West Indies and England will clash in the third and final T20 International (T20I) in Basseterre on Sunday.
The visitors have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series after comfortable wins in the first and second T20, and therefore, the team which is led by Eoin Morgan will enter the contest on Sunday high on confidence as they will be looking to secure a series sweep.
In the batting department, the visiting side will be depending on captain Morgan, in-form Joe Root, Sam Billings and wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow to score bulk of the runs, whereas on the bowling front, the onus will be on pacers Chris Jordan, Liam Plunkett, Tom Curran and David Willey to do bulk of the damage with the ball in hand.
On the other hand, the homes side will be playing for pride after already losing the series. The team which is led by Jason Holder will be hurt after a dismal outing in the second T20I where the Caribbean giants suffered a humiliating 137-run defeat.
The team management will be extremely concerned about the batting unit in particular, as the home side was bowled out in less than 12 overs on Friday.
Therefore, the likes of wicketkeeper-batsman Shai Hope, young left-hander Shimron Hetmyer and Darren Bravo will have the responsibility to score bulk of the runs for the home side and give bowlers something to defend.

Therefore, the likes of wicketkeeper-batsman Shai Hope, young left-hander Shimron Hetmyer and Darren Bravo will have the responsibility to score bulk of the runs for the home side and give bowlers something to defend.
On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of captain Holder, Carlos Brathwaite, and Sheldon Cottrell to do bulk of the damage, whereas after Fabian Allen's impressive show in the second T20I, there are chances that West Indies might go in the match with two spinners and give leggie Davendra Bishoo a chance as well.
The game will be played at the same venue and on the same pitch where they second T20I was played, therefore, it is expected to be two-paced and it will be hard for batting, whereas weather is expected to stay fine throughout the day.
Key player:
Chris Jordan – 9 Cr
First in the list of key players features England's Chris Jordan. The right-arm pacer had an outstanding outing during the second T20I on Friday, where he registered his career-best figures in the shortest format of the game while representing his national team. Since Sunday's match will be played at the same venue and on the same pitch, having Jordan in your team might not prove to be a bad deal.
Sam Billings – 8.5 Cr
Second in the list of key players features England's Sam Billings. The right-hander is in great form off late in the white-ball cricket and showed his class with a blistering 87 off just 47 balls in the second T20I, which also earned him the player of the match award. That innings was a reminder of what Billings can do with a bat in hand when on song and therefore, he is the player to be in your team.
Jason Holder – 8.5 Cr
Last in the list of key players features West Indies captain Jason Holder. The 27-year-old is so far having a quite series according to his own standard where he has claimed just a single wicket and has scored seven runs in two innings. However, in the second T20I, Holder bowled a very important spell where even though he could not claim a wicket, but finished his quota with figures of 0-29. Since the match on Sunday is going to be played on the pitch which is a used one, Holder's height and change of pace can become a lethal weapon for your team.
