9:40 PM

WI vs IND 4th T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 178/8 after 20 overs

 

Four!! Full and hit down the ground by Akeal Hosein as he fetches a four off the first ball. 

 

With two balls remaining, Windies could very well eye 180 here

 

It is a shear waste of talent from Odean Smith as he is just singing his bat here and not looking where the ball is. 

 

Six!! Finally, a six from Odean Smith as Windies finish off in style. The target for India would be needing 179 to win.

 

9:35 PM

WI vs IND 4th T20 LIVE SCORE: Hetmyer out for 61 off 39, Arshdeep has his third

 

Six!! More than 170 it seems now that a six has been hit off the very first ball by Shimron Hetmyer. 

 

Out!! But then Tilak Varma has caught it brilliantly here to dismiss Hteyre. Though the umpires are checking for a fair catch and Hetmyer in this series has already benefited from a TV review during a catch. Not this time though. 

 

9:33 PM

WI vs IND 4th T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 161/7 after 19 overs

 

And a slower bouncer will end the over for Mukesh Kumar and India although Odean Smith wanted it to be called wide. But unlike IPL, you can’t review the wide call in international matches. Just eight from the over. Mukesh has been good once again.
