West Indies to score a 50 in the match - No - 7/4

England thrashed the West Indies by eight wickets in the Super 8 stage of June's T20 World Cup and they have franked that form on their return to the Caribbean.

Jos Buttler's men are 3-0 up in the five-match series and they are 4/5 to keep alive their chances of a clean sweep by winning Saturday's fourth T20I in Gros Islet.

The St Lucia venue was the scene of June's World Cup clash, which dented the Windies' hopes of reaching the semi-finals of their home tournament, and Thursday's third T20I, which England won by three wickets, also took place in Gros Islet.

That margin of victory was too close for comfort given that England fast bowlers Saqib Mahmood and Jofra Archer had reduced their hosts to 21-4 and 37-5 inside the Powerplay overs.

The West Indies recovered to post 145-8, thanks largely to an innings of 54 from captain Rovman Powell, but backing no home batter to reach 50 on Saturday is a tempting play.

They racked up 182-9 in the first T20I, when four players made 30 but Nicholas Pooran's 38 was the highest score of the innings.

Powell's 43 was the only score of note in the second game and the Windies failed to register a half-century in their T20 World Cup loss to England at the Daren Sammy Stadium.

Five of the top six got starts that day but opener Johnson Charles took top-batter honours with a modest 38 and England, who have won six of their last seven T20Is against the Windies, can rattle the home batting unit again.

Liam Livingstone to be England top batter - 8/1

Like the West Indies, England struggled against the new ball on Thursday when three of their top four batters – Phil Salt, skipper Buttler and youngster Jacob Bethell – were dismissed for four.

Sam Curran (41) and Liam Livingstone (39), coming in at numbers five and six, got the run-chase back on course and Livingstone has looked in fabulous touch on this tour.

Captaining the side in the ODI series, he top-scored with 48 in the first game and scored a stunning 124 not out off 85 balls in the second match.

The hard-hitting Cumbrian sealed England's run-chase in the second T20I with an unbeaten 23 from just 11 balls and he looks a big price to star in the middle-order given how many early wickets fell in Thursday's game.

Akeal Hosein over 20.5 performance points - 11/10

While England's fast bowlers did most of the damage in the third T20I, West Indies spinner Akeal Hosein posed the main threat in the second innings of the match.

The left-armer finished with 4-22 from his four overs, dismissing Salt, Buttler, Livingstone and Dan Mousley, and he also got rid of the dangerous Salt for a first-ball duck in game two.

Hosein can clear a performance-point line of 20.5, with one point awarded per run, 10 per catch and 20 per wicket.

In last December's T20 series against England in the Caribbean, his performance make-ups were 30, 50, nought, 35 and 40.

And his exploits in the 2022 series against the same opponents included a career-best 44 not out off 16 balls in the second game and 4-30 in the fifth T20I.
