India vs West Indies, 4th T20I: Toss result and playing XIs for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Having won the third T20I by an impressive margin of seven wickets in Guyana, India would now look to register a come-from-behind series win by clinching the last two matches in Lauderhill, Florida on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

West Indies, on the other hand, would be keen to register a series triumph, which would be a morale booster after the low of not qualifying for the ODI World Cup.

After a disappointing start to the T20I series, India got their act right in the must-win clash. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav continued his impressive form with the ball, claiming 3/28. Axar Patel bowled his full quota of four overs and did a decent job, registering figures of 1/24.

The top-order batting remains a concern. Ishan Kishan struggled in the first two T20Is and was not picked in the XI for the third. Barring the 85 in the third ODI, Shubman Gill has hardly scored any runs on the tour.

Suryakumar Yadav’s return to runs in the previous game was a welcome development, while talks have already begun about drafting Tilak Varma into ODIs after an impressive start to his T20I career.
