Player of the Match

Glenn Maxwell

Right then, that’s all from us for this contest. Be sure to join us again on Monday, 28th July, for the fifth and final T20I of the series, coming to you from the same venue. That match gets underway at 11 pm GMT, but as always, we’ll be with you well before then with all the pre-match build-up and insights. Until then, take care and goodbye!

The captain of Australia, Mitchell Marsh, says it was a good effort with the ball. He mentions they managed to pick up a few early wickets and navigate some tricky periods in the middle. Marsh shares that 230 felt like a par score on this surface and credits the bowling unit for an outstanding performance. He admits it can get a bit hectic when a team comes hard at you, but says the message in the group has always been about staying calm and executing the plans under pressure. Marsh states that while Test cricket can be a grind, it is great to see Green enjoying himself in this format, and adds that he is an important part of the side moving forward.

Shai Hope, the West Indies skipper, says that defending the score is difficult, and they needed more runs to defend the total later on, which is why they went hard with the bat. Shares that the young bowlers showed that they are very capable and lauds Jediah Blades, who was excellent today. Adds that left-arm seamers are always a big asset to any side. Mentions that the fielding has been sub par and they know the importance of good fielding. Closes by adding that taking good catches or stopping runs makes a massive difference in the contest.

Glenn Maxwell wins the Player of the Match award. He mentions it was great to watch the power-hitters express themselves and for some of the batters to step up despite batting out of their usual positions. Maxwell shares that it was good fun at the top and adds that he always looks to contribute to the team in any way he can. He says it feels great to be part of a side playing such exciting cricket and hopes the momentum continues for a long time.

Presentation time...

Earlier, the West Indies batted first and posted 205/9, with contributions in the 20s from Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, and Jason Holder. Sherfane Rutherford top-scored with 31. For Australia, Aaron Hardie, Xavier Bartlett, and Sean Abbott each claimed two wickets, while Adam Zampa picked up three but proved expensive. Nathan Ellis went wicketless but impressed with an economical spell, conceding less than six runs per over. Another commanding win for the visitors to complete a comfortable chase, while the West Indies will hope to bounce back and salvage some pride in the final game of the series.

For the West Indies, Jediah Blades stood out with an impressive spell, claiming three wickets. Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, and Akeal Hosein chipped in with one wicket each. While the hosts showed noticeable improvement with the ball and managed to take the match deep, missed opportunities in the field ultimately cost them. They remain winless in the series as Australia take a 4-0 lead in the five-match series.

Australia have wrapped up another confident run-chase to clinch the fourth T20I by three wickets, sealing the win with four balls to spare. Chasing a formidable 206, the visitors suffered an early setback with captain Mitchell Marsh dismissed for a duck. However, explosive innings from Glenn Maxwell (47 off 18) and Josh Inglis (51 off 30) put them firmly in control. The middle order wobbled slightly, with Cooper Connolly and Mitchell Owen falling cheaply, but Cameron Green once again steadied the innings. Playing a mature knock, Green notched up his third fifty of the series and guided Australia home in the final over.

Akeal Hosein To Glenn Maxwell OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! An ideal start for West Indies after the break! Akeal bowls it on the shorter side but keeps it away from the batter's arc. Maxwell is made to reach out and he ends up dragging it with a flat bat. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of long on where Jason Holder takes a few steps in and takes it around his thigh. This is the first time Hosein has dismissed Maxwell in T20 cricket. Glenn departs for 47 (18). Australia are now 129/3, needing 77 from 59.

DRINKS BREAK! Australia are in control of the chase at the moment. Despite seeing the back of Josh Inglis, West Indies haven’t been able to dry up the boundaries or apply any real pressure, with 63 runs coming in 23 balls since. Since losing Inglis, Glenn Maxwell has taken charge and, alongside Cameron Green, has brought the equation down to 77 needed off the last 10 overs. West Indies have struggled with their lines and lengths under pressure and need a couple of quick wickets to spark any hope of a fightback.
