The hosts West Indies will take on Australia in the fourth game of the five-match T20I series at Darren Sammy Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia on Wednesday.
Currently, West Indies is leading this series by a 3-0 margin with two matches to go. The hosts won the first three games of this series by 18 runs, 56 runs, and six wickets respectively. The home side might make one or two changes to their playing XI for this game.
On the other hand, Australia has lacked experience in the batting department. In the previous game, the middle-order failed to accelerate in the final ten overs of the innings. Captain Aaron Finch will be hoping that the side can deliver a disciplined performance with bat and ball.

Teams Status

West Indies

The hosts have played excellent cricket against Australia in this T20I series. Kieron Pollard is expected to come into the final XI as Shimron Hetymer or Andre Fletcher could be rested for this fourth T20I.

After suffering from a lean run in the T20 format, stand-in captain Nicholas Pooran managed to find some form with the bat for West Indies. The left-hander scored unbeaten 32 off 27 balls to see West Indies complete the chase in the 15th over of the innings.

The big positive from the previous game was veteran batsman Chris Gayle showing excellent form with the bat. Left-hander smashed a scintillating 67 runs to help West Indies cruise to a comfortable win. He smashed four boundaries and seven sixes in his innings.

Due to a match-winning half-century in the previous game, Chris Gayle is the leading run-scorer in this T20I series, in-form all-rounder Andre Russell is the second most run-scorer in this series by scoring 82 runs as his scores in this series are 51,24*, 7* runs.

Shimron Hetymer has shown decent form in this T20I series and scored match-winning 61 runs in the second game of this series.

Leg-spinner Hayden Walsh Jr. has picked up eight wickets in three matches while left-arm pacer Obed McCoy, who bowled just one over in the previous T20I, has got 5 wickets in two matches. Also, the left-arm spinner Fabian Allen has taken 4 wickets in this series.

Australia

After suffering back-to-back defeats in the T20I series, the visitors will be desperate to turn things around in the T20 format.

Captain Aaron Finch (30 off 31 balls) and Mathew Wade (23 off 16 balls) played superbly in the previous game and they will need to continue their decent form in this game as well. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has shown excellent form with the bat in this T20Iseries by scoring 51, 54 and 9 runs respectively.

The All-rounder duo of Moises Henriques and Ashton Turner put on a 59-run partnership to help Australia post a modest score of 141 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Henriques scored 33 runs off 29 balls with the help of two sixes. He was well supported by Ashton Turner, who scored 24 runs off 22 balls.

In the last game, left-arm quick Mitchell Starc made a stunning comeback with the ball in hand. He picked one wicket and conceded only just 15 runs in his four overs.

In this T20I series, Pacer Josh Hazlewood has got four wickets in three matches while Mitchell Marsh has taken 3 wickets in three matches.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip 1- West Indies on a six-match winning streak against Australia

Since the 2012 T20 World Cup semifinal game in Sri Lanka, West Indies have dominated the proceedings against Australia in the shorter format of the game. The Men in Maroon have managed to win six T20I matches on the bounce against Australia and will be looking to continue their unbeaten run in the remainder of this T20I series. So we expect West Indies to register a comfortable win over Australia in 4th [email protected].

Tip 2- Mitchell Starc will look to deliver something special for Australia

After conceding well over 40 runs in the first two matches of the T20I series against West Indies, Mitchell Starc put in an excellent performance in the third game on Monday. Left-arm quick dismissed Andre Fletcher in the opening over of the innings and conceded less than four runs an over in the match.

Given his significant improvement in the 3rd T20I, we expect pacer Mitchell Starc to take one wicket or more in this fourth [email protected].

Conclusion

There is no doubt that West Indies have been a superior unit in this T20I series. With the likes of Chris Gayle, Shimron Hetymer, Dwayne Bravo, Andre Russell put in excellent contributions with the bat, West Indies look unstoppable at the moment.

Expect West Indies to comfortably brush aside Australia in the 4th T20I.
