Explaining his decision to field first, Jos Buttler said: We are going to bowl again. Looks like a really good wicket. Two changes. Rashid and Jofra Archer come in. We had a high-scoring game yesterday, we'll try to learn from that. We did a pretty good job (with the ball), a couple of really big overs. Setting the tone with the ball today, we'll try to do a good job today.
His opposite number, Rovman Powell said: "It's a case of us following the same template today. IF you bat first, you got to bat really good. The guys are upbeat. We have one change. McCoy misses out, Romario Shepherd comes in. It's been five games, the bodies wear and tear, that is something we have to keep monitoring. It's important (to finish 3-2). The fans would hope that WI play good, We want to put smiles on their faces."
