Cameron Green, Josh Inglis help Australia take 4-0 lead in T20 series against West Indies
Australia chased down West Indies score of 205-9 in the final over without too much trouble with Green top scoring with an unbeaten 55, his third fifty of the series, while Inglis set the tone early with a spritely 51.
It's the seventh time West Indies have failed to defend a score in excess of 200 in Twenty20 internationals, the most of any ICC member nation.
Sherfane Rutherford made 31 off 15 balls to top score for the hosts, who also had handy contributions from the middle order — Rovman Powell (28), Romario Shepherd (28) and Jason Holder (26) after being asked again to bat first at Warner Park.
Shai Hope, who made a brilliant unbeaten 102 on Friday — to become the second male West Indian player after Chris Gayle to score a century in each format — could only manage 10 this game before chipping a catch to a diving Glenn Maxwell off Xavier Bartlett.
Aaron Hardie, playing this game for the rested Tim David was the pick of Australia's bowlers with an economical 2-24 off four overs, including Roston Chase for a first ball duck and later Powell to interrupt the hosts progress.
Adam Zampa (3-54) took three wickets, while Bartlett (2-39) and Sean Abbott (2-61) picked up two wickets each.

Updated WTC Points Table: How the standings look as New Zealand crush Zimbabwe – Where does India stand?
Ben Stokes, Shubman Gill and Mitchell Santner New Zealand's demolition of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo by an innings and 359 runs might have made headlines for its sheer dominance, but it has no bearing on the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 table — and therefore no direct impact on India's current standing. That is because Zimbabwe, despite being a full member nation of the ICC, are not part of the WTC cycle. When the tournament was launched in 2019, only the top nine Test teams as of 31 March 2018 were included. Zimbabwe, along with Ireland and Afghanistan, missed out and have yet to be added to the competition. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The nine competing nations remain Australia, England, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. ICC World Test Championship, 2025/27 World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table for the 2025–27 cycle At the moment, following the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy series, India are placed third on the WTC table with a points percentage of 46.67. England sit just behind in fourth with 43.33. Australia lead the way with a perfect 100 points from their opening matches, while Sri Lanka are second on 66.67. Poll Should Zimbabwe be included in the ICC World Test Championship in the future? Yes No Only if they improve For India, New Zealand's result changes nothing right now. The Kiwis — winners of the inaugural 2019-21 cycle — have yet to start their WTC 2025-27 campaign, which begins in December with a three-Test home series against West Indies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The match in Bulawayo, however, was historic. New Zealand declared at 601 for three before skittling Zimbabwe out twice, Zak Foulkes grabbing five wickets in the second innings to seal the third-biggest innings victory in Test history. While it will not shift the WTC standings today, performances like this are a reminder that when the Kiwis do join the race, they could be one of India's biggest hurdles on the road to the 2027 final.
