India on Saturday took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match T20I series against West Indies, thanks to Rishabh Pant's brisk 44, which was followed by a shared effort from bowlers in the fourth match in Florida on August 6.
West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran had won the toss and decided to bowl first. India posted 191/5 and in response, West Indies folded for just 132 in the chase, with Arshdeep Singh returning 3/12 and Avesh Khan, Akshar Patel, and Ravi Bishnoi snaring two wickets each.
Rishabh Pant top-scored with 44, while Rohit Sharma (33) and Sanju Samson (30*) also contributed as well. In reply, Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell were the joint top scorers for the hosts with 24 runs each.

Pooran came out with dangerous intent as he smashed three sixes in one over from Akshar Patel as his 24 runs came off just 8 balls. On the last ball of the said over from Patel, Pooran nudged the ball towards offside and set off for a quick single.
But non-striker Kyle Mayers didn’t respond in time as Sanju Samson swooped in and made a quick throw to Pant at the batting end with Mayers and Pooran in the middle of the pitch.
Pant took his time to dislodge the bails as he waited and only did it when captain Rohit Sharma angrily asked him to do so. In a video shared by FanCode, Rohit can be seen yelling at Pant to dislodge the bails and get on with the game.
