That sums up the proceedings for tonight, folks. We'll see you again for the third game of the series on June 7, which would be between South Africa and Australia, and would begin at 22:30 IST. Sportskeeda's live coverage would start at 22:00 IST. Till then, it's a warm goodbye from your commentators, Kislaya Srivastava and Aadya Sharma.

Lyon: "We bowled pretty well in partnerships. To bowl WI out for 116 is a pretty nice thing. I try to stick with my off-breaks which have been working for me. Great place to play cricket (talking about the track) and looking forward to the game against South Africa."

04:14 (IST)6 JUN 2016

NATHAN LYON has been adjudged as the MAN OF THE MATCH!

04:14 (IST)6 JUN 2016

Smith: "It's nice to get off to a start like that. The spinners were magnificent today, they bowled in the right areas and they would be licking their fingers, if the surface remains the same for the new game against South Africa. Warner has been really good. The team that plays well against the spinners would hold the upper hand in the next game. Nice to get this game out of the way with a bonus point."

04:19 (IST)6 JUN 2016

Holder: "Obviously we didn't bat well. there are no excuses for not putting up enough runs on the board. We lost wickets in clusters, and couldn't build up partnerships. It wasn't an easy wicket to go out there and score freely, and we needed to spend some time at the wicket which we didn't. Credit to the way the guys fought. (in the 2nd innings)"

A good attempt with the ball by the West Indies but they just didn't have the runs on the board. David Warner was exceptional with the bat, on a surface where the other batsmen were struggling to find their rhythm. He finished unbeaten with 55 runs to his name. It must not be forgotten, however, that Sunil Narine was exceptional too, once again, in consecutive games, picking up 2/36 from his 10 overs. Australia pick up the bonus point as well. For a moment, there was a mini scare, when Narine bowled a two-wicket maiden, but there were just 25 runs to defend from thereon. The batsmen failed for the home side and they need to put in a much-improved performance if they have plans of winning the tri-series. In the end, Australia have been victorious by 6 wickets.

04:04 (IST)6 JUN 2016

03:52 (IST)6 JUN 2016

23.1 Narine to Warner, SIX! Delivers it wide of the crease, Warner sit on one knee and smashes it over the bowler's head and way into the stands. In the midst of a breathtaking spell by Narine, Warner launches the spinner straight back over his head for a gigantic six. What a player!

Narine to bowl his last over.

03:51 (IST)6 JUN 2016

03:44 (IST)6 JUN 2016

21.1 Narine to Mitchell Marsh, no run, ball pitches outside off stump and turns in. Hits him on the pads. They go for a review but there was too much turn. Seemingly, it has struck him outside the line of off stump, and it has pitched outside as well. Doesn't look like the review is going to work here. And, it doesn't. It stays NOT OUT!

03:42 (IST)6 JUN 2016

Narine continues.

03:42 (IST)6 JUN 2016
