West Indies Form

West Indies will be looking to respond after a six-wicket defeat in the third ODI, where their batting struggled and they were bowled out for 140 in 37.1 overs.

Keacy Carty again provided resistance with 48 off 77 balls, while Ackeem Auguste and Shimron Hetmyer added 26 each. However, the rest of the lineup failed to build meaningful scores, allowing New Zealand to take control.

There were positives with the ball, as Vitel Lawes claimed 3/39 in 10 overs and Khary Pierre bowled tightly for 1/26 at an economy of 2.60. With the series still alive, West Indies need a stronger all-round display, especially from their top order.

New Zealand Form

New Zealand enter the fourth ODI with confidence after a comfortable six-wicket win gave them a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.

Their bowlers were excellent in dismissing West Indies for 140. Jayden Lennox led the way with 4/52, while Mitchell Santner took 2/15 and Michael Bracewell added 2/33

In reply, New Zealand reached 141/4 in 39.3 overs. Tom Latham finished unbeaten on 31, with Daryl Mitchell making 28 and Dean Foxcroft adding 22 not out. The chase was measured rather than explosive, but always under control.

New Zealand have looked the more balanced side and will now aim to seal the series with another composed all-round performance.

Team news

Bridgetown is expected to be mostly cloudy, with temperatures around 30°C, 68% humidity and winds of 31 km/h. No rain is forecast, so a full match is likely. Kensington Oval usually offers a balanced ODI surface, with early pace and bounce before spin becomes more useful. Chasing has held a slight historical advantage.

West Indies (possible XI): John Campbell, Ackeem Auguste, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (c), Sherfane Rutherford, Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul, Gudakesh Motie, Khary Pierre, Alzarri Joseph, Vitel Lawes.

New Zealand (possible XI): Will Young, Henry Nicholls, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Dean Foxcroft, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c), Nathan Smith, Jacob Duffy, Jayden Lennox.
