India also did not have a great outing and lost the fourth T20I by 24 runs. Continuing the trend for high scoring game, West Indies posted a mammoth score of 247-3 in 20 overs. Earlier, the team had chased 250 in the second T20I and it was India’s turn to pull off another massive chase. India, however, did not get the platform they wanted.

Eventually, India fell a few runs short of the target. For West Indies, the star was once Shai Hope, who scored yet another century on the tour to help his team square off the series.
The final T20I of the series will now decide the winner, and it will be played on Octover 17 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, a venue known to produce high scoring games.
