Summary
- Keemo Paul took five wickets, crucial for the West Indies' win.
- Shai Hope scored an unbeaten 102 off 50 balls, driving the West Indies total.
- India's explosive start faltered after quick wickets in the fourth T20.
Keemo Paul's five-wicket haul was instrumental in the West Indies securing a 24-run victory over India in the fourth T20 International, leveling the five-match series at 2-2. Shai Hope's brilliant unbeaten 102 off 50 balls propelled the West Indies to a commanding total of 247/3.
India began their chase explosively, with Sanju Samson reaching a rapid half-century. However, Paul's decisive spell in the fifth over removed both Samson and Ishan Kishan, shifting the momentum. Despite efforts from Tilak Varma and Nitish Kumar Reddy, who added 59 runs, India's chase collapsed.
Paul dismantled the lower order, completing his five-wicket haul as India was bowled out for 223 in 19.3 overs. The West Indies' formidable total was built on Hope's spectacular century and Sherfane Rutherford's quickfire unbeaten 49, setting up a winner-takes-all contest.
