WI vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis
Any series which takes place soon after a Cricket World Cup always struggle to capture the imagination of the viewing public in the grounds and also across the globe on television. However, this series has come to life in the last two matches.
West Indies were 2-0 up with three to play and seemingly cruising to a series win over England before the visitors started hitting sixes in Grenada. Two games later and the series is level at 2-2 after England struck their highest ever T20I score in the fourth match of the series.
Will England go big again and crush the West Indies or will the hosts' power-hitters come to the party once more?

West Indies Preview
Rovman Powell seemed to have the easiest job in the world with his side easing to wins in Barbados and Grenada to begin this series. However, recent defeats in Grenada and Tarouba have shown that West Indies are not the finished article and it will take a huge swing of momentum for them to win this match and take the series.
But all is not lost for West Indies who have the likes of Sherfane Rutherford, Nicholas Pooran and the experienced Andre Russell in form with the bat. Russell and experienced all-rounder Jason Holder have also been consistent with the ball but England have started to dominate the spinners.
In their favour, is the power hitting of their batters, but West Indies must tighten up with the ball or England will run away with another victory.
West Indies Predicted Playing XI:
Phil Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Will Jacks, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Rehan Ahmed, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley

England Preview
England were in serious trouble at the halfway stage of the third T20I. Skipper Jos Buttler looked resigned to another white ball series defeat and his position as England white ball skipper, only 12 months after winning the 2022 T20 World Cup, was very much under threat.
However, a return to the "no fear" batting approach which has served the ODI and T20I team so well over the last decade has returned and the winning results have followed. Opener Phil Salt is targeting his third successive Player of the Match Award and his third successive T20I century, with captain Buttler looking for his third T20I half-century in a row.
With the ball, suddenly England look like a balanced and dangerous attack. Spinners Rehan Ahmed and Adil Rashid have been unstoppable with Reece Topley showing his international class since returning to the team.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There will be some rain and thunderstorms around in Tarouba on Thursday but the current forecast is that they will have cleared by the time of this game. It will still be humid though and the temperature will be in the high twenties.
WI vs ENG Pitch Report
This is a good batting wicket although maybe not quite as good as Phil Salt made it look on Tuesday! A par score will be around 210-220 for the team batting first in this decider.
Toss: To Bat
The captains in this series have chosen to bowl first when winning the toss in all four games so far. But all three previous T20Is at this ground have been won by the team batting first so we expect both teams to choose to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this match.
WI vs ENG
Winning Prediction
This has been a brilliant series which has been dominated by exceptional batting over the last two games. England's top order is suddenly firing but it is also fair to say that West Indies' batters are producing big scores as well. The bowling attacks will be key and England have more variation and quality than the hosts. As a result, we are predicting England to win and take the series 3-2.
We are backing England to win this match.
