Preview:
The series is well set up as West Indies will take on England in the 5th and Final T20I of the series. Despite having wickets in hand, West Indies failed to chase 193 runs in the 4th T20I and fell short of the target by 34 runs. Kyle Mayers, who came in as a replacement for Shai Hope played some magnificent shots at the start of the innings and even Jason Holder’s brilliant all-round show couldn’t help them either.
England, on the other hand, were positive right from the start in the 4th T20I. Half-centuries from Jason Roy and Moeen helped them to post 193 runs on the board, and later some fin death bowling helped them to level the series 2-2. Now it’s all down to the wire and whoever wins this game will clinch the series.
