Easy win for West Indies




Wade falls after quick start

Backs away, exposes all three stumps to make room but Mcoy has hit timber. Still it's a good start from Australia (41/1 after 5 overs), all thanks to Wade who falls for 16-ball 23. Finch is going at run-a-ball at the other end.

Australia opt to bat

After winning tosses and opting to bowl twice, Aaron Finch has changed things around and opted to bat first in the third T20I. Nicholas Pooran was very happy to bowl first; he was "not sure" how the new track would play. Samuel Badree and Sir Curtly Ambrose said in their pitch report that the pitch would offer some bounce.

Australia (Playing XI): Aaron Finch(c), Matthew Wade(w), Mitchell Marsh, Moises Henriques, Alex Carey, Ashton Turner, Daniel Christian, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Riley Meredith, Josh Hazlewood

West Indies (Playing XI): Lendl Simmons, Andre Fletcher, Chris Gayle, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran(w/c), Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Fabian Allen, Hayden Walsh, Sheldon Cottrell, Obed McCoy

Australia made three changes: Alex Carey, Ashton Turner and Riley Meredith come in for Josh Philippe, Ben McDermott and Ashton Agar. West Indies opted to bring in Obed Mcoy for an injured Fidel Edwards.
