West Indies vs England 5th T20 Preview and Analysis: The way the England team came back in the series is commendable against West Indies as now they are level in the series by 2-2, and it is going to be the last match.
West Indies lost their last two matches by a huge margin, and the team needs to recollect themselves as they won the starting two matches but then lost the last two. They need to make a few changes in their bowling side.
England has been amazing in the past two matches, especially Phil Salt, who scored back-to-back T20 centuries against West Indies and is now the highest run-scorer in the series. It is going to be the final T20 match of the series to see who will win the title, but it is going to be an exciting match between the two sides. However, West Indies needs to give tough competition to the England side, or else they will lose the series.

It will once again be a batting-friendly pitch, just like in the previous match, but the spinner might come into play more because back-to-back matches will be played on the same pitch. The pitch might have been dry in the first innings, but teams still preferred to bat first, and they won all three matches.
Team Preview Of West Indies
West Indies once again lost the last match against England by a huge margin, but still, they can come back in the series if they play as a team together because they have been having this problem of playing as individuals.
Important players for the West Indies Team in the match against England
1- Shai Hope needs to step up his performance for his team, as even in the last match, he got out on just 16 runs when the team needed him to anchor the innings.
2-Nicholas Pooran has been amazing for the West Indies, as he does not throw his wickets now. He has a 31.9 average in the last 10 matches. He is in good form, and even in the last match, he scored 39 runs in just 15 balls.
3- Andre Russell is an unpredictable player who can do everything in one match and can do nothing in another. In the 2nd ODI, he did everything and won it for West Indies, and in the 3rd t20 game, he did nothing and leaked 50 runs in just 3.5 overs. However, in the last match, he scored 51 and took a wicket, which was the best performance from the West Indies team.
Team Preview Of England
England is showing that they still have the fightback in their blood, and they are not out of the top 4 teams in the world after having the worst World Cup. The way they fought back into the series is amazing, and they will look to win the next one.
Important players for the England Team in the match against West Indies
1- Phil Salt once again scored a century and was the main difference for his team. It was back-to-back centuries for him. He scored 119 runs in just 57 balls, hitting 10 sixes and 7 fours, and right now, he scored 293 runs in 4 matches with an average of 97.67, which is amazing.
2- Jos Buttler might find his form back after scoring back-to-back half-centuries for the team and helping them win. He is 2nd highest run scorer in the series, with 150 runs in four matches.
3- Adil Rashid has been the core spin bowler for the England team, and taking 7 wickets in 4 matches with a strike rate of 14.71 is amazing.
