West Indies vs Australia, 4th T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Zampa to Akeal Hosein, SIX, Hosein brings up the 200. Zampa tosses one up and invites Hosein to play the big shot, he obliges and lofts it down the ground, gets it off the middle and the ball sails over long-on

Zampa to Holder, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Brave move by Marsh to go with Zampa even though Owen was an option. But the leggie has delivered and sent back a set Holder. 99.6ks slider which is dragged short, skids on and Holder is drawn into the pull shot, the ball does not bounce much and the under-edge hits the back pad before deflecting onto the stumps. Holder b Zampa 26(16) [4s-4 6s-1]

Bartlett to Akeal Hosein, FOUR, not convincing but effective. Slower ball outside off, Hosein sees the width and throws his bat, the outside edge flies over short third and races away to the fence

Abbott to Forde, out Caught by Green!! Soft dismissal. Seemed like a planned one. Abbott goes short and into the wicket, no pace for Forde to work with, he tries to drag the pull and does so half-heartedly, lobs it towards short mid-wicket where Green was placed perfectly. He leaps up and takes it with both hands over his head. West Indies 8 down and there are still 20 balls left.. Forde c Green b Abbott 15(7) [6s-2]

Abbott to Forde, SIX, back to back sixes. He played a lot of these during his fastest fifty. Shuffles across, gets inside the line and uses the pace of Abbott to lap it towards fine leg. The ball just clears the rope..

Abbott to Forde, SIX, Forde gets into the six-hitting act. He is no mug with the bat. Has the joint fastest fifty in ODIs. Lenght delivery outside off, Forde had the width and he thumps it flat over deep extra cover

Nathan Ellis to Holder, FOUR, fabulous shot! Slower ball outside off, Holder walks down and gives himself room, has the space to free his hands and he tonks it over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes. Ellis went down in his followthrough after delivering the ball

Zampa to Holder, SIX, they continue to play their shots.. Flighted delivery around off, Holder bends down to get under the slog sweep and he launches it over the cow corner fence

Zampa to Holder, FOUR, short of length and bit of extra bounce, Holder gets on top of the ball and cuts it behind square, beats a diving short third

Zampa to Shepherd, out Caught by Green!! Wowza! Another piece of brilliance by Maxwell. Green will take the credit but it was all Maxwell. A drag down by Zampa and Shepherd hammers the pull flat, down the ground and Maxwell is pretty straight near long-on, he runs to his left and jumps as high as possible, takes it with both hands over his head and lands just inside the rope, but the momentum was taking him over, so he lobs the ball for Green coming in from long-off and falls beyond the rope. Shepherd c Green b Zampa 28(18) [4s-4 6s-1]

Bartlett to Holder, FOUR, smartly done! There was no one at fine leg. Holder had made up his mind to play the lap. He moves across and gets into a tangle as Bartlett shortens the length, but Holder manages to connect and lap it into the vacant region

Bartlett to Holder, FOUR, smashed! Holder gets into the act now. He moves away, gets on top of the good length delivery and drives it on the rise back past Bartlett. Mid-off was inside the ring and the ball races away..

Abbott to Shepherd, SIX, taken in the crowd. Slower short of length delivery, Shepherd waits and hammers it with a horizontal bat over extra cover. All power by the big man and he cleared the rope comfortably

Abbott to Shepherd, no ball, FOUR, this is top batting from Shepherd. Abbott is hitting those yorkers outside off, but Shepherd is up for it, he opens the bat face and slices it over the point region, couple of bounces and over the rope. Abbott has overstepped

Abbott to Shepherd, FOUR, shot! Low full toss outside off, Shepherd manages to get under it and pump it over extra cover

Abbott to Shepherd, FOUR, neatly played! Abbott nails the yorker outside off, Shepherd opens the bat face and squeezes it fine. Third man was inside the ring and Shepherd beat him comfortably

Hardie to Powell, out Caught by (sub)Fraser-McGurk!! There goes another.. This has been the story of the series. West Indies' batters don't take a step back, keep playing their shots and in the process keep holding out. Slower delivery outside off, Powell is deceived for pace as he did not spot it, drags the heave towards deep mid-wicket and JFM settles under it, laps it safely with both hands. Powell c (sub)Fraser-McGurk b Hardie 28(22) [4s-2 6s-2]

Nathan Ellis to Shepherd, FOUR, streaky! Short ball, does not quite come on and Shepherd is a tad early into the pull, gets a top-edge and the ball flies to the vacant fine leg region, couple of bounces and over the rope

Abbott to Hetmyer, out Caught by Mitchell Owen!! Another excellent catch. Australia have been terrific in the field. Full and outside off, it was pace off as well and Hetmyer reaches for the big shot, slices it over backward point and Owen charges in from the rope, dives forward and clings on with both hands. The big guys got down and took the catch, ensured it was in his grasp as he hit the ground. The partnership was starting to trouble Australia but once again they managed to nip it at the right time. Hetmyer c Mitchell Owen b Abbott 16(6) [4s-1 6s-2]

Abbott to Powell, FOUR, hammered! Powell is turning it on here. Full pitcher outside off, right in the slot and Powell does not hold back on the drive, drills it in front of square and gives the sweeper no chance of getting across

Abbott to Powell, SIX, the sixes continue to flow.. Fourth in quick time. Abbott comes back and starts with a slower ball, Powell picks the bones out of that, he swings across the line and sends it towering over wide long-on

Zampa to Hetmyer, SIX, back to back sixes. Turning into a big over. Third six in the over. This is flighted outside off, Hetmyer bends his back knee and pumps it straight down the ground. Another clean strike..

Zampa to Hetmyer, SIX, Owen was there at deep backward square and might have been interested for a second but the ball clears him comfortably. Hetmyer goes for the slog sweep and connects well. It was the line around leg-stump that allowed him to play the shot

Zampa to Powell, SIX, massive! He comes closer to Powell's arc and immediately disappears. This is out of the ground. Flighted delivery on off, Powell uses his strength to power it down the ground and send it bouncing over the roof. 102-meter maximum..

Nathan Ellis to Powell, no run, Australia lose a review. There was a couple of sounds. It might have been two pads but as per UltraEdge it was an inside edge onto the pad. Nippy good length ball and it skids on, Powell brings his bat down and a tiny edge onto the back pad saves him. The impact was in-line and the ball would have hit leg-stump

Nathan Ellis to Powell, FOUR, shot! Ellis greeted with a boundary. Full pitcher around off, Powell brings the bottom hand into play and drills the drive through extra cover - right between extra cover and mid-off

Zampa to Hetmyer, FOUR, Hetmyer is off and running. He sees a tossed up delivery, uses his feet and pumps it straight down the ground. Zampa put his hand up to catch but the ball was passed him before that

Zampa to Rutherford, out Caught by Mitchell Marsh!! Six and out. Zampa has his man. This is smart bowling. After bowling one in the slot, Zampa fires this outside off, makes Rutherford reach for it and the southpaw slices it straight to backward point. He opened the bat face and didn't bother to keep it down, simple catch for Marsh. Rutherford was looking good but has thrown it away. Rutherford c Mitchell Marsh b Zampa 31(15) [4s-4 6s-2]

Zampa to Rutherford, SIX, shot! The invitation was there and Rutherford takes it, fullish delivery on off, he clears his front leg out of the way and swings through the line. Sends the ball sailing over long-on for a 93-meter six..

Abbott to Rutherford, FOUR, back to back fours. He has been trying this shot and finally gets the desired result. Back of a length delivery, not quite short but Rutherford pulls off the front foot, places it right between mid-wicket and mid-on

Abbott to Rutherford, FOUR, uhhh! In the air and over Marsh. 117.1ks slower delivery and Rutherford was deceived for pace, he was through the loft early and chips it towards mid-on. He gets enough to clear the inner ring

Hardie to Rutherford, FOUR, overpitched outside off and Rutherford does not miss out, he does not move his feet much but transfers his weight into the drive, creams it in front of square and beats the deep point fielder

Hardie to Roston Chase, out Caught by Maxwell!! Excellent catch by Maxwell. He made that look ridiculously easy. Hardie's turn to strike. West Indies' batters continue to play their shots and lose wickets, Chase goes for a duck. Good length ball, not quite in the driving arc, Chase tries to send it down the ground and gets it off the bottom, Maxwell runs to his left this time from mid-on, times his jump perfectly and grabs it with his right hand. Chase might have thought he had got enough to clear the inner ring but not with Maxwell around. Roston Chase c Maxwell b Hardie 0(1)

Bartlett to Rutherford, SIX, that's a poor delivery. Strays onto leg-stump and Rutherford deposits it into the stands, just a help-along using the pace of Bartlett and sends the ball sailing over fine leg. 73-meter six..

Bartlett to Rutherford, FOUR, Rutherford nonchalantly puts the hat-trick ball away. On a length and around off, he prods forward and opens the bat face at the last second, guides it behind square and beats deep backward point to the fence

Bartlett to Shai Hope, out Caught by Maxwell!! Second wicket for Bartlett. Both in-form openers gone. Australia right on top. This is what Bartlett does in the powerplay - picks wickets regularly and that is something Australia missed in the first 3 games. 133.4ks back of a length delivery, bowled into the wicket and Hope has no room to play the pull, he mistimes it towards mid-on and Maxwell runs to his right, bends low and scoops it inches above the ground. Shai Hope c Maxwell b Bartlett 10(9) [4s-2]

Hardie to Shai Hope, FOUR, smashed! Hardie goes pace off - 115.5ks slower delivery, Hope backs away and delays the flat-batted hit, smacks it straight down the ground and beats the long-on fielder comfortably

Hardie to Shai Hope, FOUR, not where he intended but Hope has his first boundary. Low full toss outside off, Hope reaches and squirts it off the under-edge behind the stumps. The ball goes away fine and gives a chasing Inglis no chance

Bartlett to Brandon King, out Caught by Hardie!! Bartlett has the last laugh. He has this knack of picking wickets and he's given Australia an early breakthrough - just the second time they have picked a wicket in the powerplay this series. Back of a length delivery, might have just stopped on the pitch, King checks his shot and chips it to mid-wicket, simple catch for Hardie. Brandon King c Hardie b Bartlett 18(10) [4s-3 6s-1]

Bartlett to Brandon King, SIX, that's clean as a whistle. The best of the lot from King. Length delivery, right in the slot and King swings through the line, gets it right off the middle and the ball sails for a 86-meter six down the ground

Bartlett to Brandon King, FOUR, once more King uses his feet and throws his bat around. Fullish delivery outside off, King had to reach for it and he gets a thick outside edge, the ball flies over short third and races away..

Bartlett to Shai Hope, leg byes, FOUR, 129.3ks gentle loosener down leg, Hope misses the glance but the ball deflects off the thigh pad and races to fine leg

Hardie to Brandon King, FOUR, this is smart batting. There was a deep backward point in place before this ball. But he was brought in. King shimmies down, gives himself room and opens the bat face to slice it over the backward point region

Hardie to Brandon King, FOUR, that's a hack across the line. Not all that short but King had made up his mind to swipe it through the leg-side, gets enough bat and drags it wide of the mid-wicket fielder. King and West Indies are away..
