Basseterre: West Indies captain Darren Sammy won the toss on Monday and chose to bat first in the fifth and final one-day international against New Zealand.
West Indies retained the same team that defeated the Kiwis by 24 runs on Saturday in the fourth match at the same venue of Warner Park, taking an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.
New Zealand made three changes. Andrew Ellis came in to replace fellow allrounder Jacob Oram, fast bowler Kyle Mills edged out Doug Bracewell and Daniel Flynn was included instead of off-spinning allrounder Nathan McCullum.
West Indies: Johnson Charles, Chris Gayle, Dwayne Smith, Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Devon Thomas (wk), Darren Sammy (capt), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Tino Best.
New Zealand: Rob Nicol, Martin Guptill, Brendon McCullum, Ross Taylor (capt), Kane Williamson, Daniel Flynn, Tom Latham (wk), Andrew Ellis, Tim Southee, Kyle Mills, Trent Boult.
