Earlier, West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first on a wicket that looked really good to bat on. West Indies made a couple of change in the playing XI as Darren Bravo misses the game with torn hamstring and is replaced by Jonathan Carter, while Sulieman Benn is replaced by Nikita Miller. Having played two matches apiece in the tournament, both teams stand on the same ground with a win and loss so far. This would also be the sixth clash between both teams at the mega event with West Indies, holding a clean advantage of winning the previous five encounters.
