BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC:West Indies will be looking to win the seventh and final one-day international cricket match and regain some lost prestige against England today.
Brian Lara's side lead the weather-affected seven-match series 2-1, after successfully chasing totals of just over 280 twice over the past weekend in St. Lucia.
England won the opener in Guyana and three others (two in Trinidad and one in Grenada) ended in no-results because of rain.
WIN THE REMAINING THREE
"We knew from the time the matches in Trinidad and Grenada were washed out, we had to win the remaining three to win this series," West Indies captain Brian Lara told reporters at the pre-match news conference yesterday.
"We have completed two-thirds of the job and we are looking forward to the match. It is very important that we continue improving. We had a good weekend in St. Lucia, but improvement is still needed for us to make sure and win this last match.
"England, obviously, will be looking to do the same and we have got to be able to get on top of them all the way."
West Indies have boosted their attack by including fast bowler Tino Best, who took 12 wickets in the preceding Test series, but is yet to make his one-day debut, in a squad of 12 from which the final 11 will be selected for the match.
"We need some more firepower in our attack," Lara conceded. "In the first 15 overs in the matches in St. Lucia, we saw guys using their feet to our new ball bowlers.
