As it happened: Russell and Chase spark stunning Windies revival for emphatic victory

And that’s all from us tonight, and that’s all for the Australian summer of cricket. For one that arrived with hardly any fanfare, Pakistan and the West Indies have punched well above their weight and entertained right to the end. Give me this summer over your standard Ashes drubbing of England any day.

Andre Russell was player of the match tonight, David Warner was player of the series. He tells Adam Gilchrist that he will definitely finish in Australian colours at the T20 World Cup.

“Time for the young talent to come through”. Gilchrist double-checks, and yes, that’s the last we’ve seen David Warner on Australian soil representing his country. An entertaining as always 80, not a bad way to wrap up a remarkable career.

Australia will be in New Zealand before we know it for three T20s and a couple of Tests - the T20s begin on February 21. We’ll have all the action as usual. Until then.

The middle overs sealed that for the West Indies, and in genuinely impressive fashion. Roston Chase started it after the visitors were 3-17, before Andre Russell (71 from 29) and Sherfane Rutherford (67 from 40) combined for the biggest sixth-wicket partnership in any T20 international.

Australia looked in good shape chasing 221 with David Warner flying past 50 - with a strike-rate around 200 - before Roston Chase and Romario Shepherd took charge. Chase’s 2-19 from four overs was the best bowling of the day, and by the time he was done Australia was staring down an asking rate of almost 20 an over. Well done Windies, proper T20 win that.

Tim David with some late pyrotechnics, hammers two legside sixes from Alzarri Joseph.

David finishes on41*, and that’s 109 runs for the series but no average - he hasn’t been dismissed once in the past three games.

The West Indies seal a well-deserved win by 37 runs, that ended up quite an emphatic victory after being 3-17.

A couple of wides from Romario Shepherd follows a Maxwell boundary through point. The wobbles, just maybe, for the Windies?

Nope. Next ball, Shepherd is on target and Maxwell is beaten, bowled by a leg stump yorker, he can only bottom edge it trying to hit through the leg side. Game, set and match.

Australia 5-154 (David 20*, Wade 2*) need 67 runs to win

Glenn Maxwell with two from five balls so far, Tim David alongside him at the crease. Almost anyone else in world cricket, you’d say 96 from 30 balls is impossible. And it still looks it. Especially with Alzarri Joseph starting with a trio of dot balls as Maxwell can’t connect. Surely not at this point.

The asking rate is more than 20 an over now. Roston Chase could have had Maxwell there too with a direct hit from point. Just two singles from the over.

David edges a boundary over the keeper from Jason Holder, adds another heaving over mid-wicket and finishes with a clean six down the ground. Still not enough though with 19 from the over. They need 25 each from the final three.

Australia 4-127 (David 7*, Maxwell 3*) need 94 runs to win

Real pressure situation for Australia now. David Warner holes out for 80, slowed right down toward the end there, Roston Chase bowling especially well to him and he gets his reward. Caught in the deep by Andre Russell at mid-wicket. Glenn Maxwell to the crease now as Australia need 16 an over. And a not-so minor miracle.

That could well be the last time we see the veteran opener on Australian soil playing for his country. He’s no certainty to play on after the T20 World Cup in June.

And to finish the over, Chase has Inglis caught and bowled. Fantastic stuff. That wasn’t an easy return catch, diving to his left. Australia have now lost 3-3 from the last 10 balls and Chase has 2-19 from his four overs. Game-turning spell.

Australia 4-117 (Inglis 1, Maxwell 0*) need 104 runs to win

West Indies spinners tightening things up. Warner and Hardie having to really work for pace on the ball, Hardie especially. 16 runs from the last 15 balls. Now or never for the West Australian because that required run-rate is starting to climb.

And just like that, Hardie is gone. Chops on to Romario Shepherd trying to jam a full, yorker-length ball out. Sixteen from 16 balls puts plenty of pressure on Josh Inglis now. Australia have resisted shifting Glenn Maxwell up the order.

Australia 2-114 (Warner 79*, Hardie 16) need 107 runs to win

Slight plateau from Australia since Marsh departed, Hardie with nine runs from as many balls as he and Warner trade singles. A smart reverse dink over the keeper from Warner though - very well-played against Roston Chase’s off breaks.

The required run-rate is pushing up around 12 an over now, but you suspect there won’t be any panic with Warner at the crease. A century is well and truly on offer - 71 from 37 so far. After 10 overs the West Indies were 5-92, but this is the point Andre Russell and Sherfane Rutherford went bananas.

Australia 1-98 (Warner 71*, Hardie 10*) need 123 runs to win

Australia starting to motor now, still with a bit of luck. Mitch Marsh doesn’t middle a boundary through mid-on, it only just clears a sprawling Andre Russell. It’s preceded by a fantastically large six from Warner, flicking Holder for 93 metres over backward square leg.

Warner approaching 50 now - he’s 44 from 24 balls - and the run-rate is being kept in check as Akeal Hosein comes into the attack after power play. Warner doesn’t even need a look at the spinner. First ball, outside off. Goes down on one leg and thrashes him over the rope at mid-on. That’s his 50.

Two balls later though, Hosein pulls his length back and Marsh can only top-edge a pull shot. Comfortable catch for Jason Holder in the deep. Undone by a bit of bounce from the left-arm spinner. Aaron Hardie to the crease at No.3.

Australia: 1-68 (Warner 50*, Marsh 17) need 153 runs to win

Beautiful pull shot behind square from Warner for four but battling for fluency so far. A couple of play and misses and attempted reverse sweep over the keeper that could easily have bowled him.

Starting to move now though with a bit of luck. Hammers Alzarri Joseph down the ground, great shot. Thick edge for four more over the slip, not such a great shot. Still, runs are runs. Marsh gets in on the act with the first six of the innings, hooking a short ball sliding down leg into the stands.

Fifteen from the over and Andre Russell into the attack. Warner top edges his first ball over slip for six. Cops the next one in the grill of his helmet, then cuts the third ball for four.

Australia: 0-37 (Warner 26*, Marsh 11*) need 184 runs to win
