West Indies and England will face off in the 5th T20I of the ongoing series at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. With England leading 3-1 and having secured the series, both sides will aim to end on a strong note.
After winning the ODI series 2-1, West Indies struggled in T20Is due to batting failures, particularly at the top. However, they broke their five-match losing streak in the fourth game, defeating England by five wickets with an over to spare. England posted 218/5, with half-centuries from Salt, Jacks, and Bethell. West Indies’ openers Hope and Lewis put on a strong 136-run partnership, but a collapse followed after Rehan Ahmed’s brilliant over. Captain Powell steadied the ship, and Rutherford’s two big sixes in the penultimate over sealed the highest-ever chase at the venue. West Indies aim to level the series.
