West Indies face Australia in the fifth and final T20I at St Kitts on Monday. The tourists have wrapped up the series 4-0 and will want to complete a clean sweep. On the other hand, West Indies will now try to rescue some dignity and finish the series with a victory, but it will be a tall ask against an Australian team that has dominated them thoroughly throughout the series.

West Indies have shown glimpses of what they can do in this T20I series, especially with the bat. But sloppy fielding and inconsistent bowling have held them back and played a part in losing the series. They’ll need to step it up in the final match if they want to walk away with a win.
Shai Hope has been the top scorer, putting up 176 runs across four innings at a strike rate of 149.15. Brandon King has held his own at the top as well, adding 149 runs in four innings at 158.51.
Roston Chase and Shimron Hetmyer have chipped in with useful knocks, and the Windies will hope for something more from them in the last game.
The bowling hasn’t really come together, with wayward lines leading to easy runs. Jason Holder has been the most effective so far, taking five wickets while going at 9.50 per over. Romario Shepherd has three wickets, but his economy rate of 13.67 has given the home side plenty of headaches.
One encouraging sign was Jediah Blades, who turned in a strong debut performance with 3 for 29 from four overs. That said, this bowling unit doesn’t quite look like it has the firepower to slow down Australia.

Australia have looked in complete control throughout this T20 series, cruising through all four matches with ease. Their batting strength has stood out, especially on tracks that favor scoring and have shorter boundaries.
Cameron Green has been their most dependable name with the bat, piling up 173 runs across four innings at a strike rate of 161.68. He already has three half-centuries to his name and looks in great rhythm. Josh Inglis has done his job at number three, scoring 162 in four innings at a strike rate of 114.
Mitchell Owen and Glenn Maxwell have chipped in with handy knocks in different games, helping keep the team ahead in tricky moments. Also in the mix are Mitchell Marsh and Tim David, who can take apart any bowling attack if they get going. David was rested for the fourth game after smashing a stunning unbeaten hundred off 37 balls in the third, but should return here to bolster the lineup.
Adam Zampa has been the most effective option with the ball, claiming seven wickets from four outings with an economy of 10.25. He’s gone for a few, as expected in these batting-friendly conditions, but has kept the wickets coming.
Ben Dwarshuis and Nathan Ellis have shared nine wickets so far, while Xavier Bartlett and Aaron Hardie turned heads in the previous game with two wickets each.

Expect plenty of runs at Warner Park under lights with the ball skidding on nicely in the evening. The surface is generally good for strokeplay, and the short square boundaries make clearing the ropes tempting. Spinners might find some grip as the game wears on, but it’s rarely enough to slow things down. Teams batting second tend to do well here, especially with dew making it harder for bowlers to control their lengths.
Weather forecasts show a thunderstorm around in the morning at St Kitts, but otherwise, it should be clear for a full match.

Both matches at Warner Park in this series saw each side passing the 200 mark in each innings. In the opener at the venue, Australia mowed down 215 within only 16.1 overs and had six wickets to spare. Runs flood this ground, so whoever starts with the bat will likely set sights on something close to 220 to give themselves a fair shot at victory on plainly batting-friendly turf today.
Both matches of this series at Warner Park have been won by the team chasing. Thus, it’s very likely that the team winning the toss will choose to bowl first here.
West Indies have struggled to stop Australia’s formidable batting unit in this T20I series. Their batting has been pretty solid, consistently putting up scores of over 200. However, their poor bowling and sloppy fielding has cost them. Australia’s bowling isn’t the best, but their powerful batting unit, which has incredible depth, is more than enough on this small ground and flat pitch. We are backing them to continue their dominance and win the final T20I as well.
Back Australia to win the final T20I and make it 5-0 for the series.
