The Rohit Sharma-led Team India will look to gain an unassailable lead in the ongoing five-match series when they take the field against West Indies in the fourth T20I in Florida. Team India have been in fine form in this series, and this is the main reason they have gained a 2-1 lead in the series so far. It was Suryakumar Yadav who stole the show in the third T20I as he played a knock of 76 runs and he would hope to showcase good performances in the remaining two matches.
In the ongoing Commonwealth Games, the Indian contingent has displayed strong performances and this is the main reason they are at the fifth spot in the medals tally. So far, India have bagged a total of 26 medals with three gold medals coming on Friday. Weightlifter Sanket Mahadev Sargar opened India's medals tally on July 29 as he clinched the silver medal after lifting a total of 248kg (113 snatch, 135 clean & jerk). The first gold for India was won by weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, which was followed by Jeremy Lalrinnunga and Achinta Sheuli in the same sport of weightlifting.
Team India led by Rohit Sharma will look to gain an unassailable lead in the five-match series when they take on West Indies in the fourth T20I on Saturday in Florida. The visitors currently have a 2-1 lead after having won the third match by seven wickets. Suryakumar Yadav was the star of the show as he played a knock of 76. Rohit Sharma retired hurt midway due to back spasms while Shreyas Iyer's form is a huge concern in the shortest format. So it would be interesting to see whether the visitors make any changes to their playing XI for the fourth T20I.

Commonwealth Games 2022, Indian wrestler Deepak Punia said that he was focused on his game and added that he was nervous because on August 5, 2021, he lost the bronze-medal match at the Olympics and today (on Friday) was the same date. Deepak topped the podium in men's freestyle 86kg category by defeating the 2010 and 2018 CWG gold medallist from Pakistan, Muhammad Inam Butt, in the final at the Coventry Arena. "I want to thank PM Narendra Modi for encouraging the players. He motivated me when I didn't get a medal in Olympics. So it was my responsibility to win a medal for our country," Deepak told ANI.
India were hoping not to run into Aran Zalewski and his men before the title round and they did well to avoid them by topping Pool 'B'. But the semifinals on Saturday will be a tricky contest against a plucky South Africa who battled past New Zealand in their last league outing to end a 20-year-old semifinal drought. In terms of history and current ranking, India will start favourites on paper. But on the pitch, the South Africans, ranked 13 in the world, can pose a stiff challenge.
