It seems like Indian batters are in a haste to finish the game as both Gill and Jaiswal have been showing their power-hitting skills. They are taking on the bowlers of West Indies, smashing them all around the park.
Jaiswal and Shubman Gill have started the proceedings for India. Obed McCoy bowled the first over.

The Indian bowlers have wreaked havoc at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill as the West Indies' batters are clueless in front of them.
It was a tossed-up delivery from Kuldeep and Pooran wanted to hit it over the long-on but ended up getting caught at the end by Suryakumar Yadav.
Brandon King took on Arshdeep Singh as he smashed a huge six since it was a back-of-a-length ball. But yet again Singh had a last laugh as he scalped King's wicket.
Arshdeep Singh took the wicket of Mayers and an easy catch by Samson did the rest. That's a huge breakthrough for India. It was a short pitch delivery by Arshdeep and Mayers wanted to play it above the keeper but got caught at the end.
Mayers and Brandon King have started batting and Axar bowled the first over and conceded a six and a boundary.

Hello and welcome to ABP's live coverage of the fourth T20I between India vs West Indies at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill.
Background
The Indian team will be locking horns with the West Indies in the 4th T20I of the 5-match series at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill on Saturday. The Indian team under the leadership of Hardik Pandya won the previous game by seven wickets and will look to continue the same performance in this game also. West Indies on the other hand are just a win away from clinching the series as they currently lead the series 2-1.
In the third T20I between both teams, Windies ended up posting a fighting total of 159/5 in their allotted 20 overs. Rovman Powell and Brandon King starred with the bat, scoring 40 and 42 runs respectively. Nicholas Pooran also played a useful hand of 20 runs off 12 deliveries.
In reply, India achieved the target with seven wickets and 13 balls to spare with Suryakumar Yadav hammering a brilliant 83 runs off 44 balls, laced by four sixes and ten fours. Talking about this encounter, team India would want to win the game in order to level the series. They are likely to make a few changes in their playing XI as their opening combination is still is cause of concern.
Lauderhill always offers a batting-friendly surface as the average first-innings total is 165. However, spinners are likely to exploit the slow nature of the surface in the later half of the game.
