West Indies and England are set to lock horns against each other for the fifth T20I of the ongoing series at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia, with England holding a 3-1 lead after winning the series. Despite this, both teams will be looking to finish on a high.
The hosts, after clinching the ODI series 2-1, struggled in the shortest format of the game due to persistent batting failures, particularly at the top. However, they turned the game in their favor in the fourth match, ending their five-match losing streak in T20Is by beating England by five wickets with an over to spare.
England posted a formidable 218/5, led by half-centuries from Phil Salt, Will Jacks, and a fiery 62 from Jacob Bethell. However, West Indies made a strong start, with star openers Shai Hope and Evin Lewis stitching up a blistering 136-run partnership. A dramatic turnaround occurred when Rehan Ahmed’s brilliant over saw the Windies lose three quick wickets. However, captain Rovman Powell steadied the ship, and Sherfane Rutherford’s two big sixes in the penultimate over clinched the highest-ever successful run chase at the venue. The Windies will now aim to level the series in the final T20I.
Ahead of the final showdown between the two powerhouses, let's check the weather report.
