Teams Preview
West Indies
The home side might make one change to their playing XI for this final game of the series. Off-spinner Akeal Hosein might come in place of Fidel Edwards or Fabian Allen, who have looked ordinary with the ball this series.
For this game, the home side will be relying on the top-order trio of Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons and Chris Gayle to deliver the bulk of the runs.
In the previous game, Lendl Simmons once again showed excellent form and perished in the 7th over after scoring 21 runs off 19 balls. Besides Simmons, the middle-order completely crumbled against the spinners.
Kieron Pollard, Fabian Allen and Obed McCoy produced double digit scores but it wasn’t enough as West Indies get bundled out for 117 runs in 18.4 overs.
In the bowling department, Dwayne Bravo was the pick of the bowlers and claimed 2 for 25 in his four overs. Besides Bravo, Jason Holder and Obed McCoy claimed one wicket apiece.
West Indies Actual Playing XI:
Obed McCoy, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Kevin Sinclair, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, LMP Simmons, Evin Lewis, Fabian Allen, Chris Gayle

The Islanders managed to end their eight-match losing streak after registering a dominant 43-run win, courtesy excellent contributions from Danushka Gunathilaka, Pathum Nissanka and Wanindu Hasaranga.
In the batting department, the side will be relying heavily on their in-form opening pair of Danushka Gunathilaka and Pathum Nissanka to deliver notable scores in this series finale.
In the 2nd T20I, openers Danushka Gunathilaka and Pathum Nissanka get the side off to an excellent start, courtesy 95-run partnership.
For Sri Lanka, Danushka Gunathilaka showed composure and excellent touch with the bat against West Indies bowler. Left-hander played exceedingly well and finished the innings with the top-score of 56 runs off 42 balls with the help of four boundaries and two sixes. He was well supported by rookie Pathum Nissanka, who chipped in with splendid 37 off 23 balls with the help of four fours and one six.
Once Gunathilaka and Nissanka perished in quick succession, the likes of Angelo Matthews, Wanindu Hasaranga and Ashen Bandara delivered crucial runs to help Sri Lanka post a competitive score of 160 runs for the loss of six wickets in their 20 overs.
In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the spin trio of Akila Dhananjaya, Lakshan Sandakan and Wanindu Hasaranga to provide crucial breakthroughs in this contest.
