Planet Sport offers tips and suggested bets for the fourth T20I between West Indies and England.

England kept the series alive with a stirring win in the third T20I in Grenada but still face a must-win scenario if they are to take the contest to a decider.

The West Indies might feel they fell victim to complacency last time out but they should credit the explosive English top with getting their team back into the game.

The Brian Lara Cricket Academy Stadium in Tarouba, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago will stage a T20I for just the third time. The West Indies have won one and lost one at the venue having played both internationals against India.

West Indies vs England Fourth T20I: Suggested bets

There are still plenty of sportsbooks offering Phil Salt at attractive odds to end up as the leading scorer for England in this game. Considering his form and team role, this appears to be a very generous offering and one well worth taking up.

The West Indies have been a little more unpredictable, with Shai Hope the most reliable batter but far more devastating hitters present in the lineup all up and down the order. In the third T20I it was Nicholas Pooran who top-scored.

Leg-spinner Gudakesh Motie finally took some punishment in the third match of the series, but he still looks like the West Indies' greatest threat when it comes to wicket-taking.

The bookies seem to think that Jason Holder and Matthew Forde are more likely to be the top-wicket taker with Motie and golden-armed Andre Russell offered at longer odds to bag the most English wickets.

England's left-arm seamers appear to be their big threat, and it is hard to isolate just one with Tymal Mills and Reece Topley backed up by allrounder Sam Curran, who has already shown what he can do in this series.
