'We are going to dominate': Radha predicts India to prosper
New England coach Charlotte Edwards wasn't too disappointed with the result and believes her team remains on target to perform well at the ICC women's Cricket World Cup in India and Sri Lanka later this year.
"As long as we are looking to get better, I am not going to panic," Edwards told Sky Sports after the match.
"We are going to be calm. We are a team on a journey. We are a team in transition. It's not going to happen overnight.
"We are not going to suddenly get this team performing how we want them to. But hopefully we have got a bit of time, certainly in T20 cricket.
"Hopefully you will see an improved team in ODI cricket, that's our immediate goal (at the 50-over World Cup) come October."
The fifth and final T20I match of the series between the two sides will be held in Birmingham on Saturday.

Ponting tips Root to overtake his Test tally in Manchester ICC World Test Championship
ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting believes Joe Root is en route to overtaking his run tally in Test cricket on Day 3 of the Manchester Test. Root, who finished unbeaten at the score of 11 on Day 2 against India, is 108 runs behind Ponting in the all-time Men's Test cricket run charts. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the third day's play at Old Trafford, Ponting said, 'If he keeps going on like this, that could very well happen today. 'It's a great day for batting and what a remarkable career it's been for Joe. How he's transformed from someone that couldn't go on past fifty to hundreds. Now it seems like every time he gets to fifty, you just mark him down for a hundred, or a big hundred. 'Just looking at some of the numbers, 37 Test match hundreds, 13000 runs, what an amazing career to-date.' Root is currently the fifth-highest run-getter in the longest format – 18 runs behind Rahul Dravid and 19 runs behind Jacques Kallis, who are fourth and third, respectively. Ponting also added that there is more to come from Root, and that the England talisman can also overtake Sachin Tendulkar as the all-time run scorer in the format. 'There's still a fair bit to go. What is he, 35? Doesn't look like his passion for the game is going anywhere. 'His run-scoring passion has probably gone up over the years. Can he chase down Sachin? Let's see. He might as well do that.' England are currently leading 2-1 in the five-match ICC World Test Championship series. ICC World Test ChampionshipICC World Test Championship, 2025/27NewsJoe Root

Raducanu beats Osaka in straight sets to reach Washington quarters
Emma Raducanu beat four-times Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka 6-4 6-2 in their first career meeting to reach the quarter-finals of the Washington Open. Raducanu, US Open champion in 2021, next faces former world number three Maria Sakkari after the Greek stunned American second seed Emma Navarro in straight sets. "I thought it was going to be a really difficult match. Naomi's won four slams, she's been world number one, won Masters," Raducanu told Sky Sports. "She's so dangerous and on the hard courts, I think she's particularly comfortable. "I knew I was going to have to play well and manage my own service games, which I'm really proud of how I did. I was making some inroads in her service game after I got used to it a little bit. "I'm really pleased with how I handled the ball speed and conditions here in DC." Raducanu, who will reclaim the British number one ranking from Katie Boulter when the WTA rankings are released on Monday, is also into the women's doubles semi-finals alongside Wimbledon 2022 champion Elena Rybakina. Venus Williams' comeback tournament after 16 months away from the game ended with a 6-2 6-2 loss to Polish fifth seed Magdalena Frech. The 45-year-old seven-times singles Grand Slam champion became the oldest player to win a WTA singles match since 2004 when she beat Peyton Stearns in her Washington opener on Tuesday.
