West Indies skipper Shai Hope scored an unbeaten 102 to lead his side to a 24-run victory over India in the fourth T20, levelling the series at 2-2.

West Indies skipper Shai Hope scored an unbeaten 102 off 50 balls, hitting four fours and nine sixes, to guide his side to a 24-run victory over India in the fourth T20 in Hyderabad. The West Indies finished on 247 for three, with Hope reaching his century with a six off the final delivery of their innings. It was the second-highest first innings total in T20s against India, trailing only England's 257 in Southampton this year.

Chasing 248, India made a brisk start with Sanju Samson hitting a half-century off 20 deliveries before falling to Keemo Paul for 56. Shreyas Iyer contributed 16 off 11 balls and Abhishek Sharma made 29, but India struggled to maintain their momentum. The lower order fought back when Nitish Kumar Reddy and Tilak Varma added 70 from 32 balls, but Varma fell for 43 and Reddy was dismissed by Paul, who claimed three wickets in the 19th over to trigger a collapse. India were bowled out for 223.

Hope's unbeaten century was his third in T20 internationals, the most for any West Indian batter, and his fourth century of the tour. It was also the third unbeaten century he had scored against India in 11 days, with the West Indies winning all three occasions. The series is now level at 2-2, with a fifth and deciding match to come in Bengaluru.
