00:00Another day, another defeat.
00:02But it didn't look that way at the start of this match
00:05when Brandon King and Shea Hope were going berserk at the top of the order.
00:09King was hitting the ball cleanly.
00:11And Hope was equal to the task.
00:16King brought up his half century and the West Indies looked like they had the capability of scoring 300 on a small ground.
00:23King's innings ended when he was on 62.
00:26It came off of 36 balls.
00:29Hope was showing his class as well, showing no signs of slowing down.
00:35Shimran Hetmeier's contribution was also short-lived as he made just nine.
00:50Hope brought up his century as the West Indies approached 200.
00:55The West Indies' saver.
00:57Soaring Hope records his first D20I century.
01:01However, was it a match-winning total?
01:04Rothman Powell made nine.
01:06Rutherford was run out for 12.
01:08Windies getting to 214 for four from 20 overs.
01:12In reply, the visitors led by Mitchell Marsh got off to a good start.
01:16However, the Windies kept themselves in the game until the ninth over.
01:20Glenn Maxwell got out with the score on 30.
01:23A wonderful throw to send him on his way.
01:25Josh Inglis was out-court.
01:28Marsh had the third wicket to fall for 61, but only 5.5 overs were gone.
01:37At 87 for four in the ninth over, the match could still go either way.
01:41Tim David and Mitchell Owen turned the game around.
01:46David hit the fastest T20I century by an Australian.
01:50But will history remember this moment?
01:53Dropped on 90.
01:55The West Indies developing a habit of shooting themselves in the foot.
01:58And they were punished.
02:00Flat and hard and muscle.
02:04David not out on 102.
02:06Owen with him on 36.
02:08215 and 16.4 overs.
02:12A breeze.
02:13Australia takes a 3-0 series win with two more matches to go.
