West Indies vs England, 4th T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
West Indies and England are all set to square off in the fourth T20I of the ongoing five-match series at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, on December 20, Wednesday.
After winning the first two games and taking a healthy lead in the series, the hosts suffered a defeat in the third encounter as England went one up to make it 1-2. It was a close contest between the two sides, and the visitors eventually managed to make a comeback to remain alive in the series.
Winning the toss, England put West Indies to bat first. After losing the opening batters, Brandon King and Kyle Mayers, within the first two overs of the powerplay, Nicholas Pooran played a key role with the bat, scoring a 45-ball 82 studded with six fours and as many sixes. Decent efforts from the middle-order batters led to the Windies posting 222 runs in their 20-over quota.
Meanwhile, England got off to a tremendous start as openers Phil Salt and Jos Buttler shared a 115-run stand before the latter walked off scoring 51(34) in the 12th over. Phil Salt was unstoppable as he went on to score a century and remained unbeaten at 109*(56).
Harry Brook’s breathtaking 7-ball 31* helped England clinch a nail-biting victory on the penultimate delivery of the game. He notched up 24 runs off the first five deliveries of the final over as England made amends for the first two losses.
