Toss India chose to bat vs West Indies

Hardik Pandya called correctly and an unchanged India elected to bat in the series-deciding fifth T20I in Lauderhill. Rovman Powell, his West Indies counterpart, said he would've wanted to bowl first anyway, which means both teams got what they wanted.

Having gone from 2-0 up to 2-2 in the series, Powell hoped to put on a show to bring back smiles on their fans' faces. A series win here will also come as a massive boost to the team as they look to build towards next year's T20 World Cup on home soil - West Indies are co-hosts with the USA.
