WI vs AUS 4th T20 Dream11 Prediction Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | WI vs AUS 4th T20 Dream11 Prediction Today | West Indies vs Australia 4th T20I Key Players | St. Lucia Pitch Report

With barely a whimper, Australia lost the T20I series – a scarcely believable proposition given the position they were in in the opening T20I. Since the opening 10 overs of their batting this series, Australia have struggled, with the latest being a score of 142/5 where they simply couldn’t accelerate.

Contrast this with West Indies. The Windies have hit an astounding 30 sixes in three games, a huge 19 more than Australia’s paultry 11. Also, they will be thrilled with the return to form of Chris Gayle, as the bowlers continue to dominate the Aussie batsmen who don’t have many answers.

Now, the attention turns to keeping hopes of a series whitewash alive. The way things are going, it would take a brave person to bet otherwise.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

West Indies:

• Welcome back, Chris Gayle. Before the last game, Gayle had struck just 102 runs in nine innings in T20Is in 2021, at an average and strike rate of just 12.75 and 92.72. The great T20 batsman then slammed a 38-ball 67, going past 14,000 T20 runs in the process in a reminder to “respect the Universe Boss”.
• Andre Russell is enjoying a fine series. His 82 runs have come at an amazing strike rate of 215.78, which is just below his T20 career strike rate on this ground (224.66). He has also taken a couple of wickets.
• Lendl Simmons is threatening to go big, but hasn’t quite been able to yet. He has made scores of 27, 30 and 15 in this series.
• Hayden Walsh Jr has been all over Australia in this series. His eight wickets have cost just 8.75 apiece, with an economy rate of just 5.83. Expect him to have a say once again.
• His spin partner, Fabian Allen, has taken three wickets and is a livewire in the field. His catching has been simply brilliant.

Australia:

• No player has scored more runs than Mitchell Marsh this series, despite his low score last game. His 114 runs features two half-centuries and a strike rate of 134.11.
• Aaron Finch’s form continues to be a worry for Australia, most evident in his strike rate of just 90.90. With the series now over, will that be the catalyst for Finch to tee off and play a blinder?
• Matthew Wade has looked in promising form this series without going on to make the big score (scores of 33, 0, 23). If Australia bats first, one can be confident in Wade making a decent contribution. When batting first in T20s, he has scored 1,969 runs at 36.46 (SR 149.05). When batting second, the numbers drop significantly to 17.67 and 117.78 respectively.
• Mitchell Starc produced his best spell of the series and most economical of his T20I career (1/15). Can he back it up with another strong effort here?
• Riley Meredith went for over 12 an over last game, but his wicket-taking ability is telling (3/48). Josh Hazlewood still leads the wicket-taking charts for Australia this series (4), but Australia could look at bringing in another spinner.
• Adam Zampa has been a disappointment for Australia this series. Given West Indies have struggled against wrist-spin in recent times, Zampa’s wicketless series to date is a surprise for many. Can he bounce back?

Stats and Facts

Possible Playing 11

If Evin Lewis is fit, he should slot in for Andre Fletcher. Also, there are doubts over Obed McCoy’s fitness, as he bowled just the one over in the third T20I. Oshane Thomas could come in.

West Indies: 1. Lendl Simmons, 2. Andre Fletcher/Evin Lewis, 3. Chris Gayle, 4. Shimron Hetmyer, 5. Nicholas Pooran (c & wk), 6. Andre Russell, 7. Dwayne Bravo, 8. Fabian Allen, 9. Hayden Walsh Jr, 10. Obed McCoy/Oshane Thomas, 11. Sheldon Cottrell

Ashton Agar and Ben McDermott reportedly missed the last T20I due to injury, and will be monitored. Also, Australia could look to play an extra spinner.

Australia: 1. Aaron Finch (c), 2. Matthew Wade (wk), 3. Mitchell Marsh, 4. Alex Carey, 5. Moises Henrqiues, 6. Ashton Turner, 7. Dan Christian/Ashton Agar, 8. Mitchell Starc, 9. Riley Meredith, 10. Adam Zampa, 11. Josh Hazlewood/Mitchell Swepson

Daren Sammy National Stadium Pitch Report and Weather

Runs are available, if you’re good enough. West Indies have handled the conditions much better than Australia have. Barring the first 10 overs of the series, Australia have barely been able to get the ball to the boundaries. West Indies will be hoping for more of the same in similar conditions, which should be fine.
