IND vs WI 2022, 5th T20I: Today's match players list, teams & umpires

Can the Men in Blue clinch the series 4-1?

Having clinched the five-match series against West Indies with a comprehensive 59-run win in the fourth T20I, Team India will now be keen to sign off on a high. With that aim in mind, the Men in Blue will take on the Windies in the final T20I in Lauderhill on Sunday (August 7).

Barring the second match of the series in St Kitts, in which Obed McCoy’s six-fer stunned India, Rohit Sharma’s men have dominated proceedings. Their performance in the fourth T20I was a complete team effort.

Not a single batter scored a half-century. Yet, thanks to good contributions all round, Team India managed to put up a challenging 191 for five on the board.

While defending the total, under-fire fast bowler Avesh Khan got the team off to a terrific start, claiming two early wickets. Arshdeep Singh (3/12), Ravi Bishnoi (2/27) and Axar Patel (2/48) all chipped in to ensure West Indies never got anywhere close to the target.
