That concludes our coverage of game three from Warner Park. Australia have wrapped up the series 3-0. Keep an eye out for Gnasher's report. Game four is tomorrow. Look forward to your company then.

10.30pm Presentation

Mitchell Marsh: "We've played well so far in the series. We've executed well with the ball and there are no words for that innings from Tim David. We're giving guys opportunities in different roles. As a group we've played really good cricket."

Shai Hope: "I don't think we had enough runs on the board. On a pitch like that with the dimension of the ground, we know it's going to be hard to defend. I think we fell a few runs short and with the ball we needed to pick up more wickets. We're very powerful strikers but we have to give credit to the Australian bowlers, they've bowled very well in the death overs."

Tim David is player of the match: "I was just having a great time in the middle playing for Australia. It was nice to have a period at home and get my body right. I didn't think I would get the opportunity to get a hundred for Australia so I'm stoked. The pitch was good and small boundaries so you have to back your strengths. Warner Park is a great place to bat and it was great to have experience here in the CPL. I've spent a lot of time working on power hitting but now I'm working on my shot selection. I've been carrying that Dre Russ bat around for a year and it felt like it was the best time to use it."

10.23pm Australia win the series 3-0. Outrageous performance from Tim David. Australia were 61 for 3 when he entered in the powerplay chasing 215 and slumped to 87 for 4 when Green fell in the ninth over. He smashed 11 sixes and completely destroyed West Indies.

Tim David and Mitchell Owen's 128-run partnership is Australia's highest for the 5th wicket in T20Is, breaking the record of 97 between Mitch Marsh and Tim David. It came off 46 balls. Owen finished 36 not out 16 balls. His first T20I innings have been pretty good. West Indies are completely dejected walking off.

Kannadachi : "Watch out for Australia in the next WT20. they are serious title contenders !"

David: "Getting your first century after 282 games of T20....."

Shepherd to David, FOUR runs

glanced fine! A century off 37 balls! A new record in T20Is for Australia! Australia win by six wickets with 23 balls to spare! Full outside leg, he glances fine. He smashes Josh Inglis' previous record of 43 balls. It's the third fastest T20I century against a Test nation

Ahmed: "i find this very strange that your teammate is close to a 100 and youre almost about to win but you keep hitting boundaries, like Mitch Owen is doing." He needs two and is on strike
