Toss Update: West Indies won the toss and opted to field first.
After being sent into bat first, openers - Rohit Sharma (33 off 16) and Suryakumar Yadav (24 off 14) - got India off to a flier with a 44-run opening wicket partnership. India posted a score of 191 on the board losing 5 wickets in 20 overs. Rishabh Pant (44 off 31) was the top scorer for India while Sanju Samson (30* off 23) and Axar Patel (20* off 8) provided the late impetus to the scorecard.
Obed McCoy may have been the home team hero in the 2nd T20I of this series with a 6-wicket haul but Indian batters targetted him heavily in this 4th T20I. His figures of 2/66 from his 4 overs are his most expensive numbers in this format of the game!

Arshdeep Singh was the top wicket-taker with 3 wickets while Avesh Khan was the pick of Indian bowlers with 2-17 from his 4 overs. In a format where Windies were termed favorites, India are ruling the series at the moment!
Match result: India defeated West Indies by a margin of 59 runs.
Avesh Khan has been adjudged as the Player of the Match for his crucial contribution of 2-17 from his 4 overs. The fifth and final T20I of the 5-match series will be played at Lauderhill on Sunday (Aug 07).
