Commentary

So that will be all from this contest but there's a lot of cricketing action from around the world. Australia's U19 team has set India a challenging target of 254 in the final of the World Cup in Benoni. You can head over here to catch all the updates from the run chase right here on Sportskeeda. For the moment though, this is the duo of Pratyush Rohra and Sooryanarayanan Sesha taking your leave. Thank you so much for tuning in and have a great week ahead. Buh-bye for now!

Australia haven't dominated the visitors in these two games as such. But they've done enough to come out on top and as always, they've been professional on that front. West Indies will take the batting positives out of this game but there's plenty work upon as far as their bowling is concerned. That's something they'll look to tidy upon as the party now moves to Perth for the final international game of the Australian men's summer in a couple of days' time.

Rovman Powell (West Indies captain): I think the boys showed courage and started aggressively in the chase. We kept losing wickets and failed to get big partnerships. Credit to the Australian guys, they bowled well. We knew if we had to get close, we had to have wickets. Our top order has a lot of power. (Losing early wickets) It's something we have to think about. These things happen when you're chasing 200+. You either get close or you tail away. It's very difficult (to bowl to Maxwell), he has great skills. We accept that but I think we strayed from our plans a little bit. If we take off 20-25 runs off that total, we could possibly get the win. A 2-1 scoreline is better than a 3-0. The guys are confident of getting a result and it's going to take a lot of effort from us.

Glenn Maxwell, surprise surprise, is the Player of the Match. Here's what he has to say: (On his scratchy start) Probably just didn't hit the gaps as well as I'd have liked from the outset. Probably started my innings thinking it was still New Year's Eve and it was a beautiful pitch. Once I calmed down I started to hit the gaps and gave the side a good platform. I made a good decision against Akeal when he bowled an inswinger. I slog swept that one. I was very clear at that moment that when he bowls the inswinger, I'll go for that shot. I was proud of that and was ready to ride that phase. I feel really comfortable in this form. In the last 18 months I've felt really good about my batting and my game. The game can feel nice and simple when you're out there and at times it can feel a little difficult. It's just about trying to feel comfortable while you're doing well. (On batting at number 4) It's a difficult spot. I guess why I enjoy it so much is because there are so many scenarios you come through and ride through.

Spencer Johnson: That's pretty cool, Sitting in front of friends and family, it's pretty special. Used to dream about playing here when playing in the backyard and coming here with my brothers growing up. There's a bit of tax. I have 20 or so friends here. Pretty cool (to carry on from the BBL form) A little bit, you sort of never know. Every time I step into a new level, it's a little unknown. To compete here feels pretty amazing. That was quite special to hear my name announced around the ground. It's something I never thought would happen, so it's pretty special. I've watched a lot of him (Pooran) and he's an unbelievable striker. Just the extra bounce here helped me. He (Maxwell) was unbelievable. He said before the game that he was going to get a hundred. To actually do it, he's a freak. (T20 World Cup hopes) It's on everyone's mind. We've just won the ODI World Cup so breaking into the team is going to be tough. The focus for me is on competing in the IPL.

Match Summary: Australia beat West Indies by 34 runs and take a 2-0 lead in the series!

Glenn Maxwell 120* (55) | Marcus Stoinis 3/36 (4)
Rovman Powell 63 (36) | Jason Holder 2/42 (4)

Another run-fest that Australia come out on the right side of. The West Indies have thrown everything at the hosts with the bat in both games so far but they've just been outbatted and more importantly, outbowled just enough. And the series margin reflects so as a result with Australia wrapping things up with a game to spare.

With 242 runs to get thanks to Glenn Maxwell's marauding onslaught, the West Indies swung wildly at everything. Sixes and wickets were the order of the powerplay - as were a host of dot deliveries as West Indies tried going into overdrive without marrying it with the right kind of method. Nicholas Pooran threatened to spice things up but regular wickets thanks to Josh Hazlewood's nagging accuracy and hard lengths as well as Marcus Stoinis' clever bowling meant that Australia were always in front.

Then came Andre Russell and he played like only he could, breezing along before he too perished. Rovman Powell took some time initially but cleared the fence regularly himself, racking up an outstanding half-century to keep his team in the hunt. Jason Behrendorff took a hammering and while Spencer Johnson's economy rate was on the higher side too, he was mighty impressive in his first game on home soil.

The innings was also marred by some bizarre events. Not least headlined by the Australian players left miffed by the umpires - first as Adam Zampa was asked to wait having not spent enough time on the park having been off the field for a bit and then when a run out was overruled since the Aussies didn't appeal, despite their consistent pleads that Tim David did. Either way, there was no way that the inevitable wouldn't transpire as Australia wrapped things up by a comfortable margin, taking the series in the process.

We can confirm that there was a sure appeal this time around! But Holder plonked his boot and his bat well in time before the deflection took the ball to the ropes. A bizarre end to an equally bizarre contest but Australia take an unassailable 2-0 lead with a 34-run win!

3 /32

19.6 Marcus Stoinis to Jason Holder, another one into the block hole, pushed back to Stoinis. He has a shy at the stumps and gets the direct-hit, ensuring he appeals this time. The ball has ricocheted the stumps and has gone for four, and four it'll be because Holder is back in his crease. A slightly bizarre ending to the game but its Australia who win by 34 runs and take a 2-0 lead in the series.

19.5 Marcus Stoinis to Jason Holder, around the wicket to nail the yorker at the boot. Deflects and rolls to short fine leg, no run

Around the wicket now.

19.4 Marcus Stoinis to Jason Holder, banged in short once more. Holder attempts another hook but this one comes off the cue-end of the bat and falls short of gully, no run

There's a fly slip in place.

200 up for West Indies!

19.3 Marcus Stoinis to Jason Holder, SIX! Banged in short and Holder takes it on. Takes it on alright, hooking it behind square to almost deposit it into the second tier

19.2 Marcus Stoinis to Alzarri Joseph, leg bye. Angled in from the back of a length, deflects off Joseph's pad for a single around the corner. A direct-hit at Joseph's end would have been certains

19.1 Josh Hazlewood to Jason Holder, short of a length outside the off-stump. Holder taps it through point for a single

Marcus Stoinis [3.0-0-25-3] to bowl the final over of the game

Perhaps the most eventful over of the chase and it had nothing to do with the cricket. The end result isn't going to change one bit as a result of this either but that sure wasn't a friendly chat discussing dinner plans alright. West Indies require 47 runs off the final over!
