West Indies came back strongly in the fourth T20I and registered their first win against Jos Buttler's England after giving away the series with three consecutive losses. The stage is now set for the fifth and final T20I and the home team would be hoping to carry the momentum and end the series on a high.

It was a high-scoring encounter and West Indies outpowered England as they chased down 219 with one over to spare. Their batters scored runs as England bowlers look short of ideas and let's now see what combination England will field in the final game of the tour.

Philip Salt Can Be Rested

The batting group more or less looks settled with almost all batters scoring runs. Jos Buttler has batted at number 3 in this series and has done well and it has given Will Jacks more opportunity to express himself at the top of the order. Jacob Bethell scored a brilliant fifty in the last game and the experienced duo of Livingstone and Sam Curran has also delivered. However, if England decide to provide opportunity to some fringe players, Jordan Cox could be fitted at the top of the order in place of Philip Salt.

On the bowling front, England have rotated their bowlers, and in the last game, Jofra Archer was rested. He might not play this game too, with series already in the bag. However, Jafer Chohan, the leg-spinner might make his debut in place of Rehan Ahmed.
