West Indies (WI) and India (IND) collide with each other in the decider after winning two games apiece in the series. The fifth and final T20 international is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 13th, 2023 at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida at 8.00 PM IST. Notably, Team India's tour of WI and the USA will be concluded with this final T20I.
However, before the game goes live, here is a look at some of the important player stats, the prime player picks, and the best-suggested XIs for the fantasy contests of this fixture.
After losing the opening two matches of the series, Hardik Pandya and his side bounced back to win the next two and level the series 2-2. Speaking about the fourth encounter, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill put on a record 165-run opening stand to make a mockery of the 179-run target set by the Men in Maroon. The former smashed an unbeaten 84 while Gill scored 77 to claim a series-levelling victory. Both sides will look to snatch a win here and seal the series 3-2 in their favour.
