Australia beat West Indies by three wickets in fourth T20
Australia claimed a three-wicket victory over the West Indies in the fourth Twenty20 international on Saturday, barely needing to shift into top gear as they heaped more misery on the hosts who have yet to register a win in the five-game series. Chasing 206 in Basseterre, Saint Kitts, Australia lost opener Mitchell Marsh for a duck but Glenn Maxwell (47) and Josh Inglis (51) put together a 66-run partnership to lay the foundation for the chase. The visitors went on to clinch the win with four balls to spare and took a 4-0 lead in the series courtesy of Cameron Green's knock of 55 off 35 balls - his third half-century in the four matches. Jediah Blades was the pick of the West Indies' bowlers with 3-29 from his four overs. Earlier, spinner Adam Zampa took three wickets while fast bowlers Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett and Aaron Hardie took two apiece as the West Indies scored 205/9. Sherfane Rutherford topping the scoring for West Indies with his knock of 31. 'To take a few early wickets, we know teams like the West Indies are going, with how deep they bat, we knew that they're going to come hard the whole innings, which they did,' Australia captain Marsh said. 'But, I thought the way we were able to navigate some tricky overs and keep taking wickets, I sort of feel 230 is probably par on that. I thought it was an outstanding effort with the ball.' The final game of the series takes place at the same venue on Monday, before Australia return home for a limited-overs series against South Africa, while the West Indies host Pakistan for three T20Is and three one-day internationals.

David's century helps Aussies clinch third T20 against WI
Australian Tim David hit a century on just 37 balls to power the Aussies over the West Indies by six wickets in a series-clinching victory. Photo: AFP Tim David bashed a 37-ball century and Australia defeated the West Indies by six wickets on Friday to clinch an overall victory in their Twenty20 international series. David smashed 11 sixes and six fours to finish on 102 runs off 37 deliveries as the Aussies chased down 215 to win with 23 balls to spare. Australia took an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, which continues on Saturday with another night matchup at Warner Park. David struck for 50 off 16 balls, the fastest by an Australian man, and together with Mitchell Owen delivered the highest Aussie T20I fifth-wicket partnership in history. David and Owen, who finished with 36 off 16 balls, combined for 128 to break the old fifth-wicket mark of 105 held by David and Mitch Marsh. On the first ball of the 17th over, and the final delivery of the match, David blasted a four off Romario Shepherd to reach 102 and win the match, the Aussies reaching 215 for four. The 10th over for the Aussies proved pivotal as David smashed a four off the first ball and sixes off each of the last four deliveries by Gudakesh Motie. David's 28-run over lifted the Aussies within 95 runs of the goal with 60 balls remaining. David also hit three sixes and a four off Roston Chase in the 12th over. Shai Hope hit an unbeaten hundred for the West Indies, his first T20I century. Hope struck for 102 runs not out off 57 balls with eight fours and six sixes. He powered the West Indies to 214 for four after being sent in to bat first following Australia winning the toss. Hope and Brandon King opened with a 125 partnership for the hosts before King exited on the fourth ball of the 12th over. An offering from Mitch Owen was smacked high by King and landed in the hands of Sean Abbott for the first out. King managed his 13th T20I half century with 62 runs off 36 balls with six sixes and three fours. On the first ball of the penultimate over, Hope went to deep point for one to reach his first T20I century, making 100 runs off 55 balls to join Chris Gayle as the only West Indies men with centuries in all formats.

Mirza, Farhan star as Pak beat BD
Pakistan's Salman Mirza (R) celebrates after taking the wicket of Bangladesh's Jaker Ali (L) during the third and final Twenty20 international at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Photo: AFP Paceman Salman Mirza grabbed three wickets and opener Sahibzada Farhan struck an aggressive fifty in Pakistan's consolation 74-run win in the third T20 on Thursday as Bangladesh took the series 2-1. Mirza, playing only his third international, demolished Bangladesh's top order with figures of 3-19 as the home team was bowled out for 104 in 16.4 overs in Dhaka. Farhan's 41-ball 63 studded with five sixes and six fours got Pakistan off to a strong start and Hasan Nawaz clubbed 33 off 17 balls to help them to 178-7 after they were sent in to bat. Mirza struck with the second ball of the innings, dismissing Tanzid Hassan caught behind for nought which triggered a batting collapse. Only Mohammad Saifuddin contributed a score of note as he made an unbeaten 35. Mohammad Naim (10) was the only other Bangladesh batsman to reach double figures. Seamer Faheem Ashraf took 2-13 and Mohammad Nawaz wrapped up the win with the final two wickets. Having already won their first-ever T20 series against Pakistan with victories in the first two matches, Bangladesh rested five of their main players including spearhead Mustafizur Rahman. Pakistan had scored 110 and 125 in the first two matches — also in Dhaka — losing by seven wickets and eight runs respectively. Farhan, who replaced Fakhar Zaman as one of two changes for Pakistan, put on 82 for the opening stand with Saim Ayub (21). Farhan fell in the 12th over to spinner Nasum Ahmed who finished with 2-22 in his four overs. Pace bowler Taskin Ahmed took 3-38. Mohammad Nawaz chipped in with 27 off 16 balls down the order to help Pakistan add 46 runs in the last five overs. Pak, Afghanistan, UAE in 'final talks' over tri-nation series The arrangements for a tri-nation series involving Pakistan, Afghanistan and the UAE have entered their final stages, with an official announcement expected after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting, sources said on Thursday. According to insiders, discussions regarding the series will be finalised on the sidelines of the ACC sessions. The complete schedule and venues are likely to be revealed once the meeting concludes. Sources further indicated that the tri-series will be held in the UAE ahead of the Asia Cup 2025. Initially, Pakistan was scheduled to host Afghanistan in a bilateral series this August. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) proposed converting the series into a tri-nation event and moving it to the UAE. The objective of hosting the series in the UAE is to help players adapt to the conditions ahead of the Asia Cup. It is to be noted that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the ACC is set to take place in Bangladesh today, with an overwhelming majority of member nations confirming participation. Out of the 25 ACC members, 24 have confirmed their attendance, far exceeding the required quorum of 13 in what is being hailed as a major diplomatic success for ACC President Mohsin Naqvi. Despite initial resistance from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), and Oman Cricket over the venue, Naqvi's persistent efforts ensured that the AGM would proceed as scheduled in the Bangladeshi capital. Significantly, India is also participating in the meeting virtually, with BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla expected to attend online a marked shift from the board's earlier stance.
