West Indies vs England: Any series that begins soon after the Cricket World Cup always finds it difficult to hold the attention of spectators both on the pitch and on television screens around the world. Nevertheless, the last two games have really brought this series to life.
Before the visitors began hitting sixes in Grenada, the West Indies were ahead 2-0 with three games remaining and appeared to be coasting to a series victory over England. After two games, England scored their highest-ever T20I score in the fourth match of the series, tying the series at 2-2.
Will the West Indies be destroyed by England once more, or will the heavyweights from the hosts make another appearance?
The 5th T20 match between West Indies vs England will take place on December 22nd, 2023, at Brian Lara Cricket Academy, San Fernando.

Preview
With his team easily winning the first two games of this series in Barbados and Grenada, Rovman Powell appeared to have the easiest job in the world. It will require a tremendous surge of momentum for the West Indies to win this game and win the series, though, as their recent losses in Grenada and Tarouba have demonstrated that they are far from perfect.
However, the West Indies still have hope because they have Sherfane Rutherford, Nicholas Pooran, and the seasoned Andre Russell who are all capable batsmen. While Jason Holder, an accomplished all-rounder, and Russell have also been reliable with the ball, England has begun to dominate the spinners.
The strength of their batters works in their favor, but West Indies needs to get more disciplined with the ball or England will easily win again.
Full Squad:
Rovman Powell (c), Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Shai Hope, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Gudakesh Motie, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd.

Preview
The third Twenty20 International was halfway through, and England was in deep trouble. Twelve months after winning the 2022 T20 World Cup, England’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler appeared resigned to another white-ball series loss, and his job was very much in jeopardy.
But the winning outcomes have come with a return to the “no fear” batting strategy that has worked so well for the ODI and T20I teams over the past ten years. While captain Buttler is attempting to record his third consecutive T20I half-century, opener Phil Salt is aiming for his third consecutive Player of the Match Award and his third consecutive T20I century.
Suddenly, with the ball, England appeared to be a dangerous and well-balanced attack. Since joining the team again, Reece Topley has shown his international class, and the spinners Rehan Ahmed and Adil Rashid have been unstoppable.

West Indies vs England Toss Prediction:
In all four of the games thus far in this series, the captains have elected to bowl first after winning the toss. However, the team batting first has won the last three Twenty20 Internationals played at this field, so if either team wins the toss before this match, we anticipate that they will both opt to bat first.

The last two games of this amazing series have been dominated by outstanding batting. While it is true that West Indies’ batsmen are also scoring heavily, England’s top order is suddenly clicking.
