swung over the leg side, finds the gap at deep midwicket but it's Australia's game. Just too late from Russell tonight.

Australia win by four runs and make it 3-1 in the series. What a terrific game that was from start to finish. Australia raced out of the blocks thanks to Mitchell Marsh and were then pulled back by Hayden Walsh Jr. Then Lendl Simmons started the chase in style before Marsh and Adam Zampa turned the match before Fabian Allen took Riley Meredith for four sixes. However, Mitchell Starc stood tall to deny Andre Russell in the last over. Was it the right call not to take those runs? You can understand Russell backing himself. An excellent contest. I'll bring you the presentations shortly.
Taha Sh: "Starc should be given the Motm award for that last over itself, won the match out of nowhere after that disastrous over from Meredith"
arun g: "Backing yourself to hit the big shots is fine! But, turning down singles with 4 wickets in hand, especially when you can run byes with the keeper standing back, doesn't seem to make sense. That would have put the bowler under so much more pressure in the last 2 deliveries!"
Max: "Geez, what a game! Although Finch may have almost lost it for Australia by picking Meredith over Behrendorff."
Mitchell Marsh is player of the match. "I thought the new ball came on really well tonight. We saw that with both teams. Growing up at the WACA, I love [facing] fast bowling, a bit of fun. It was a great all-round performance from all our bowlers. I thought it was probably par, the wicket slowed up towards the back end but with West Indies you never think it's enough."
Nicholas Pooran "We didn't start properly, the momentum shifted in the fourth over. We let them get away from us and didn't execute as good as wanted to. Maybe we could have got more singles in the middle overs, that last over was well executed by Mitchell Starc so well bowled to him. The way Hayden bowled again, Fabien Allen with the bat, he looked like Superman, so a lot of positives."
Aaron Finch "We stuck at it all the way, they got away in the Powerplay but that can happen. The way Mitch got away to flier allowed me to sit back. Then it was a chance for both of us to accelerate after the rain break. We knew if Mitchell Starc executes he's as good as anyone in the world. Lot of faith in him. The way Adam Zampa bowled through the middle, Mitch Marsh and Jason Behrendorff, took the pace off the ball."
I'll wrap things up there for today. We'll be back for the final match of the series on Friday. For now, from Gnasher and Peter, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.
