Russell bows out of T20I cricket with loss against Australia in 2nd T20
West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell bowed out of international cricket on a losing note during the second T20I against Australia at Jamaica on Wednesday, but not without serving his fans one last bit of entertainment with a quickfire knock. During the second T20I, Russell turned back the clock, smashing a blistering 36 in just 15 balls, with two fours and four sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 240.00. It was his knock, along with opener Brandon King (51 in 36 balls, with three fours and four sixes), that powered WI to 172/8 in 20 overs. Adam Zampa (3/29), Glenn Maxwell (2/15) and Nathan Ellis (2/34) were the top bowlers for Australia. Knocks from Josh Inglis (78* in 33 balls, with seven fours and five sixes) and Cameron Green (56* in 32 balls, with three fours and four sixes) took Australia to a thumping eight-wicket win with 28 balls left. 'Dre Russ' finishes his career with 1,122 runs in 86 T20Is and 75 innings at an average of 22.00 and a strike rate of over 163. He scored three half-centuries, with a best score of 71. He is the 11th-highest run-getter in T20Is for the Windies. He is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in T20Is for Windies, with 61 scalps at an average of 31.45, best bowling figures of 3/19. He ends his international career with 2,158 runs at an average of 23.97 in 143 matches and 123 innings, with seven fifties and a best score of 92*. He took a total of 132 international wickets at an average of 32.21, with best bowling figures of 4/35. Scoring just two runs and taking a wicket in single Test he played, Russell was a solid performer in ODIs, with 1,034 runs at an average of 27.21 in 56 matches and 47 innings, at a strike rate of 130.22. He scored four half-centuries in the 50-over format, with the best score of 92*. In ODIs, he also took 70 wickets at an average of 31.84, with best figures of 4/35. Speaking after the win, Russell said thanks to fans for all the support and for turning up to his home ground of Sabina Park to watch him play. He also thanked West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for giving him an opportunity to play during the series in front of his home crowd. "I just want to say thanks, thanks to the people in the Sabina Park and to the WICB for the opportunity. Just happy to play in front of the home crowd, the result did not go our way, but I am just happy to have played so many matches and wish the team the best going forward. The result did not go our way (today), thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it the most," he said. Russell also expressed how the two T20 World Cups he won back in 2012 and 2016 remain the crowning jewels of his career. "But at the end of the day - I think it was time to move ahead. We have a good bunch of guys (in the team), Shephard is throwing some punches, and there are the likes of (Sherfane) Rutherford, Alzarri (Joseph) and (Jason) Holder as well. Amazing to finish my career at Sabina Park, the result did not go our way, but that is the game of cricket. You have supported us a lot and do keep supporting us going ahead," he concluded.

Australia thump West Indies after Inglis and Green masterclass
Key posts 3.08pm Green, Inglis brutalise Windies attack to double series lead 11.54am Maxwell opening for Australia 11.38am Australia need 173 to go 2-0 up 11.23am Connolly drops a catch, Ellis gets Russell 11.03am Zampa strikes twice in three balls 10.32am King passes 50 then is out to Zampa 9.37am Australia win the toss and bowl first again 9.37am India and England getting spicier by the minute Hide key posts Latest posts Latest posts 3.08pm Green, Inglis brutalise Windies attack to double series lead By Daniel Brettig Cameron Green brutalised the West Indies bowlers for the second time in as many matches, this time aided by the impish Josh Inglis, to give Australia a 2-0 lead after Andre Russell's final two Twenty20 internationals. A partisan crowd at Sabina Park was briefly thrilled by Russell's parting 36 from 15 balls, but were later having to duck for cover as Inglis (78 from 33) and Green (56 from 32) made remarkably short work of a chase for 173 to win, rushing to the target with 28 balls to spare. Glenn Maxwell had been promoted to open and made a momentary dent in the left-arm spin of Akeal Hosein, before his exit to Jason Holder was soon followed by that of captain Mitchell Marsh. At 2-42 in the sixth over this game was in dispute, but Inglis and Green had other ideas as they added 131 in a mere 59 balls. Both sides struck 12 sixes apiece, but Inglis, Green and the rest of the Australian top four totalled 24 boundaries in all, well clear of the West Indies' tally of 19. Russell, for what it's worth, reckoned that the West Indies total was at least 20 runs short of being competitive. The combatants were somewhat sloppy in the field, shelling seven catches between them. However, Australia's target was kept manageable by the diligence of a bowling attack that has succeeded in corralling the Caribbean side's big hitters for successive games on a ground of small dimensions. Adam Zampa (3-29) did not take a wicket in game one, but he made up for it this time around, while Nathan Ellis (2-34), Maxwell (2-15) and the Twenty20 debutant Matt Kuhnemann all played their roles soundly. 'We dropped four catches along with them [West Indies], so we need to sharpen up there, but I think just all around, the West Indies can put you under a lot of pressure,' Marsh said. 'I thought our spinners were fantastic. Our fifth bowling option as a collective was really good. 'They made use of the conditions and then, Josh Inglis is playing like that, there aren't many bowlers in the world that can bowl to him, so that was outstanding.' Inglis has long been capable of inflicting rare damage on white-ball bowling attacks, and already has two T20 international centuries under his belt. But with each such destructive innings, Inglis will add to the temptation for Australia's selectors to toss him back into Test cricket during the home Ashes summer, perhaps in place of Beau Webster at No.6. That kind of scenario will only be possible if Green is back bowling well, to ease pressure on Australia's ageing frontliners, but the growing authority he has shown at the batting crease on this tour can only help. 1.39pm Captain Mitch Marsh on a memorable win 'We dropped four catches along with them (the West Indies), so we need to sharpen up there, but I think just all around, the West Indies can put you under a lot of pressure. 'I thought our spinners were fantastic. Our fifth bowling option as a collective was really good. 'They made use of the conditions and then, Josh Inglis is playing like that, there aren't many bowlers in the world that can bowl to him, so that was outstanding.' 1.19pm Australia thump West Indies after Inglis and Green masterclass By Tom Decent What a dominant display in Kingston. Josh Inglis (78 off 33 balls) and Cameron Green (56 off 32) have put on a magnificent 131-run stand to get Australia home by eight wickets with 28 deliveries remaining. Despite the early loss of Glenn Maxwell (12 off 10) and Mitch Marsh (21 off 17), Inglis and Green were completely dominant against a West Indies attack bereft of answers. There were a number of dropped catches and Australia made the hosts pay in a big way after initially being 2-42 after 5.3 overs. Great batting as Australia finish on 2-173 and take a 2-0 lead with three matches to play. The next game is on Saturday at 10am AEST. Inglis and Green hit nine sixes between them. Dangerous scenes being in the stands at Sabina Park when those two are on song. 1.15pm Green brings up half century from 28 balls Australia are putting on a clinic at the moment. With a cover drive to the boundary, Cam Green brings up a half century from 28 balls. Hasn't taken any crazy risks and has made full use of the short boundaries straight. All but over now as Inglis smashes a six over mid-wicket. Run chases don't come much better. 1.08pm Holder drops Inglis as 100-run partnership comes up Not ideal. Josh Inglis skies a ball and Jason Holder runs back to take the catch but make a meal of it. Didn't look like grabbing it. Needed that to stay in the game did the Windies. Salt in the wound as Cam Green carts Holder for six over mid-wicket next ball. Happens so often. Inglis is taking the mickey now. Clubs one over fine leg to go to 67 off 30 balls. Heck of an innings. The 100-run partnership comes off 52 balls. Things really falling apart for the Windies here. Australia 2-147 after 14 overs, require 26 from 36 balls 1.04pm Australia need 45 off 42 balls Cam Green whacks Motie for a six down the ground and a four to ensure his side remains in an auspicious position to get the job done. Eight wickets in the sheds is a great spot to be in. Australia 2-128, require 45 runs from 42 balls. 12.59pm Inglis brings up half century with monster six Andre Russell bangs one into the deck but Inglis follows through and creams it onto the roof of Sabina Park straight down the ground. So much for Russell's farewell match… It's been an impressive half century from Inglis and it comes off 22 balls. Fun fact ... Inglis has two T20I hundreds (110 vs India in 2023 and 103 vs Scotland in 2024) but has never made a score between 50 and 100 in this format. Wow. Arguably an even more impressive shot as Inglis plays a reverse ramp for four. The fact it was so full and fast … superb. Then another two balls later, this time over the wicketkeeper. Ridiculous 360 degree batting. Australia in a strong position to take a 2-0 lead in this five-match series Australia 2-116, require 57 off 48 balls 12.52pm 100 up for Australia The visitors have consolidated nicely after the early loss of Maxwell and Marsh. A lovely mix of singles and big bombs to keep the scoreboard ticking over and get that required run rate under eight an over. If this pair can bat for another five overs, call it off. Inglis is 44 and Green 21. 12.45pm It's raining sixes in Kingston Inglis really ups the tempo with a six over mid-wicket off Motie. Very clever use of the crease, rocking back to thump one into the stands towards the Kingston Cricket Club. Cam Green now cracks one out of Sabina Park over square leg. Australia's batsmen had a centre wicket practice session with pink balls under lights three days before the third Test. Green, clearly with one eye on the T20 series that followed, was belting balls out of the ground. Similar shot just then. At the halfway mark, Australia look like they should get the job done. 12.37pm Inglis thumps Joseph as Australia take 19 runs off an over Alzarri Joseph is copping a bit of tap as Josh Inglis goes 6, 4, 4, from balls one, five and six of Joseph's second over. Now has figures of 1-28 from two. Australia's have got that required run rate a little bit more under control. Australia 2-72 from eight overs, require 101 in 72 balls

Just nice to be mentioned with those class players," Owen said after the match. Meanwhile, Aussie pacer Ben Dwarshuis returned a career-best 4/36, taking three wickets in four balls.

Rovman Powell 25 Runs Away From Overtaking Chris Gayle In Elite T20I List
The first T20I between West Indies and Australia could be a one to remember for former captain Rovman Powell, as he is currently just 25 runs away from overtaking legendary Chris Gayle to become his team's second-highest run-scorer in T20Is. Following a 0-3 clean sweep loss to Aussies in the Test series, with poor batting being a major concern despite some really fiery bowling, West Indies would be aiming to make amends with the first T20I of the five-match series set to be played on Monday. Currently, Powell is his side's third-highest run-getter in T20Is, with 1,875 runs in 95 matches and 83 innings at an average of 26.40 and a strike rate of over 142. His resume boasts of a century and nine half-centuries, with his best score being 107. Gayle is at the second spot, with 1,899 runs in 79 T20Is and 75 innings, at an average of 27.92 and a strike rate of 137.50. His best score is 117, having scored two centuries and 14 fifties in a brilliant career in the shortest format of the game, which consists of two T20 World Cup title wins. At the top of the charts is now-retired Nicholas Pooran. Pooran, who recently announced his international cricket at the age of 29 to the shock of many, scored 2,275 runs in 106 matches and 97 matches at an average of 26.14, with 13 half-centuries and a best score of 98. His strike rate is 136.39. The head-to-head T20I record between both teams stays level at 11-11, with Windies managing just one win in the last six matches. They would be aiming to improve their recent record, starting from this series, as the road towards the T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka begins. Squads: Australia Squad: Mitchell Owen, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Mitchell Marsh(c), Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis(w), Tim David, Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Adam Zampa, Cooper Connolly, Nathan Ellis, Aaron Hardie, Matthew Kuhnemann, Ben Dwarshuis West Indies Squad: Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Shai Hope(w/c), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Jediah Blades, Jewel Andrew, Roston Chase, Gudakesh Motie.
