WI vs BAN Probable Winners:

Bangladesh has struggled with maintaining consistency. The team will be missing key players for this game, so the youngsters must step up and meet the challenge. West Indies has a strong bowling attack and a good record against Bangladesh. Based on their current performance, we believe the West Indies have a slight advantage. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.

Evin Lewis and Shai Hope’s record opening partnership guided West Indies to win the fourth T20I of the five-match series. Hosts West Indies recorded their second-highest successful T20I chase in the match. 

Already trailing by 3-0, West Indies captain Rovman Powell chose to field first after winning the toss at Gros Islet. While England scored 218/5 in 20 overs, West Indies chased the target in 19 overs after losing five wickets. 

England openers set a strong start

English openers Phil Salt and Will Jacks provided a good start as they set up a 56-run partnership in five overs. England scored 63 for one at the end of the powerplay. 

After Jacks was out for 25 off 12 balls (one four and two sixes), Salt had a 48-run partnership with the skipper Jos Buttler for the second wicket. Salt scored his fourth T20I half-century, and Roston Chase dismissed him for 55 off 35 balls (five fours and four sixes).

Buttler scored 38 off 23 balls (two fours and three sixes), while Liam Livingstone was dismissed for four runs. 

Bethell and Curran ended strongly

Jacob Bethell and Sam Curran had a 63-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Bethell scored 62 not out off 32 balls with four fours and five sixes. Also, Curran scored 24 off 13 balls (two sixes) before his run out on the final ball of the innings.

Among the Caribbean bowlers, Gudakesh Motie (2/40) picked up two wickets, while Alzarri Joseph (1/33) and Roston Chase (1/47) got one wicket each. 

Evin Lewis and Shai Hope had a 136-run partnership

After managing a powerful start, Caribbean openers Evin Lewis and Shai Hope set up a record T20I opening partnership for West Indies at home. After scoring 68/0 at the end of the powerplay and completing 100 runs in just 7.3 overs, they had a 136-run partnership for the first wicket. While Lewis scored 68 runs off 31 balls (four fours and seven sixes), Hope scored 54 off 24 balls (seven fours and three sixes). 

It was West Indies’ fourth-highest T20I partnership for any wicket and also the second-highest T20I partnership for the first wicket. Also, it was their highest T20I partnership for any wicket in West Indies. 

Skipper and Rutherford guided to a successful chase after a sudden collapse

However, in the 10th over of the innings, West Indies lost three wickets in the first three balls, including Hope’s run out. While Nicholas Pooran was out for a duck, West Indies were down to 136/3. 

Shimron Hetmyer (7) was out cheaply in the 14th over. However, the skipper Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford then strongly guided the hosts to the target. Powell scored 38 off 23 balls (two fours and three sixes), and Rutherford scored 29 not out off 16 balls (three sixes).

It was West Indies’ second-highest successful run chase in T20I history. Their record T20I chase is 232 runs (236/6) against South Africa at Johannesburg in 2015.  

WI vs ENG Match Preview

After losing the first three games of the five-game series, the hosts West Indies had something to be happy about. They performed admirably with the bat in the fourth T20 international, winning by five wickets. The team will try to finish the series on an upbeat note by winning the final game. The English team has dominated this series and will look to rebound and win this game.

England has been sharp and efficient throughout this series, with various players stepping up at the right times to secure victories. In contrast, the West Indies have struggled, particularly in batting, and their bowling lineup—with the exception of Akeal Hosein—has been leaking runs. The series loss would have hurt them, and they'll be eager to fight back in the final two games to reclaim some pride. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.

WI vs ENG Match Preview

This is an important match for the West Indies to win. They must win this T20I to stay intact in the series. In contrast, England will look to maintain their dominance and secure the series with an unbeatable lead. The West Indies will rely on experienced batters such as Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran to provide a balance of calm and explosiveness, while England will look to Phil Salt and Jos Buttler to keep up their prime with the bat.

WI vs ENG Probable Winners:

The West Indies and England will face off at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium on Gros Islet, St Lucia. England currently leads the series, having won the previous two games convincingly, with Jos Buttler's 83 off 45 balls leading them toward a comfortable victory in the second T20I. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.

The West Indies T20I squad faces both setbacks and gains in their ongoing series against England. Star pacer Alzarri Joseph has returned from suspension to rejoin the team, replacing Shamar Joseph, while power-hitter Andre Russell will miss the remainder of the series due to a left ankle sprain, with Shamar Springer called in as his replacement. As England currently leads 2-0 in the five-match series, West Indies are left with no margin for error in their upcoming games in St Lucia.

Alzarri Joseph’s Return After Suspension

Alzarri Joseph’s brief absence was due to a two-match suspension following an on-field incident in the third ODI against England. Frustrated with field placements set by West Indies captain Shai Hope, Joseph walked off the field in protest, leaving the team one player short for part of the game. Joseph subsequently issued a public apology and reconciled with Hope, leading to his reinstatement. Now back with the squad, Joseph aims to bolster the West Indies bowling attack in the crucial remaining matches of the series.

Alzarri Joseph’s return adds strength to the West Indies’ bowling lineup just in time for the remainder of their T20I series against England. Joseph, who missed the last two matches due to a suspension, rejoins the squad after mending relations with captain Shai Hope. His suspension followed a controversial moment in the third ODI, where, in frustration with field placements, he briefly left the field, leaving West Indies with only ten players. Joseph later apologized, which cleared the way for his reentry into the squad. His return is a boost to the West Indies, who now need to win each of the remaining three T20I matches to keep their series hopes alive.

Andre Russell Sidelined, Shamar Springer Joins the Squad

Andre Russell’s exit due to a left ankle sprain is a significant setback for the West Indies team, as his power-hitting and experience are vital in the T20 format. Shamar Springer has been called up to replace Russell, bringing a fresh energy to the side. Russell’s injury comes at a challenging moment, with the team in a must-win situation for the remaining games.

Meanwhile, West Indies were dealt a blow with Andre Russell’s injury ruling him out for the series’ duration. Russell, a key figure for the team, suffered a left ankle sprain and will be replaced by Shamar Springer, who brings additional agility and youthful spirit to the team. The timing of Russell’s injury is unfortunate, as his experience would have been crucial in these pressure-filled matches.

The remaining matches, scheduled in St Lucia on November 14, 16, and 17, are critical for West Indies to keep their series hopes alive after England’s early 2-0 lead. With Alzarri Joseph’s return

WI vs ENG Match Preview

The West Indies had a home advantage and a recent surge in T20 cricket. England has always been a formidable white-ball team, regardless of the squad they select, and will be up against a T20-mad nation. The West Indies should be familiar with the conditions after many members of their squad played in the CPL, whereas England may need a game or two to adjust. The West Indies may have the upper hand again in this T20I series.

The comeback of Jos Buttler for England will undoubtedly propel them to new heights, but the West Indies have a strong track record at home in bi-lateral T20I series. As a result, we expect a close game in Barbados on Saturday, but we believe the West Indies will win. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.

In a dramatic turn of events, West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph stormed off the field after a heated exchange with captain Shai Hope during the third ODI against England at Kensington Oval on Wednesday. The on-field confrontation, triggered by disagreements over field placements, captivated fans and sparked discussions across the cricketing world. However, the tension on the field didn’t deter the West Indies team as they secured an impressive eight-wicket victory over England to claim the series.

Joseph’s walk-off adds drama to the decider

The clash between Alzarri Joseph and Shai Hope unfolded in the fourth over of England’s innings, catching spectators and players alike by surprise. Joseph, who had just bowled a wicket-maiden, displayed visible frustration with Hope’s field settings. Animated gestures and an intense exchange quickly escalated, leading Joseph to leave the field momentarily. His walk-off left the West Indies with only ten players for an over, with Joseph seen discussing the matter with teammate Hayden Walsh on the sidelines.

The incident raised eyebrows and became a focal point of discussion, highlighting the intense emotions running high within the team during the decider. Nevertheless, Joseph returned to the field shortly afterward, resuming his role in a match that would end with a triumphant outcome for the West Indies.

Amidst the drama, West Indies openers Brandon King and Keacy Carty displayed remarkable skill, each scoring a century to chase down England’s total with ease. Chasing a target of 263, the duo formed an incredible 209-run partnership for the second wicket, solidifying West Indies' dominance. King scored 102 before being dismissed, while Carty remained unbeaten at 128, sealing the victory with a boundary. Their partnership not only made light of England’s challenging total but also highlighted their growing synergy and effectiveness in high-stakes matches.

Earlier in the day, England faced a challenging start, falling to 24 for four as West Indies' bowlers capitalized on early weaknesses. Opener Phil Salt anchored the innings with a top score of 74, preventing a total collapse. Contributions from Sam Curran (40) and Dan Mousley (57) provided support, allowing England to reach a respectable 263. However, the West Indies bowling unit, led by Matthew Forde with three for 35, held England in check.

West Indies’ winning streak and future prospects

The series win marks West Indies' second consecutive ODI triumph over England on Caribbean soil, following their victory 11 months prior. With personnel changes expected in both teams for the upcoming T20 International series, the West Indies squad will be looking to carry forward their winning momentum into the shorter format, with hopes of achieving another series win at home.

The five-match T20 series begins this weekend in Barbados, where West Indies fans eagerly await to see if the team’s recent success can transition into continued dominance.

WI vs ENG Match Preview

No matter how long a bi-lateral series lasts, the organizers always desire to see a final match with something on the line, and that is exactly what both sets of players, fans in the stands, and TV viewers will get on Wednesday at the Kensington Oval. However, for much of the game on Saturday, it appeared that the West Indies would easily win the series 2-0, but some intelligent, controlled, and ultimately strong batting from Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone propelled England to victory with plenty of time remaining.

The ICC has released the latest Future Tours Programme (FTP) for women's cricket for the 2025-29 cycle, bringing several key updates aimed at enhancing the global profile of the sport. Among the highlights are dedicated windows for three major T20 leagues: the Women's Premier League (WPL) in January-February, The Hundred in August, and the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) in November. This strategic scheduling ensures uninterrupted participation of international stars, thereby heightening the competition’s appeal and fan engagement across the globe.

ICC unveils new women's FTP with separate windows for WPL, Hundred, and WBBL

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also shifted the WPL window to January-February from 2026. This adjustment aligns with Cricket Australia's (CA) decision to reschedule its marquee international home fixtures, previously held in mid-January, to a February-March window. The 2025 Women’s Ashes, set to begin in January, will be Australia’s last home series during this time slot until at least 2029. Following the WPL in 2026, Australia is set to host India for a highly anticipated tour, featuring one Test, three ODIs, and three T20Is.
