England VS West Indies 5TH ODI: Predictions, Team News, Predicted Dream XI
England beat West Indies in the fourth ODI by 29 runs to take the 5 match series lead 2-1 with one final ODI left to be played at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Barring the third ODI which had got abandoned due to rain, all the other three ODIs have been high-scoring games and the final ODI isn’t likely to be any different.
England batsmen have been in splendid form, posting a mammoth 418 runs in the fourth ODI, courtesy a 204 run stand between skipper Eoin Morgan and wicket-keeper Jos Buttler. Spearheaded by universal boss Chris Gayle, West Indies made sure it won’t be a one-sided contest as they took the match till the very end only to be fell short of just 29 runs in the end and getting bowled out on 389 Wednesday. Perhaps, this has been the story throughout the series with matches going down to the wire.

Pitch Report of Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium
Established in 2004, Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium is well suited for batting and one can expect another high-scoring game with the final ODI once again likely to go down to the wire. So far, New Zealand has posted the highest score here in 2007, scoring 363 for 5 against Canada.
Key Bowlers
West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell has been the most successful bowler for West Indies, picking up six wickets in two matches. Mark Wood starred in last ODI, claiming four wickets in his quota of ten overs. He has bowled pretty well in the series and will be a key bowler for England in the final ODI. One of the major reasons for West Indies setback in the series has been England’s spinner Adil Rashid who has been successful in putting the brakes whenever Windies tried to accelerate the innings.
Key Batsman
Every batsman from number one till number seven position has been in fine form for England. England batting line up looks solid and it looks almost impossible to decide who to pick and who to include in the eleven. But you don’t have to worry about that as we are going to make it a little easier for you as you go through the article.
West Indies batsmen are also playing wonderfully, be it openers or the middle-order. Chris Gayle along with Hetmyer and Darren Bravo are some of the must-have players in the eleven.
All-Rounders
Stokes and Walkes bat deep in the England line-up and perhaps won’t get to face many deliveries in the match with their top-order batsmen in stellar form. Brathwaite batted and bowled pretty well in the previous match and is looking in good touch, thus making him the ideal candidate for the all-rounder position along with Jason Holder.
Final Verdict
Thus, we recommend you to add more batsmen and all-rounders and fewer bowlers, expecting the final ODI to be another high-scoring affair.

Liam Plunkett, Eoin Morgan (c), Adil Rashid, Jos Buttler (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Mark Wood
