Australia compound West Indies misery with 5-0 win in T20 series

Australia completed a comprehensive 5-0 clean sweep against West Indies in their T20 series by winning the final match of their tour by three wickets.

The hosts were put into bat at Warner Park in St Kitts and Nevis and managed 170, with Shimron Hetmyer hitting 52 from 31 balls as Australian bowler Ben Dwarshuis took 3-41.

The Windies were given hope of a win when they reduced Australia to 25-3 but Cameron Green, Tim David and Mitch Owen got their side back on track.

Green scored 32 runs from 18 balls, David smashed four sixes in a 12-ball 30 and Owen raced to 37 – including three fours and three sixes – in 17 balls.

Aaron Hardie added 28 from 25 balls as Australia reached their target with three overs to spare.
