England will look to end their dominant T20 series against the West Indies with a final win at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia on Sunday, despite an impressive comeback from the hosts in the previous match.
The English side has been boosted throughout the series by Phil Salt, who stands as the highest run-scorer in this competition with 640 runs. However, West Indies showed their batting muscles in the fourth T20I as they successfully chased down 218 runs to deny England a series sweep.
Inspired by captain Rovman Powell, who leads the all-time scoring charts against England with 496 runs, the hosts will aim to continue their morale-boosting run. Although the series trophy is now secure in the England cabinet, pride and momentum are at stake in this final for the Maroons.
