AUS vs WI: Aussies blown away by Andre Russell’s 71 from 29 balls, still take series 2-1

AUS vs WI: This happens to be the highest T20I score for Andre Russell, eclipsing his previous best of 51.

After ordinary performances throughout the white-ball leg, the talented West Indies team finally came up with a performance to remember, as they beat hosts Australia by 37 runs in the third and final T20I in Perth on Tuesday. Despite losing the series 1-2, the Rovman Powell-led side gave a good account of themselves, as they first slammed 220/6 in the first innings, and then restricted the Aussies at 183/5.

The star of the show turned out to be Jamaican Andre Russell, who smashed 71 from only 29 balls, and struck at a rate of 245. His innings included four fours and seven sixes. That wasn’t the only highlight of the innings, but he also stitched a partnership of 139 with Sherfane Rutherford (67).

In the bowling department, Roston Chase curtailed the scoring rate, as he returned with figures of 2/19 in his four overs. Shepherd also contributed with 2/31, that ended Australia’s hopes of any fight. This is in stark contrast with the opposition bowlers, who leaked way too many runs.

Adam Zampa finished with 1/65, and gave 16.50 rpo. Spencer Johnson too leaked 49 runs, at 12.20 rpo. As far as the overall series is concerned, the Test series ended in 1-1 draw, while the hosts took the ODI series 3-0.
