West Indies vs Australia, 5th T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Nathan Ellis to Jediah Blades, out Akeal Hosein Run Out!! Akeal Hosein was nowhere to be seen. Way short of his crease. Blades chops it into the off-side and responded for a quick single. Ellis rushes forward in his followthrough, collects the ball with both hands and dives adjacent to the stumps to strike the stumps with both his palms ala Jony Rhodes. That is the end of the West Indian innings. Akeal Hosein run out (Nathan Ellis) 11(9) [4s-2]

Nathan Ellis to Akeal Hosein, FOUR, lots of width on this, Hosein makes use of it by heaving it away in the gap wide of the fielder at long-on to his left

Zampa to Akeal Hosein, 1 run, dropped! Slogsweeps the quicker delivery to the left of deep backward square. Dwarshuis runs forward and puts in the dive, the ball pops off as his elbows hit the ground...

Zampa to Akeal Hosein, FOUR, walks a long way across off and heaves the low full toss in the gap between long-on and deep mid-wicket

Zampa to Alzarri Joseph, out Bowled!! The off stump goes for a walk. A wicket in his 100th T20I for Adam Zampa. Quicker and flatter, Joseph had no clue. Just tried to slog down the ground and got deceived by the length there. Past the outside edge and hits the top of off. Alzarri Joseph b Zampa 3(4)

Nathan Ellis to Forde, out Caught by Mitchell Marsh!! Back of the hand slower ball dished wide of off stump, Forde looks to thump it down the ground but he didn't pick the variation there. Flew off the cue end of the bat and it is catching practice for the Australian skipper at extra cover. Forde c Mitchell Marsh b Nathan Ellis 15(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

Dwarshuis to Hetmyer, out Caught by Abbott!! Fifty and out. Slower short ball outside off, Hetmyer reaches out and tries to go over extra cover. The ball flies off the toe end and the fielder at long-off completes a fine catch with a dive to his right. Hetmyer c Abbott b Dwarshuis 52(31) [4s-3 6s-3]

Dwarshuis to Hetmyer, FOUR, fifty up for Hetmyer! Went across his off stump and hammered this short ball to the left of the fielder at deep mid-wicket

Dwarshuis to Hetmyer, SIX, smack! Juicy full toss outside off, Hetmyer clears his front leg and mows it over mid-wicket for an 81-metre maximum

Dwarshuis to Hetmyer, no ball, FOUR, that is a massive no ball. Too high on the body, Hetmyer took his eyes off the ball but did well to maul the pull behind square on the leg-side

Abbott to Forde, SIX, poor delivery from Abbott and punished! Short and drifting down leg, Forde picks it off his pads and hoicks the pull over deep square for an 80-metre maximum

Nathan Ellis to Forde, FOUR, width on offer outside off, Forde stays leg-side of the delivery and slices it to the left of backward point, beats the diving fielder in the deep to his left...

Nathan Ellis to Shepherd, out Bowled!! Knocks him over with a beauty! The wobble seam delivery that hits the top of off stump. A blind slog from Shepherd and he only manages to connect with thin air. Shepherd b Nathan Ellis 8(8) [6s-1]

Nathan Ellis to Shepherd, SIX, short and angled in at the hip, Shepherd crouches a touch and helps it away over deep backward square with a well-timed pick-up flick

Abbott to Holder, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Got him with a short ball. Holder looks to power this back over the bowler's head, but the length was short and wide of off. Thick outside edge to the right of the keeper. Holder c Josh Inglis b Abbott 20(15) [4s-2 6s-1]

Hardie to Holder, FOUR, a bit of luck now! Cross-seam full delivery outside off, Holder was late on it but he did get a thick outside edge that flew past the diving keeper to his right

Hardie to Holder, SIX, out of his crease and bam! Holder gave himself enough room while walking towards the ball and lofted that straight for an eye-pleasing maxmum down the ground

Dwarshuis to Hetmyer, SIX, clears his front leg and smokes it into the mid-wicket orbit. The length was full and Hetmyer did well to hit it into the wind for an 89-metre maximum

Zampa to Hetmyer, SIX, Zampa goes full and wide of off, Hetmyer sinks to one knee and swipes it into the wind, beating the leaping fielder at deep mid-wicket to his left

Abbott to Hetmyer, FOUR, width on offer, Hetmyer throws his hands on the cut and gets a thick inside edge that races past the diving keeper to his right

Maxwell to Holder, FOUR, quicker on the pads, Holder tickles fine and beats the fielder at short fine to his right. Off the mark with a boundary...

Maxwell to Rutherford, out Bowled!! Rutherford looks gutted. This is the best he batted all series and he fails to convert the start into a big score. Quicker delivery from Maxwell. Nearly bowled it at 100ks and got the ball to skid off the surface. It kept coming on with the arm and hit the top of middle stump. Rutherford was rooted to the crease and tried to create room - for a cut shot - at the last moment, no luck. Rutherford b Maxwell 35(17) [4s-6 6s-1]

Nathan Ellis to Rutherford, FOUR, banged in short outside off, Rutherford shuffles and swivels before top-edging the pull to the left of the fielder at deep backward square

Nathan Ellis to Rutherford, FOUR, Rutherford is looking in fine touch today. West Indies will hope that he can go big. 137ks back of a length outside off, Rutherford opens the bat face and steers it really fine to the right of the fielder at deep backward point

Abbott to Rutherford, SIX, first maximum of the game! Abbott goes wide of the crease and bowls the slower delivery well wide of off, Rutherford holds his shape and carves it up and over extra cover for a mighty maximum

Abbott to Rutherford, FOUR, wider lines from Abbott, Rutherford punches sweetly on the up and beats the fielder at cover to his right

Hardie to Rutherford, FOUR, a bit too full from Hardie, Rutherford gets under it and crunches it down the ground, beating the fielder at mid-on to his right while at it...

Hardie to Keacy Carty, out Caught by Maxwell!! No mistake from Maxwell this time around. Keacy Carty's scratchy stay comes to an end. He looks to tonk this down the ground, but there wasn't any room on offer. Tried to pick it off his pads and ended up skewing the ball into the air off the thick inside half. Maxwell, from mid-on, runs back to his right and completes the catch with ease. Keacy Carty c Maxwell b Hardie 1(8)

Hardie to Rutherford, FOUR, overpitched outside off, Rutherford uses the length to smack that over mid-off. Not well timed, but got enough power to clear the fielder there

Hardie to Rutherford, FOUR, stand and deliver. 131ks length ball sits up outside off, Rutherford is all hands as he flays it over cover, beating the diving fielder in the deep to his left...

Dwarshuis to Brandon King, out Caught by Tim David!! No dropping this time around. Short and wide of off stump, no feet from King as he tried to drag the pull on the leg-side. Skews it off the toe end of the bat and picks out the fielder at mid-wicket moving to his left. Both Windies openers gone quite cheaply. Brandon King c Tim David b Dwarshuis 11(9) [4s-2]

Hardie to Brandon King, FOUR, hint of width on this, King gets across and heaves the pull in the gap to the right of mid-on

Hardie to Brandon King, no run, dropped! It's Maxwell of all people. Short and skiddy outside off

Dwarshuis to Shai Hope, out Bowled!! Dwarshuis has his man. After conceding 2 back-to-back boundaries, he opts for the late inswinger into the left-hander. The length was on the fuller side and Hope played all around it sans any feet movement. Looked to clip, but the late inward movement beat the inside edge to crash into the base of leg peg. Shai Hope b Dwarshuis 9(6) [4s-2]

Dwarshuis to Shai Hope, FOUR, Dwarshuis overcorrects and bowls it too full outside off, Hope uses the width on offer to slap the drive up and over mid-off with superb timing

Dwarshuis to Shai Hope, FOUR, clears his front leg, waits for something short and he has dispatched the pull in the gap wide of mid-on to his right

Hardie to Brandon King, FOUR, full and sprayed wide of off stump, King looks to thump it down the ground and the thick outside edge goes flying over short third to his right. One bounce and over the ropes...
