Then the bowlers displayed clinical performances, with all of them taking 1 wicket each and maintaining calm head during pressure situations.

1. Evin Lewis
The opener of the West Indies team has been playing well this year in the T20 format, and certainly has the momentum going through with him. Although, he was out cheaply in the last fixture, but has the capability to crush the bowlers, when in full flow. He has 68 runs in 3 matches of the tournament.
2. Nicholas Pooran
The aggressive player played one of the best innings for the West Indies team in the last league match for quite some time. Pooran hit 40 off 22 balls to take the team to a fighting total of 142 runs, which proved to be enough and will look to maintain the same form.
3. Roston Chase
The best all rounder in the Caribbean Premier League 2021 will be one of the best picks for this fixture. He made a comeback in the last fixture and was terrific to score 39 runs, which ultimately helped the team to secure their first victory in T20 World Cup 2021.
