The fifth and final T20I between West Indies and South Africa will be played in Grenada on Saturday. The rain gods have shown mercy so far at the venue with the matches played completely. Both teams have won two games each with the last game being the ultimate decider of the series.

West Indies are looking for back-to-back series wins while South Africa are searching for their first T20I series win since March 2019. Windies won their last T20I series against Sri Lanka while South Africa lost against Pakistan earlier this year in February. 

West Indies won the first T20I by 8 wickets, in a one-sided encounter, South Africa bounced back to win the 2nd T20I by 16 runs and a closely-contested third game by just one run. Windies bounced back through Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo to win the fourth game and level the series 2-2.
