In a stellar exhibition of cricketing prowess, the West Indies registered a resounding 37-run win over Australia in the third and final T20I at Perth. The Men in Maroon showcased exceptional performance, dominating the Aussies in every facet of the game. With an unparalleled display of skill and determination, the visitors out powered? their opponent, sec??uring a consolation victory to conclude the series.

Andre Russell and Sherfane Rutherford lead the charge with willow

Opting to bat first, West Indies faced an early setback, losing three crucial wickets within the first three overs. Despite the shaky start, Roston Chase and Rovman Powell displayed resilience and maintained an aggressive scoring rate. The partnership flourished until one of Adam Zampa‘s delivery dismantled Chase for 37 runs, disrupting the budding alliance. Powell’s dismissal, courtesy of Aaron Hardie after contributing 21 runs, added to the team’s predicament.

The rescue mission then commenced with Sherfane Rutherford and Andre Russell at the helm. The dynamic duo relentlessly attacked the Australian bowlers, achieving individual half-centuries in the process. Russell’s blistering knock of 71 runs off 29 balls and Rutherford’s unbeaten 67 off 40 balls propelled the West Indies to a formidable total of 220/6 in 20 overs.

Australia fell well-short of the target

Chasing a formidable target of 221, Australia launched their innings with an impressive start, as Mitchell Marsh and David Warner swiftly accumulated runs, f??orming a solid opening partnership that reached 68 runs before Marsh departed for 17. Hardie entered the fray at number three but struggled to maintain a brisk scoring pace, contributing a run-a-ball ??16 before succumbing.

Meanwhile, Warner continued his aggressive onslaught, reaching a half-century before being dismissed by Roston Chase for 81 runs. Warner’s departure marked a turning point, with the West Indies seizing the opportunity to mount a comeback. The Australian batting lineup faced difficulties as Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell ??departed early, putting the hosts in a precarious position.

Despite a valiant effort from Tim David, who scored a rapid and unbeaten 41 off just? 19 balls, the late surge proved insufficient as Australia ultimately fell short of the target by 37 runs.
