After a long delay due to a wet outfield, the toss has taken place in Roseau and the West Indies have won the toss and decided to field first. It will be 16-over game.
"We will bowl first. The conditions are overcast, it is better we bat second. I'm enjoying captaincy, happy to be in this position where I can be there for all my guys. Obed McCoy is back after a while, looking forward to seeing how he goes in these conditions. Thanks to the crowds, we will try to entertain them," said the West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran.

I think West Indies are always a good T20 side, we will try to get a good score and try to build some momentum. We are playing with 3 spinners, 2 fast bowlers and a few all-rounders as well," he said.
