Dominant win

with 8 wickets and 22 balls to spare. Another statement of intent from David Warner, who walks out having hit the winning runs to remain unbeaten on 89 off 56. Meanwhile it is officially the end of an era for West Indies!

What does this mean for South Africa, who are playing England in Sharjah? They are batting first there, so they have to win by 57 runs to push their NRR above Australia!

A wicket for Gayle

He's not officially announced a decision to retire yet, but if it is last game in the WI maroon, he signs off with a wicket off his last ball. He runs up to Mitchell Marsh and gives him a hug. The half-centurion hit a full ball straight to mid-off.

Marsh goes one better

If Warner got to his 50 in 29 balls, M. Marsh takes one ball fewer. He was in stunning form in the Caribbean earlier this year and has just continued thereon at No.3. Quite a surprise really that he was dropped midway through this World Cup.

60 to win from 60...

, he’s been dismissed inside the Powerplay in just 36 of those innings, averaging 55 runs per dismissal with a 136 strike rate.

Prelude:

With three wins from four games, Australia are on the cusp of entering the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. However, standing in Aaron Finch side's way is the West Indies. Even though the Windies don't have a chance of progressing to the next stage, they have historically played well against Australia in the T20 format, having won 10 of their 16 matches versus the aforesaid opponent.

Can Adam Zampa and the three-pronged pace attack run through the Windies' batting unit or will the struggling Chris Gayle hog the limelight? We will have all the action in a while...
