Hello and welcome to the 5th and the final T20I between West Indies and Australia. With the series at 1-3 already in the favour of the hosts, all Australia would target is to get back-to-back wins. On the other hand, West Indies will look to shed the disappointment of the previous defeat and will aim to come back strongly. Will Australia manage to finish on a high? Or will West Indies finish the series with yet another win? Let's find out. Stay tuned for toss and lineups.
Right. The chase is set to begin. West Indies players have walked out in the middle. Followed by Aaron Finch and Josh Philippe. Sheldon Cottrell to start with the ball.
Right then. The Aussies have to get a 200 run chase to get a second win of the series and make it 3-2. Or will the hosts create an upset? Join us for the chase in a while.
Well, haven't the Aussies come back stronger in the series. They have transcended their form from the last game. They had the momentum on their side and they rose up on the occasion. The pacey pair of Hazlewood and Behrendorf were the only bowlers who were not on the wickets column today. It was Zampa who struck early to knock Fletcher. out, he went onto pick up two wickets. Also, Marsh bagged two wickets in his spell but was a miser. Andrew Tye was the pick of the bowler as he bagged three wickets to put the hosts on the backfoot. Mitchell Swepson took a wicket as well of the big man Gayle. The Australian bowlers were in full control of the death overs.
Not upto the mark the West Indies side with their blade. They got off to a solid start but yet again Fletcher gets departed back on a low score. He has not been able to get runs on the board in this series. Lewis was the aggressor today, he played a good knock of 79 runs before making his way out. Also, Gayle was knocked out early after a blistering start of a 7-ball 21 runs. From the 14.4 over to 19.1 overs, West Indies only scored only 23 runs and lost five wickets in a short span. This put the hosts on the backfoot. In the end it was a cameo by Hayden Walsh which boosted the host to 199 runs at the end of 20 overs.

... Time for Presentation..
What can we say about West Indies and their effort in the field. They are just brilliant and top-notch. Be it the keeper, having a shy at the stumps or a spinner taking a one-handed diving catch in the deep, they have it all. It's a full package with talented and athletic individuals. If Russell does not perform with the bat, that's not a problem. He shows up with the ball and does the trick. The pacey pair of Sheldon Cottrell and Andre Russell each picked up three wickets. Hayden Walsh also bagged a wicket. There were two run-outs that took place. Chris Gayle and Fabian Allen probed good lines and lengths but were not able to get onto the wicket column. Oshane Thomas was expensive of the lot. But other than that it was a brilliant outing from the host.
Haven't we already seen this in the series? The Aussies continue to struggle in the middle overs. And yet again they witness a collapse. Josh Philippe was sent back early on a duck. Aaron Finch and Mitchell Marsh were sent back in their 30's. The Aussies failed to maintain a partnership in the middle. Moises Henriques got out to an unnecessary runout. Later, they kept losing wickets in regular intervals. They kept falling like a pack of cards, which was not how they envisioned to end the series with.
The hosts dominated with the ball and in the field. They did not give any breather to the Aussies. They failed to chase down the target of 200 runs. As, West Indies win the series 4 to 1, very convincing and commanding.
