And with that, we wrap up from Hyderabad! Another high-scoring chase here, headlined by West Indies' tenacity: the Shai Hope century and Keemo Paul five-fors were both too good for India to counter today. For now, it is goodbye from me - Abhijato - as well as Abhimanyu and Vairavan. See you soon for the decider in Bengaluru!
11.20pm Time for the post-match presentation now!
Shreyas Iyer: "We didn't execute our lines and lengths well. Chasing 250, you have to go in a certain power, I liked our approach chasing, unfortunate we didn't execute plans bowling, that's where we fell short... We were still going 12 an over at that point [in the PP], a bit to offer from the wicket, they used the field well, credit where it's due, execution was spot on. Holding more and some bounce as well, their bowlers realised as well, especially in the middle overs... The fifth one will be an interesting one. [On the surface] getting 220 when we were chasing, you could see the approach and attitude of every individual... Going forward we have to have good execution and mindset."
Player of the Match and WI captain, Shai Hope, speaks now: "To be honest, we got luggage weight... Will be going back home with all those Player of the Match awards. Trying to give the team the best chance, 50-plus opening partnership was good. When we've got that good partnership, we can give team best chase possibly. Surface was holding more than we thought. Initially, we thought pitch will come on better. Two-paced to start and spinners and grippers at the back-end, more difficult to hit at the back-end. [On Motie] Tough to give bowlers three in a row, conditions sometimes make it tough, but you have to make a decision... Again, a good cricket game, played good cricket in all phases, good chance to win the series in Bangalore."
Keemo Paul speaks to the broadcasters: "It feels great. We got the win, I'm very, very happy. Obviously we have a simple plan: try and nail the yorkers, and if it doesn't work, go in for the wicket. Slower balls were gripping tonight. Simple plan and it worked. I just want to contribute to the team. We are up for a fight in this T20I [series]... You have to back yourself and see it as a challenge. Motie came in when there were two set bowlers, bowled superbly. Team is a confident bunch, we back our skills, it's just about staying calm..."
11pm Keemo Paul headlines a superb bowling effort from West Indies. Only the second time in this series that a team has defended a total across the three ODIs and these four T20Is. And this also means that 2-2 is the scoreline: West Indies will take world champions India into a deciding contest. But it was really the man of the hour, Shai Hope, who scored his second hundred in just this series, and who pushed the total up to 247 - a bridge too far for India today.
Arshdeep down at the crease once more, clutching his left shoulder. The umpire approaches him, probably telling him he can walk off! No way you can get 25 off 3. Shreyas Iyer raises his hand and maybe is sending the same message as well... And guess what, Arshdeep walks off, retired hurt, which means Mayank has run out of partners. Not that it matters! WI all but sealed this game a couple of overs ago, because of Shamar Springer's efforts, and then Keemo Paul sealed his five-for.

Joseph to Arshdeep Singh, 5 wides, Bowler follows him, feisty bouncer! Arshdeep backs away once more, Joseph does not aim at the stumps but aims at the batter, ball is too short and too wide and flying down to deep fine leg
Arshdeep Singh retired hurt 5 (8m 4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 125
He seems to be in a lot of pain but is staying on, for now... Yeah, okay now.

Joseph to Arshdeep Singh, no run, Now he's hurt his hand here! Backs away once again, the ball thuds into his shoulder it looks like and dribbles out towards point... He is fine-ish but it's obviously hurting, he is down on the crease, then gets back up, as the physio comes out to look at him
Sampath lets us know Keemo Paul is the first West Indies bowler to take multiple five-fors in men's T20Is.

Paul to Yadav, no run, Quick and angling in from outside off, back of a length delivery scoots under the batter looking to drive this

Paul to Patel, OUT, Amazing helicopter shot here... But too subtle, not enough power, on this shot. Was full-ish at Axar's pads, who flicks this towards cow corner, where the fielder barely has to move an inch to gobble this up
AR Patel c Rutherford b Paul 3 (10m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 60
rahul : "now hope and chase both finished for india " - I see what you did there...

Paul to Arshdeep Singh, 1 run, Full-ish outside off, he slogs this across the line down towards midwicket
Manikandan: "Done. " - So it seems...

Paul to Prince Yadav, OUT, West Indies sealing their ascendency here. 98.9 kph, an impeccable slower ball on length and at the stumps. He looks to slog this across the line but the ball rifles right into his stumps, knocks them over... Golden duck for Prince
Prince Yadav b Paul 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
We have The Don in today's MATCHUP. Who can you connect him with?

Paul to Nitish Kumar Reddy, OUT, He's not timed it this time though, and Powell has gobbled this up! Was slot-ish outside off, he bashes this across the line but the ball was angled into his pads, cramping him for room on this pull, he can only send it out to deep midwicket

Paul to Nitish Kumar Reddy, SIX, In the slot and he latches on this time, he's sent it barreling over the ropes! Hard to get under a ball like this but he does it anyway, slogging this over the bowler's head with all muscle and timing

Springer to Nitish Kumar Reddy, 1 run, Excellent yorker to close out the over! Springer sprints to his right to field this delivery, just about squeezed out from under NKR's eyes... Just five runs off the over have virtually sealed this for West Indies here.

Springer to Patel, 1 run, Bunts this back into the pitch, does Axar. Again back of a length angling away from the left-hander, Axar can only bash this to the left of the bowler and take off for the other end
India really need to finish big here...
Ajay Kashyap: "It is the perfect time for Axar Patel to unleash his power, smash four sixes, and prove that he is not just a world-class bowler but a match-winning all-rounder!"

Springer to Patel, 2 runs, Speared in quite full! And he's squeezed a flick late, down towards deep fine leg... Two fielders converge to cut this off near the ropes though

Springer to Patel, no run, Again, great change of pace. Outside off and slowing down on this bouncer-ish delivery, he gets cramped on his ramp-ish shot
Vishnu Prashant: "48 of 18. sounds familiar "
Uk: "48 off 18 Alas no vk out there chasing this "

Springer to Patel, no run, Awesome bowling, a yorker right near the wide marker... Ball goes on the bounce off his thick edge to the keeper
