\New Zealand Women and West Indies Women are all set to lock horns against each other in the final fixture of the five-match T20I series. The White Ferns emerged victorious in the fourth T20I, which went right down to the wire. The visitors held their nerve in the Super Over to claim an unassailable 3-1 lead, which eventually makes the final T20I a dead rubber.

West Indies were well on course to levelling the series, chasing down a tricky total of 112 runs. However, a slip up towards the dying stages meant that the fourth T20I was decided by virtue of a Super Over. Sophie Devine led from the front with an inspired bowling performance, claiming three wickets in her four over spell.

All fixtures leading up to the final T20I have been relatively low scoring fixtures, with the highest total being just 115 runs. The trend is expected to continue in the final T20I on Thursday, as the entertaining series draws to a close.

Key Players

Sophie Devine: The White Ferns' skipper has not been at her best with the bat, but produced a match-winning performance with the ball in the penultimate T20I. She has picked up 5 wickets in this series, and will look to step it up with the bat in the final T20I.

Hayley Matthews: Hayley Matthews has managed to accumulate 63 runs and 6 wickets in the series so far. The West Indian skipper remains the highest wicket-taker for her side, and will look to end the series on a high.

Jess Kerr: The 24-year-old pacer was one of the standout performers for New Zealand in the fourth T20I. She conceded just 13 runs in her four over spell, picking up two wickets. In just two outings, she has managed to pick up four wickets.

Suzie Bates: The veteran batter has scored 69 runs in four matches, and also has two scalps to her name.

Fran Jonas: The left-arm orthodox spinner has five wickets in four outings. The 18-year-old opens the bowling for her side, and is a key member of the hosts' squad.
