West Indies and England will lock horns in the fourth T20I at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium this Saturday. England have taken an unassailable lead of 3-0 in the 5-match T20I series, and will be looking to make it 4-0 after the next match. West Indies, meanwhile, have been poor throughout the series and will be looking forward to putting up a better show in the remaining two matches.
West Indies have been below par all through this T20I series. In the third match, West Indies were reduced to 37/5 within the powerplay. However, thanks to captain Rovman Powell’s 54 off 41 and Romario Shepherd (30 off 28), they managed to put up a respectable total of 145-8 on the board. However, that wasn’t enough as England reached home with four balls to spare and three wickets remaining.
Unfortunately, West Indies’ top and middle order just haven’t turned up this series. Despite having power hitters like Nicholas Pooran, Evin Lewis, and Shimron Hetmyer, their batting unit has regularly struggled. The non-performance of Pooran, especially, has hurt them badly but he is too good a batter to miss out for too long.
Among the bowlers, Akeal Hosein showed he can be a game-changer in the previous match, with a brilliant spell of 4-22. However, he has received very little support from the others. Terrance Hinds, Gudakesh Motie, and Alzarri Joseph have all leaked runs in crucial moments. This bowling attack doesn’t look threatening and England’s batters will look to punish them in the fourth match as well.

In their small chase of 146 in the third T20I, England were reduced to 37/3. Then, Sam Curran (41 off 26) and Liam Livingstone (39 off 28) played important knocks that helped their team get over the line.
Different batters have stepped up at important times for England this series. Philip Salt scored that hundred in the first game. Jos Buttler smashed an unbeaten 83 off 45 in the second T20I. Liam Livingstone has had two good knocks, and even newbie Jacob Bethell has scored a fifty.
These are signs of a healthy batting unit, which bats deep.
Their bowling has delivered as well, with Saqib Mahmood leading the pack with 9 wickets in 3 innings at an economy of just 6.45. Jamie Overton has done a fine job as well, picking up 4 wickets at 6.40.
Rehan Ahmed was ineffective in the previous game on a pitch that was offering plenty of help to the spinners. England might look to get Adil Rashid back for the next game as he has been far more threatening.

The pitch at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium tends to offer good support for both batters and bowlers in white-ball games. However, with recent heavy rains in St. Lucia, there’s some moisture on the surface, as seen in the last match here. This added dampness means spinners and pacers can expect a bit more grip, and they’ll probably use slower balls and cutters to disrupt the batters’ timing.
The weather will be humid and cloudy. There is very little chance of rain, so we should get a full match.

The average first innings score at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium is 168. However, the surface will be slower this time, and the team batting first will be looking to set a score of around 160 runs.
Jos Buttler’s decision to field first has paid off in every game of this T20I series, with England winning each match. Chances are high that both captains will be looking to bowl first once again in this upcoming game.
England have been sharp and efficient throughout this series, with different players stepping up at just the right moments to secure their victories. In contrast, West Indies have struggled, especially in batting, while their bowling lineup—except for Akeal Hosein—has been leaking runs. The series loss would have stung them, and they’ll be eager to fight back in the last two matches to regain some pride. However, with England riding high at 3-0, their confidence is through the roof. They’re playing quality cricket with a well-rounded team, and it’s likely they’ll push for a 4-0 finish.
We are backing England as the winners of this match and make it 4-0.
