Will Jacks, Jos Buttler(c), Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Rehan Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood.
The pitch at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium favors batters, offering little assistance to bowlers apart from some movement with the new ball. While spinners might get a bit of turn, it is unlikely to challenge the batters significantly. Chasing teams are expected to have an advantage here.
St. Lucia is expected to have warm weather, with temperatures between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius. The skies will be mostly cloudy, and there is a possibility of some rain during the match.

England have already secured the 5-match series with a 3-0 lead. While they dominated the first two T20Is, West Indies put up a strong fight in the third match. Heading into the fourth T20I, another close contest is expected, but England are likely to come out on top again and continue their winning streak.
