West Indies have leveled the five-match T20I series 2-2 after a 24-run victory in the fourth match at Hyderabad on October 14, setting up a decider in Bengaluru on October 17. Shai Hope's unbeaten 102 off 50 balls and Keemo Paul's 5 for 41 anchored a 247 for 3 total that India could not chase, despite Sanju Samson's quick 56. Earlier, India had taken a 2-1 lead with a 14-run defense in Indore, where Abhishek Sharma's 69 and Arshdeep Singh's three wickets proved decisive. The series has featured high totals and strong chases, highlighting West Indies' resilience under Hope alongside India's middle-order vulnerabilities and death-over concerns. The final at Chinnaswamy Stadium, a venue favoring aggressive batting, will test both sides' adjustments in a tightly contested matchup.
