Shake West Indies chose to bowl vs. England
The West Indies eventually won a toss and opted to bowl first in the fourth T20I against England in St. Lucia.
Tourists will seek to continue raising their standards, according to Jos Buttler, their captain. “We’ve been very good with everything we’ve done so far. Today poses a good challenge to set a good total and defend it.”
Captain Rovman Powell suggested at the draw that his team was playing for pride. “It looks like a pretty good surface, we know how important it is to bowl and get off to a good start,” he said. “From a personal point of view, the players have to stand up and be counted. From the team’s point of view, it is better to lose a series 3-2 than 4-1 or 5-0.”
The game was scheduled to begin under clear blue skies at the Daren Sammy Stadium on the same pitch used on Thursday, when England won by three wickets.
