Australia beats West Indies in final T20I to complete dominant series victory in Carribean
Mitchell Owen top-scored for Australia with 37 off 17 balls, while Cameron Green (32), Tim David (30) and Aaron Hardie (28 not out) all made valuable contributions as the visitors reached their target of 171 with 18 balls to spare.
The win sealed the first T20 series sweep by an Australian men's team in the West Indies.
"I didn't expect 5-0 at the start of the series," Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said.
"But we played some great cricket. It was something we spoke about after the fourth game.
"We knew no Australian team had completed a clean sweep. We've had guys come in and played different roles for us.
"We spoke pre-tour about having flexibility and fluidity as a group. The way T20 is going, teams just keep going now, and it's exciting and hopefully we can continue our power-hitting."
West Indies fans must have feared the worst when Australia won a fifth straight toss and bowled the hosts out for 170, a total they reached thanks in large part to Shimron Hetmyer's knock of 52 off 31 balls.
Dwarshuis picked up Hetmyer's wicket as well as those of openers Brandon King (11) and Shai Hope (9).
"It was a little bit of a slower wicket so we tried to hit the wicket hard and use the slower balls as well," said Dwarshuis, who was named player of the match.
"It was definitely a challenge here with two batting line-ups that were ultra-aggressive and some high scores.
"It was amazing to be part of this squad and this series victory."
Australia return home for a limited-overs series against South Africa, while the West Indies play Pakistan in three T20Is and three one-day internationals.

Sharks searching for deep waters and their best selves at first ever NRLW Magic Round
As the NRLW heads to Newcastle for the competition's first-ever Magic Round, the battle for the premiership increasingly seems like a race between two teams. Through the first month of the premiership, the Roosters and Broncos have been the class of the league, and even though it is early days, a meeting between the two on grand final day is beginning to feel inevitable. But a longer season means there are more times for teams to rise and fall, and more time to prove themselves against the two giants. This week, it will be Cronulla's turn to ride the lightning as it faces Brisbane on Saturday afternoon in what shapes as the marquee fixture of the round. Along with Newcastle and North Queensland, which are yet to play either of the top two, Cronulla is one of the teams more likely to break up the duopoly at the top of the ladder. Tony Herman's side has been a little shaky through four games, alternating wins and losses, and is yet to play to its full talents, but as last year's runners-up, has as good a pedigree as any to trouble the free-wheeling Queenslanders. In their last meeting in the 2024 finals series, the Broncos entered as heavy favourites only to lose 14-0 to the physical Sharks, and it's a performance the NSW team are chasing again as they look to solidify their season. "We're excited for the challenge — they're second on the ladder, flying high and playing some incredible footy," said Sharks captain Tiana Penitani Gray. "We know who the key playmakers and key threats are, and we want to play the long game, and drag them into some deep water. "When you look at our competition, the most exciting thing about it is anyone can win on a good day. "Last year, we were able to execute our game plan nearly perfectly, we have to do it again, but we know we can win, we can beat any team in this competition on our day, but we're still finding that at the moment. "We're nowhere near as good as we can be, we haven't hit our best, or got anywhere near our best this season — we're still building, but we have the blueprint." The Broncos are a different beast from last year, due mainly to the return of fullback Tamika Upton. They've scored the most points in the league and conceded the fewest, and while the Knights and Cowboys boast similar 3-1 records, Brisbane's only loss came in the blockbuster clash with the Roosters two weeks ago. It will take a vast improvement from Cronulla if it is to trouble Brisbane, let alone win. The Sharks' two wins in 2025 have come against the Raiders and Tigers, which are currently anchored at the bottom of the ladder. But the extended length of the season gives teams like the Sharks a chance to evolve through the campaign. With three players departing from last year's grand final side, including halfback Tayla Preston, cohesion has been an issue for Cronulla, but it is a problem time can solve. "We like the long game, we like the grinding footy, we have to earn the right to play, but we can't do that if we give away yardage penalties and cheap errors," Penitani Gray said. "It's simple, it's not some complex secret, but some of the girls come from systems where it's a bit different. "With the longer season, you have more time to find your feet, but in saying that, we don't want any more early losses. "It'll put us under too much pressure late in the season when we've got some really tough matches, we have to get runs on the board." The Broncos-Sharks match will be the final game of Saturday's triple-header at Hunter Stadium, with another to follow on Sunday. With Magic Round growing each year in the men's competition since it was introduced in 2019, the NRLW equivalent gives the women's game the kind of standalone, marquee event that can boost both its profile and prestige. "The last two men's Magic Rounds have opened with the women's State of Origin, but having our own is really exciting," Penitani Gray said. "The NRLW didn't exist that long ago, and being where we are now in the game and having our own Magic Round on the calendar is a reflection of how much the game is growing. "With 12 teams now, we're in a position where we can stand on our own — we have our own genuine fanbase that's not just the diehard men's fans who follow their club teams in the women's game. "It's why we're in a position to do this."

Only Melbourne Vixens' best will challenge West Coast Fever in Super Netball grand final, says Simone McKinnis
Retiring coach Simone McKinnis says nothing short of the Melbourne Vixens' best will be enough to stop the West Coast Fever juggernaut in Saturday's Super Netball grand final. The Vixens are determined to send McKinnis, stepping down after 13 years at the helm, out as a winner but face a mighty task in toppling the Fever, who are on a 13-game winning streak. In the two clashes during the season, Melbourne haven't come close, but after fighting their way from fourth to a spot in the decider at a sold-out Rod Laver Arena, believe they can cause a boilover against the runaway minor premiers. The Vixens fortuitously have a home grand final thanks to Netball Australia selling off the match to the highest bidder, which the Victorian government won last September. The Vixens suffered a two-goal loss in last year's grand final in Adelaide against the Thunderbirds, with their last title coming with a victory against the Fever in 2020, when the title showdown was played in a Queensland hub due to COVID-19. McKinnis acknowledged it would be tough but not impossible to stop the Fever, who won their last grand final meeting in 2022, and in particular Jamaican sharp-shooter Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard. They have been boosted by the return of star wing attack Hannah Mundy, who has been sidelined for more than a month with a foot injury but got the green light this week. "We have to be at our absolute best, individually and collectively as a team, and I think that anything bar that is not going to cut it," said McKinnis, a former Diamonds wing defence. "We have to have real clarity and intention about what we're doing out there, we have to put them under as much pressure as we can and we have to go for it back ourselves in attack. "Tough ask, but I believe we can do it." Fever coach Dan Ryan said his team's preparation had been seamless as they sat back and watched the Vixens claw their way from a 10-goal three-quarter time deficit to oust the NSW Swifts in the preliminary final. The Perth outfit beat the Vixens in the final round of the season by 11 goals with Fowler-Nembhard slotting a stunning 60 goals with her only blemish missing two long-range super shots. But Ryan said they were far from a one-player team. "To win this competition every single player needs to pull their weight and do their role and every role is slightly different and we've got a team of 10 that we have great confidence to turn to at any point in time," he said. "Jhaniele is obviously a focal point for us, and she's always a focal point in opposition game plans as well, but we really back in every position on the court to bring out the best in each other and support each other on that court. "It's been a really good two-week build to the game … there's a great energy amongst the group and confidence and excitement to get out there and hopefully play some great netball." AAP

Wallabies intent on avoiding being whitewashed by the British and Irish Lions
The time for feeling sorry for themselves about their series-defining loss to the British and Irish Lions is over for the Wallabies, who are desperate to produce a performance that Australia can be 'proud' of in Sydney on Saturday night. Wallabies captain Harry Wilson said it had been tough for his team to overcome last weekend's 29-26 MCG loss to the Lions, who clinched the game, and the series, with a controversial try in the final minute to fullback Hugo Keenan. The Australians felt the try should have been disallowed following an incident in the build-up in which Wallabies replacement Carlo Tizzano seemed to be struck in the back of the neck by the Lions' Jac Morgan. However, the try was allowed to stand, condemning Australia to a heartbreaking loss. 'It probably has been one of the tougher weeks,' Wallabies captain Harry Wilson said on Friday. 'Everyone … on Monday had a bit of a quiet day because it does take a little bit to get over a tough loss like that. 'For us it was just about going back to our preparation. On Tuesday, I was really proud of the group about what sort of session we had. 'We went there, everyone was a bit quiet, but once we went across that white line, the energy was back. 'The boys quickly put (the loss) on the backburner and just wanted to focus on getting their preparation right. 'As the weeks goes on, we've really tried to build it internally because this is still such a massive match (on Saturday night).' Wilson felt the Wallabies deserved more than to be trailing the three-Test series 2-0. 'It's not the best situation,' he said. 'I do feel like it has been a tight series and we want to go out there … we want to get the win. 'The support we've been given this week has been pretty unbelievable, and we really feel like we need to go out there and put a performance in for Australia to be proud.' The Wallabies have the added incentive of ensuring retiring halfback Nic White finishes his Test career on the high of victory. White, 35, didn't feature in the first two Tests of the series but will start in the No.9 jersey at Accor Stadium. 'He's the ultimate competitor, the ultimate team man,' Wilson said of the Western Force half. 'He does whatever it takes for the team in every session and every match. 'Once he goes across that white line, he's a different man. He's a competitor and the group loves him. 'He will be missed in this gold jersey because he really does represent what it is to be a Wallaby.'
