There is still plenty of time to go until the 2024 T20 World Cup but looking at the form of both teams, you would have to say that West Indies look far more likely to go far in the tournament than the current holders England who have lost their last four T20Is.
A five match series in any format always makes for great viewing as you see certain bowlers dominating specific batters and this series is no different across the Caribbean.
There were nearly 350 runs in Grenada on Thursday and few would expect to see a low scoring affair on Saturday!
When it has mattered, West Indies have found players able to step up and make a difference in this series so far. It was Andre Russell with the ball in the first T20I and then it was Brandon King with the bat in Thursday's second game of the series.
The question is - do West Indies have the ability to go again and put England to the sword once more? Many think they certainly do and with their skipper Rovman Powell hitting another aggressive innings in the second T20I, the team continues to go from strength to strength when batting.
In spite of Andre Russell struggling with the ball in Grenada on Thursday, West Indies turned to Akeal Hosein and Alzarri Joseph to pick up key wickets. Although look out for Gudakesh Motie in this game who was brilliant in the last match returning figures of 1/9 from his 4 overs!

In an attempt to level the series in Grenada, England changed the make-up of their side with batter Ben Duckett making way and experienced all-rounder Mooen Ali coming in. Captain Jos Buttler likes to see familiar faces going into battle with him and he will certainly want Moeen at his side again for this match.
Moeen made 22 not out from 13 balls, Liam Livingstone 17 runs from 9 balls, with Will Jacks and Phil Salt both making steady scores in the mid-20s on Thursday. However, England desperately need one of their key batters to step up, in the way that bowling all-rounder Sam Curran did in the second T20I, and build the foundation of a strong innings.
The spin combination of Rehan Ahmed, who has dismissed Shai Hope twice in this series, and Adil Rashid continue to impress and Tymal Mills will be keen to bowl on this surface again after taking 2/30 here on Thursday.

The forecast has been changeable over the last 24 hours but right now it looks set to be another warm and humid afternoon in Grenada on Saturday for the third T20I.
This pitch has had a reputation for helping the quick bowlers but it was the spinners who had the most joy on Thursday. Any score over 185 will be very hard to chase down on Saturday.
Teams batting first have a much better recent record than teams who field first at this venue in T20Is. It would be a huge surprise if either Rovman Powell or Jos Buttler won the toss and chose to field first in Grenada on Saturday.
If England lose this T20I it will be a very despondent group who will play out the final two games with the series already gone. However, England have done it before and come back from poor starts to win tournaments and series. It is a hard prediction to make as West Indies have played good cricket so far but we have England as our winning prediction for Saturday's T20I.
We are backing England to win this match.
