OUT! That's two wickets in as many overs for Akeal Hosein, and this time he gets rid of the other opener Shubman Gill, who ends up getting trapped LBW while attempting a sweep. Gill, who had collected his first boundary just two balls before getting dismissed, decides against going for the review, although replays later show the ball to be missing the leg stump. IND 17/2

Kyle Mayers operates from the other end, and starts off on a tidy note by conceding just four singles in his first over. Vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav is the new man in, and he will hope to produce an encore of his match-winning knock in the third T20I.

Captain speak:

Hardik Pandya: Looks like a good track. We’ve been good with chasing. It would be nice to put up a total. It played much better than how it played last year. Taking wickets was key and that’s exactly what we did. In these wickets you need to be courageous, not afraid to get hit. We’re going to play the same team.

Rovman Powell: Happy to bowl first. Any total India make, we can get it. Getting back-to-back T20 wins against two very good nations would not just put smiles on our faces but smiles on the people of the Caribbean. It’s a pretty good surface to be honest. Bowlers just need to hit their straps. Roston Chase comes in as a spin option for Odean Smith and Alzarri Joseph comes in as the premier pace option in place of Obed McCoy.

Pitch report

“It’s the same wicket that was used and looks like it’s going to remain good. It’s skidded on a bit more than what we expected. It was slightly lower than expected. 200 is par again,” says JioCinema expert Abhinav Manohar taking a look at the Lauderhill pitch.
