Chasing 200 to win, Australia made a solid start despite losing Josh Philippe in the first over as skipper Aaron Finch (34) and Mitchell Marsh (30) took charge, but the visitors lost their way after the duo departed to finish at 183-9 in 20 overs.
West Indies fast bowlers Sheldon Cottrell (3-28) and Andre Russell (3-43) ensured that Australia’s batsmen could not build on their starts as the hosts produced yet another dominating display at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium.
