    What's the story

    West Indies pulled off a thrilling win in the fourth T20I against England, courtesy brilliant knocks from Evin Lewis (68) and Shai Hope (54).

    The duo's opening stand of 136 runs in just 9.1 overs paved the way for a successful chase of England's daunting target of 219.

    Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford played their part in taking the team over the line with an over to spare.

    Match details

    England's strong start and Bethell's impressive innings

    The match witnessed a return to high scores after a relatively low-scoring third T20I.

    England started their innings with three boundaries in the first over. Philip Salt (55) and Will Jacks (25) quickly brought up a 50-run stand in 26 balls.

    Jacob Bethell stole the show with his blistering 62 off just 32 deliveries.

    Skipper Jos Buttler (38) and Sam Curran (24) also made useful contributions as England finished at 218/5.

    Chase details

    West Indies's chase and Lewis's onslaught

    Unlike England's aggressive start, West Indies's chase started with mere five runs off the first two overs.

    However, the momentum shifted as Lewis and Hope attacked John Turner, scoring 25 runs off his over.

    It included three fours and two sixes.

    The duo continued their carnage, hitting at least one six every over till the eighth, firmly tilting the game in West Indies's favor.

    Match climax

    England's comeback and West Indies's final push

    England made a brief comeback when leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed dismissed Lewis and Hope. He finished with 3/43 across four overs.

    However, Powell (38) and Rutherford (29*) kept their aggressive approach to guide West Indies to victory with five wickets in hand. They eventually prevailed with an over to spare.

    Despite the defeat, England still lead the series 3-1 with one game remaining.

    The final match promises to be an exciting showdown between these two competitive teams.

    Maiden fifty against England for Hope 

    Hope, who made 54 off just 24 balls, smoked seven boundaries and three sixes.
