A cakewalk for Australia, who are only one win away from winning the series. West Indies were sloppy with the bat and in the field in what was Andre Russell's final game for them. He doesn't get a chance to walk back with a win, though. West Indies won't have him available for the next game of the series, even as they must win it to remain alive. Until then, this is Himanshu signing off on behalf of Alex and Chandan. Goodnight, and take care!
Mitchell Marsh: "I think we've got a lot of talented players in Australia. Green's obviously a very valuable player for us. Doesn't play a lot of T20 cricket for Australia. A really important player. We need to sharpen up there [in taking catches]. Spinners were fantastic. Our fifth-bowling options were fantastic."
Shai Hope: "To be fair, we started pretty well. We need to develop a bit of rotation in the middle overs. We've got a lot of power in the back end. Maybe some adaptation. The way guys have been preparing and playing, I can't fault preparation. You only have yourselves to blame [for the dropped catches]."
Josh Inglis is the Player of the Match: "Guys like Green and Mitch can hit the ball so far. I don't have the luxury of time, really. It's just experience, and playing a lot of cricket and batting in a lot of positions. Hopefully I can make [No.] 3 my own. It's a young group. We've been together now for 18 months. We have a lot of fun together. Felt like I managed the tempo pretty well. I managed those middle periods really well."
Time for the presentations
Hayes: "Easy return game for David."
Andre Russell speaks, the last time ever in a West Indies jersey: "I just want to say thanks again. I'm very grateful to end my career here. Played in front of my home crowd, family and friends. The result didn't go my way, but at the end of the day, I'm happy and grateful. The crowd has been amazing in the last two games. Really appreciate it. We tried our best. I feel like it's time for me to just hang it up, and wish the boys all the best moving forward. I'm very grateful for this amazing international career finishing at Sabina Park. Keep supporting."
10.17pm Andre Russell satisfies his fans by clicking selfies and signing autographs. The people around those fortunate fans mob Russell, and why not? A legend is bowing out after consistently delivering for years. Russell please his fans for a few minutes, before joining his West Indies team-mates one last time. The Australia players congratulate him on a great career. Pretty sad for him to end with back-to-back losses at home, not least one where Australia have hunted 173 down in less than 16 overs. West Indies dropped half a dozen catches - Russell put one down himself - but don't forget Russell had thumped 36 off 15 balls earlier in the day. Beyond that, the game was about Inglis and Green, who added an unbeaten 131 for the third wicket. These performances will be great news for Australia building ahead of the T20 World Cup. Hang around for the presentations from tonight.
Chase from around the wicket.
David: "Loving what I'm seeing from Green. Guts it out on terrible wickets for batting in the Tests, and now smashing it in the T20Is!"
Game over?
