The West Indies finished their hard tour on a winning note by at ease beating Australia in the Twenty20 match at the Gabba on Wednesday.
Australia, with a lot of first selection players already in India for the Test series, could only manage 8 for 164 in reply to the West Indies' 191 for 6, the Australia went down by 27 runs. The brilliant half century of 57 runs from Johnson Charles and a overflow of late runs for the visitors guide them post a score that was always going away to be not easy to chase.
The in form duo of Shaun Marsh (21) and Adam Voges (51) establish themselves jointly at the crease in the second over when Aaron Finch (4) played on to his stumps from the bowling of Darren Sammy (1 for 30). The partnership of 74 runs was finished when Marsh was run out credit to pointed fielding from Tino Best.
Australia were in struggled at 4 for 96 when Sunil Narine (2 for 19) had George Bailey (15) caught off a top edge attempt a sweep shot. Brad Haddin made 22 . When Haddin was caught by Andre Russell in the deep off the bowling of Kieron Pollard (3 for 30), Australia's probability of reaching the required total looked slender.
Pollard take the wickets of James Faulkner (7) and Ben Rohrer (16) with successive balls to all but ensure his team of victory. Darren Bravo scored 32 runs James Faulkner (3 for 28) snared the precious wickets of Pollard (26). Sammy's innings was small but entertaining one.
The West Indies skipper cracked Faulkner for two huge sixes before holing out to Shaun Marsh for 20 off seven balls. The total received a enormous boost in the last three overs, as 48 runs were added. That was credit in no small part to Russell, who finished unbeaten 23 batting at number six.
