West Indies all-rounder Fabian Allen produced a bit of magic on the field by taking a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Aaron Finch in the fifth T20I. Australian skipper Finch looked well set on 34, but he holed out in the deep while trying to dispatch a full toss from Hayden Walsh Jr.

Fabian Allen covered a lot of ground before diving full length to complete an astonishing catch. You can view the dismissal here:

The 26-year-old failed to deliver with the bat in the fifth T20I as he was dismissed for just one by Adam Zampa. On the bowling front, Allen returned with figures of 0-29 in his three overs.

While opener Evin Lewis starred for the hosts with a brilliant 79 off 34 balls, Chris Gayle entertained in his short stay at the crease, scoring 21 off seven deliveries. For Australia, Andrew Tye was the pick of the bowlers, returning with figures of 3-37.
