WI vs SA 4th T20I Match Preview
West Indies:
After completely dominating in the 1st T20I, they have lost the plot from the last 2 games. They are performing well but are not able to cross the line in the end. They lost the last game by just 1 run. Their bowlers have been performing fantastic for them in this series so far. Obed McCoy brilliantly in the last game and picked up 4 wickets.

Lendl Simmons got the opportunity in the last game and batted decently by scoring 22 runs. Evin Lewis also batted well and scored 27 runs. Their middle-order is failing from the last 2 games to take their team to victory. It seems like their middle-order is trying to be over aggressive in some situations. Jason Holder was promoted at No 3 in the absence of Universe boss but did not last long and was dismissed for 16 runs. Nicholas Pooran played a decent knock of 27 runs in the last game but was not in a good rhythm. Their big hitters Pollard and Russell are yet to deliver match-winning knocks for their team.
