West Indies vs England, 4th T20I: Preview, fantasy tips, probable XIs Image

West Indies will host England for the fourth T20I of the five-match series, at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on 30 January. The hosts won the last game by 20 runs to take a 2-1 lead. 

Eoin Morgan, who missed the last game, has been ruled out of the rest of the series due to a quadricep injury. Moeen Ali will be the stand-in captain. Liam Livingstone is back in the mix, and he will come in place of Sam Billings. 

George Garton, who replaced Chris Jordan in the third T20I, leaked 57 in four overs. Despite that, he is likely to retain his place, alongside Reece Topley and Tymal Mills. Even though England conceded 224, Topley went for just over seven an over.

Barring the first game, Jason Roy and Tom Banton, who scored 73 in 39 balls, have managed to get England off to quick starts. However, their middle order has been inconsistent.

West Indies, on the other hand, are likely to go unchanged. They rode on a hundred from Rovman Powell and a 43-ball 70 from Nicholas Pooran to post 224 in the third T20I. Powell struck 10 sixes and four fours in his 53-ball 107. However, they will expect more from their openers, Brandon King and Shai Hope, who has managed 26 runs in three games.
