Interested in the 4th T20 Predictions IND vs WI?
Well, you have come to the right place.
Background
Team India will play the 4th T20 International against West Indies on Saturday at the Central Broward Park, Broward County Stadium in Florida on Saturday.
India responded well after losing the second T20I and are sitting a 2-1 lead in the five-match clash.
In the 3rd T20, opener Kyle Mayers made a mark for West Indies scoring 73 runs off 50 balls.
No other batter crossed 25 and the innings folded for 164.
India’s response was impressive.
The architect of India’s win was Suryakumar Yadav who smashed 76 runs in just 44 balls.
He was ably supported by Shreyas Iyer (24) and Rishabh Pant (33 not out) as India successfully chased the target of 164 runs, losing just three wickets.
The only spot of worry was – Skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a back spam and retired hurt after scoring 11 off 5 deliveries.
Among the bowlers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar delivered as always with two wickets.
Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh bagged one wicket each.
Team News
Though Rohit Sharma has recovered from his back injury, there is a chance that he will sit out.
Hardik Pandya will captain India if Rohit is unavailable.
Shreyas Iyer’s form has been patchy and he might lose his place to Ishan Kishan.
Ashwin and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been consistent and will play, as this is a decisive match.
Avesh Khan has given away 78 runs in 5.2 overs in this series so far and Harshal Patel could replace him.
Arshdeep Singh is looking like a genuine contender for a spot in the T20 World Cup, having picked 4 wickets in 3 matches so far.
Brandon King scored a fifty in the 2nd T20I and his opening partner Kyle Mayers came good in the 3rd T20.
They will retain their spots though WI will hoping that Nicholas Pooran, Roman Powell and Shimron Hetmyer will regain their form.
The big chink in the Indian batting line-up has been a weakness against left-arm pacers and an off-stump line.
This is something Obed McCoy, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein and Alzarri Joseph will try to exploit.
