Commentary
So the West Indies have won the one-off T20I and with it they end their Australian tour on a high. Something to cheer for them before they get back on their flight to home. That's it from us on this game, join us for tomorrow for the first day of the 2nd Test between South Africa and Pakistan. Till then, take care, good bye!
Pollard: Yea it is good to end the tour on a high. But on the whole it has been a disappointing last few weeks. We learnt a lot, we have a few more matches building up to the Champions Trophy in June, we will work on our weak areas and hopefully will comeback stronger.
Kieron Pollard is the Man of the Match
So the West Indies have done really well today, applied pressure right throughout the innings, never really let the Aussies off the hook. Adam Voges played a fighting knock but it was a little too much for the rest of the batsman. Kieron Pollard bagged three wicket to restrict their run flow.
