In the latest clash of the West Indies vs Australia T20I series, the Aussies proved once again that chasing 200+ is their new comfort zone. Powered by fifties from Josh Inglis and Cameron Green, and a Maxwell cameo that looked like a trailer for an action movie, Australia sealed a 3-wicket win with four balls to spare.
As the Windies posted 205/9 on a batter-friendly pitch, the visitors didn’t blink. Glenn Maxwell blazed through a chaotic middle order, Inglis gave the chase a solid foundation, and Green finished it off like a seasoned closer in a Hollywood heist.
First Innings: Windies Swing Hard, Fall Short
🔥 Rutherford Fires, But Wickets Tumble
The Windies got off to a lively start, reaching 58/3 in the Powerplay. Brandon King, Shai Hope, and Roston Chase all fell while attacking, thanks to sharp fielding and smarter Aussie bowling.
Sherfane Rutherford played a brief but explosive 31 (15), while Hetmyer and Powell added flair. Unfortunately, consistent wickets and a tight finish limited West Indies to a 15–20 runs below-par total.
Zampa’s 3/54 may look expensive, but his wickets were key—especially Rutherford and Hetmyer, who looked dangerous.
Second Innings: Maxwell’s Mayhem, Green’s Grace
🎯 Inglis and Maxwell Turn Up the Heat
After losing Mitchell Marsh for a duck (thanks, DRS-less decision), Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell flipped the script. Maxwell’s 47 off 18 included a 101m six that might still be orbiting St. Kitts.
Once both fell—Inglis to Shepherd and Maxwell to Akeal Hosein—Australia suddenly slipped from 129/2 to 134/5, giving the Windies a real sniff.
🧊 Green Holds His Nerve
Just as nerves set in, Cameron Green walked in like a yoga instructor at a nightclub—calm, focused, and not at all fazed.
He stitched a crucial 51-run stand with Aaron Hardie, bringing up his third fifty of the series (55* off 35). Green’s sense of timing, strike rotation, and shot selection was elite.
Even a late run-out scare involving Bartlett didn’t shake him. One quiet nudge to backward square leg sealed the win.
