Australia's Caribbean tour continues as they face West Indies in the 4th T20I at Warner Park, St Kitts, on July 27, 2025. Having secured a 3-0 lead in the five-match T20I series and already sweeping the Test series 3-0, the Aussies are truly playing with remarkable determination and confidence. The West Indies find themselves on the verge of a potential series whitewash.
In the third T20I at Warner Park, Australia's batting strength was just too much for the West Indies to handle, even with their decent effort. Among the hosts' 214 runs was captain Shai Hope's magnificent century, which saw him score 102 runs off of 57 balls and go undefeated. Opening batter Brandon King also scored 62 runs for the Caribbean side.
But Australia’s batters had other ideas. The Australian team chased the target in 16.1 overs with Tim David leading the charge with a century as he scored 102 runs off 37 balls while Mitchell Owen scored 36 runs off 16 balls. Other Australian batters also had a decent contribution towards the successful run chase. It was a game all about the batters.
Now that the series is over, Australia might shuffle their team a bit, giving some of the bench players a shot to step up. For the West Indies, it’s more than just about winning the last two matches; it’s about restoring some pride.

The West Indies are going through a rough patch in T20 cricket, with just a single win in their last five games, that win coming against Ireland in a tough contest. The remaining matches have been tough losses, including the three they've faced in this series.
Meanwhile things are looking great for Australia right now. They’re unbeaten in their last five T20Is, and after sweeping the Tests earlier and three wins on the trot in T20Is during this tour, their morale is at an all-time high.
Over the years, these teams have built a fierce T20I rivalry, with 24 games played. With their victory in the third T20I, Australia advanced to a 13-11 lead in the ongoing head-to-head matchup. In-fact Australia was behind the West Indies before the series. West Indies have the firepower to rival Australia, but they need to bring their best version to change the story.
Warner Park is a true paradise for batters, with boundaries as close as 60–70 meters, inviting powerful sixes and thrilling moments. High-scoring contests happen often in this venue, with totals exceeding 200 quite a bit, just as we saw in the previous game, the 3rd T20I. The pitch starts flat, offering pace and bounce for fast bowlers early on, but spinners come into their own as the ball grips later. Chasing teams have won 60% of T20s at this venue, so the toss could be a game-changer.
West Indies: Brandon King, Shai Hope (C), Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Jediah Blades.
Australia: Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh (C), Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Sean Abbott.
The West Indies skipper has been their best batter in this format and it was visible in the previous match. Hope scored a century as he scored 102 runs off 57 balls. With the pitch quite good for batting, expect him to come good again.
The Warner Park in St Kitts is not a bowler’s den. With no help from the surface, it is upto the bowlers to just stick to the line and length and hope that the batters make mistakes. This is where Jason Holder with all his experience can be key for the West Indies.
While Mitchell Marsh didn't really have a great game in the 3rd T20I at the venue, the Australian captain is a menacing batter. He can take full advantage of the smaller boundaries and go after the opponent bowlers.
For the Australian team, Nathan Ellis can play an important role in this match. With the pitch giving little to no assistance for the bowlers, Ellis can use his variations and cutter to outsmart the West Indies batters.
Honestly, Australia has been in a league of their own. They dominated the tour, winning the Tests 3-0 and turning the T20I series into just batting practice. With Inglis, Marsh, Cameron Green, Tim David, and Mitchell Owen in their line-up, bowling to them is a real challenge. Even without Cummins or Starc, their bowlers are hitting their marks perfectly.
The West Indies have some serious talent, Shai Hope, Brandon King, and Rovman Powell can dismantle any bowling attack, but their bowling has been way too costly, and they've let some vital catches slip by.
Australia's approach to chasing fits perfectly with Warner Park's high-scoring traits, which they've demonstrated consistently in this series. With the fans behind them, the hosts could really energize the game, and players like Hope could steal the show, but honestly, Australia's got the edge here. We are picking Australia to win the 4th T20I, keeping their winning streak alive at 4-0.
