WI vs ENG 4th T20I Preview: Windies Look for Redemption

In the last match, the Windies struggled with the bat, managing only 145/8 in their 20 overs.

But skipper Rovman Powell led from the front with a fighting 54 off 41, while Romario Shepherd chipped in with 30 off 28.

Their bowling saw a bright spot in Akeal Hosein, who bagged an impressive 4/22, but the rest had a tough time containing the English lineup.

WI vs ENG 4th T20I Preview: England Aim To Continue The Winning Streak

England’s bowlers stole the show in the last game, restricting the Windies to a modest total. Saqib Mahmood was the standout performer, snaring 3/17 in his four overs, while Jamie Overton was just as sharp with his 3/20. Jofra Archer bowled economically and added one to his tally, giving England the upper hand.

With the bat, however, things weren’t smooth for the English top order, as Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, and Jacob Bethell were dismissed cheaply, each for just four runs. But the middle-order duo of Sam Curran (41) and Liam Livingstone (39) brought stability, ultimately leading England to a three-wicket win. They’ll be eager to make it a perfect four-game sweep with another win.
