England will bat first against the West Indies in the final of the ICC World Twenty20.

West Indies captain Darren Sammy has won a 10th toss in a row ahead of the final of the ICC World Twenty20.

As a result, he has decided to put Eoin Morgan's England into bat first on the Kolkata wicket.

The winner of the contest will become the first in the competition's history to get their hands on the trophy for a second time.

When the two nations met in the group stages, the West Indies recorded a six-wicket win thanks to an unbeaten century from Chris Gayle.
