Toss Prediction
The wicket at the Queen's Park Oval tends to favor the bowling side more after the first period of play. And also since the side batting first here has won more times than the side batting second, the toss-winning team in this game may prefer batting first. This has been a pretty lucky ground for the West Indies as far as toss is concerned. So we predict the hosts to win the toss.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No changes are expected in the West Indian lineup for this upcoming match and there are no injuries in the team.
Key Players
West Indies will look to Evin Lewis and Marlon Samuels to deliver the goods with the bat. Samuels has had a good hit in the series and the team will back him to produce a valuable innings in this match. The wicket will assist spinners which means Sunil Narine will have a big role to play when it comes to bowling. The offspinner has been the standout bowler for the West Indies in this series and he will be the key figure in their bowling lineup.
Recent Form
West Indies have struggled to win in the shortest version of the game in recent times and the absence of someone like Chris Gayle or Dwayne Bravo is clearly felt. Though they have done alright with the ball in this series, it is their batting that has let them down.
West Indies Predicted Playing 11
-
E Lewis, CAK Walton (wk), MN Samuels, LMP Simmons, KA Pollard, R Powell, CR Brathwaite (c), JO Holder, SP Narine, S Badree, KOK Williams.
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team will go into this match with a clean bill of health as all their players are in good physical condition. The same group of eleven that played the last game are likely to be retained.
Key Players
Shoaib Malik and Babar Azam are the two batsmen in the side who have been among the runs in this series and so Pakistan are going to rely on them for getting the big runs. Malik seems to be in better form and the team will expect him to bat longer. If there is one bowler in this Pakistani bowling attack that the West Indian batters do not want to face, it has to be Shadab Khan. The legspinner is in ominous form at the moment and he is likely to trouble the hosts again with his deceptive variations.
Recent Form
Pakistan have been very consistent in the 20-overs format since losing to Australia last year in a World T20 game in India. They beat England in their own backyard, whitewashed the West Indies 3-0 in the UAE and are now dominating them again in this series.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
-
Kamran Akmal, Ahmed Shehzad, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Fakhar Zaman, Sarfraz Ahmed (c/wk), Imad Wasim, Sohail Tanvir, Shadab Khan, Wahab Riaz, Hasan Ali.
West Indies vs Pakistan 4th T20 Prediction
West Indies have struggled with the bat big time in this series and they just don't seem to find an answer to Shadab Khan's legbreaks. They may be the world champions in this format but they have not played like champions of late. If their batsmen can somehow put in an extra effort, they might have an outside chance. But seeing how things have turned out so far, we don't expect them to improve overnight and therefore predict Pakistan to end the series with a win.
Final Verdict: Back Pakistan to beat West Indies in the fourth and the final T20 international
