West Indies, after losing the first three matches of the five-match T20I series against England, finally won the toss and elected to bowl first in the fourth encounter at the Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia. England, who have already secured the series victory, made one change to their lineup, handing a T20I debut to 23-year-old fast bowler John Turner, who replaces Jofra Archer.
West Indies, on the other hand, made two changes, bringing in Sherfane Rutherford for the injured Romario Shepherd and Obed McCoy for Terrance Hinds. Captain Rovman Powell expressed his team's determination to salvage some pride in the remaining matches, acknowledging the importance of starting well with the ball.
England captain Jos Buttler praised his team's performance so far and emphasized the need to maintain their high standards. He believes that setting a competitive total and defending it effectively will be key to their success.
The match was played on the same pitch used in the third T20I, where England emerged victorious by three wickets. The West Indies team includes Shai Hope, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, and Obed McCoy.
England's lineup consists of Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Jos Buttler, Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton, Rehan Ahmed, John Turner, and Saqib Mahmood.
