WI Playing 11: With series level at 2-2, it’s time for the decider to which team lifts the trophy. West Indies and South Africa take on each other in the 5th T20I here at Grenada. The hosts made a spirited comeback in the last match after trailing the series 1-2. Skipper Pollard fired at the right time while Dwayne Bravo showed his experience and skills with a 4-wicket haul. SA still leads the overall head-to-head record in T20Is 8-6. But a star studded West Indies line-up will look to end their home summer on a high.

Windies have a star studded line-up with plenty of experience in this format. Lendl Simmons has been superb on his return and he is likely to play a big role here. Gayle and Pooran’s lack of runs though, is a slight concern for the team. This match might be a perfect platform for both of them to get into form. In bowling, Fidel Edwards is likely to get another chance while Obed McCoy has been a superb find for WI in the series.
