## Keemo Paul's Five-Wicket Haul
West Indies pacer Keemo Paul took five wickets in the fourth T20I match against India in Hyderabad.

> West Indies bowled out India for 223 after posting 247 for three and Paul marshalled the tourists’ defence with a five-wicket haul on Wednesday.
## No Dew Advantage
Paul noted the absence of dew allowed bowlers to grip the ball better under lights during the match.

> Some pretty big scores have been chased in this series, but I think a key factor is that there was no dew (in Hyderabad).
## Tactical Bowling Plan
Paul described using slow balls to maximize effect on a slightly gripping pitch during the match.

> As bowlers, the slower balls helped us here. On other wickets and at other grounds, we haven’t been getting much grip, but it worked here.
## Key Partnerships
Captain Shai Hope scored 102 off 50 balls, providing crucial runs for the West Indies to defend.

> But I think Captain Hope has been fantastic for us. The key partnerships he built gave us the runs we needed.
## Execution Under Pressure
Paul emphasized the importance of sticking to team plans and not being too hard on oneself as a bowler.

> You can’t be too hard on yourself as a bowler on these tracks. The margin for error is very, very thin.
## Key takeaway

Keemo Paul secured five wickets in West Indies' 247-run victory over India in Hyderabad T20I, crediting the absence of dew and tactical execution.
