Four of the last six completed one-day internationals played at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada have been won by the side bowling first. Since the wicket at this ground is expected to offer more assistance to the bowlers early on, the team that wins the toss here on Wednesday is likely to bowl first.

Fast bowler Kemar Roach is struggling with a back injury and he has therefore been ruled out of the remainder of the series. The West Indian selectors have called up all-rounder Andre Russell as a replacement for Roach. The hosts had made just the one change to their side for the second ODI - Nicholas Pooran who failed to open his account in the first game was dropped and replaced by Sheldon Cottrell with the aim of adding a bit more strength in the bowling department. For this fourth game, the Windies are likely to retain the entire line-up from the second ODI.
Chris Gayle is looking in ominous form. The explosive opening batsman hit a big hundred in the first game and followed that up with a fifty in the second. The Windies will want their key man to continue his excellent form. Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer have also weighed in with vital contributions. While the former scored 64 in the opening ODI, the latter is coming off an unbeaten ton. Sheldon Cottrell and skipper Jason Holder have been the most impressive of the West Indian bowlers and these two in tandem can cause problems for England with the new ball on Wednesday. Holder has collectively taken five wickets in the two matches while Cottrell claimed a five-fer in the second match and helped his team pull off a dramatic win. Devendra Bishoo was very economical in his last outing and his spells in the middle overs will be crucial.
West Indies have won three and lost five of their last eight completed one-day internationals. They were humbled by six wickets in the high-scoring first ODI of the ongoing series but came back strongly to level the series with a 26-run victory in the second. The Windies have looked impressive with the bat in both the matches, posting 360 and 289 respectively on the scoreboard while batting first.

Chris Woakes missed the second ODI as he was recuperating from an injury and was replaced by Tom Curran. Woakes has fully recovered now and is set to be back in action in the fourth game. Ben Stokes was not named in England's playing eleven for Monday's washed-out game due to a sprained ankle and he was replaced by batsman Alex Hales. The all-rounder, however, is expected to be fit by Wednesday. Aside from Stokes coming in for Hales, we don't expect England to make any more changes to their side for this match.
Jason Roy, Joe Root and Eoin Morgan have had a very good ODI series so far. Roy and Root were the stars for England in the first game with knocks of 123 and 102 respectively and the onus will once again be on this opening pair to take the team off to a blazing start. Morgan is leading from the front with half-centuries in both the matches and he looks set for another big score here. Ben Stokes struck 79 last time and he has also taken four wickets in the series. The all-rounder will be another key man for the visitors if he is deemed fit enough to play on Wednesday. Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid are the other big threats in England's bowling group. Rashid has been amongst the wickets while Woakes, who looked in good rhythm in the first game, will be raring to go after having missed the second game.
England's defeat at Bridgetown was their second loss in their last eight completed matches in the fifty-over format. They started this series off on a high, overhauling the Windies' mammoth total of 360 to register a comfortable six-wicket win in the end. In the second ODI, however, the visitors experienced a lower-order batting collapse in their chase of 290, losing their last six wickets for only 35 runs to end up losing by 26 runs.

England begin as favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this fourth one-day international. The tourists are being offered at short odds of 1.40 on Betway, 1.44 on Bet365 and 1.47 on Betfair. West Indies, despite winning the last match, find themselves as outsiders once again at a higher price of 2.87 on Betway, 2.75 on Bet365 and 3 on Betfair.
With the series leveled at 1-1, both the teams will want to secure a win here and ensure that they cannot possibly lose the series. West Indies will take a lot of confidence from their victory in the second ODI and would be hoping for their bowlers to put on a good show once again. They have also won their last five completed ODIs at this venue. However, all of those wins have come against the lesser teams like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. England would have been very upset with themselves after screwing a fantastic opportunity to take a 2-0 lead in the series. But the visitors will look to regroup and rectify the mistakes they committed last time and we feel they will come out on top this time around.
