West Indies and Australia locked horns in their respective final league match of the T20 World Cup 2021 in Abu Dhabi. Australia have to win this game to keep their hopes to qualify for the semi-finals while West Indies are already out of the tournament.
Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to bowl first. Dwayne Bravo announced that this will be his last international match and he will retire at the end of this T20 World Cup.

West Indies started their innings off at a brisk rate but Chris Gayle got out after hitting two sixes. Gayle walked out giving an ovation to every corner of the park which suggested that he might be ending his international career as well at the end of this game while Bravo had already announced it.
West Indies managed to score 157/7 in 20 overs, where Kieron Pollard scored 44 runs in 31 balls.
In response, David Warner gave Australia a blistering start. He smashed boundaries for fun despite losing his opening partner Aaron Finch. Mitchell Marsh gave Warner good company in the middle and the duo scored 124 runs for the second wicket and the defeat was all but inevitable for West Indies.
Bravo bowled the 15th over, which was his fourth, and conceded 17 runs in it to end his spell reading 0/36 in four overs. Bravo scored 10 runs in 12 balls while batting in the first innings.
