Overview

West Indies have been in brilliant form throughout this series and will look to travel to Bangladesh for the ICC T20 World Cup with a whitewash under their belt.

The defending champions have proved that their win in similar circumstances in Sri lanka was not a fluke and will go into the tournament as worthy contenders to defend their title.

The leadership of Darren Sammy has had a great effect on the team, who have responded to his directions and in spite of his profligacy on the field and with the ball is the right person to lead the Carribean side.

Meanwhile, England are struggling to find any sort of form in recent months, succumbing to yet another series defeat after the ignominy in the Ashes.

The visitors were overwhelmed by the West Indies batsmen who hit the ball out of the park with ease and never gave England a chance to host a proper fightback.

Ian Bell is set to be slotted into the side in place of the injured Joe Root and inspite of the player not being known for his hard-hitting, his inclusion may give them some much needed stability, which has been amiss recently.

The absence of Kevin Pieterson has done nothing for the betterment of the team which has gone from bad to worse and need a miracle to produce a performance of any credence in the upcoming world series in Bangladesh.
