West Indies won by 3 wickets (with 16 balls remaining)
Phew! What drama as Australia fought back hard and almost stormed their way back into the game. West Indies were coasting at one point but then contrived to lose a few wickets in a heap, raising blood pressures across the Caribbean before Dwayne Bravo, displaying a cool head, steered them home.

Man-of-the-Match: Michael Hussey
Bravo dances down the track, reaches the pitch of the ball, drives it to mid-on and before the throw comes in, they cross over for the matchwinning single. West Indies win by three wickets and they are almost ensured of a place in the finals.
defended off the front foot
turned in the air towards square-leg
Take that! Awesome shot over long-off. Slower one, fullish outside the off stump, Bravo leans forward and goes through the line of the ball, top-hand comes off the bat-handle and West Indies now need only two runs.
low full-toss, on the off stump line, driven inside-out to the left of mid-off, manned by Katich,
defended off the back foot
outside the off stump, Baugh shapes as if he is about to throw his bat at it, but decides against it.
pushed to the covers and wants a run, Bravo, again shows a cool head, sends him back.
9 to win 24 balls. three wickets left.
on the off stump line, turns in slightly, Bravo goes back and dead-bats it away
outside the off stump, driven to the sweeper cover
on the legs, turned behind square-leg
Baugh breaks free. It was tossed up outside the off stump, overpitched and Baugh frees his arms and sends the ball crashing into the cover fence. Surely West Indies can't lose now?
pushed to right of point
Baugh tries to get out but fails! fullish outside the off stump, he goes for an extravagant square-drive, misses
short of length, outside the off stump and this one kept very low and Baugh jumps across his stumps, pokes at it and misses.

overpitched outside the off stump, Baugh drives it straight to cover
length-delivery slanting across, Baugh shuffles across, gets behind the line, pushes it towards cover
