On Saturday, Australia secured a narrow three-wicket victory over the West Indies in the fourth match of their ongoing T20I series.

Glenn Maxwell also contributed a quickfire 47 off just 18 balls, including six sixes. Despite a few late hiccups, Australia ultimately reached the target with four balls to spare, taking a 4-0 lead in the five-match series.
The West Indies bowlers, led by Jediah Blades, fought hard to keep the game close, but the Australian batters proved too strong on the day. The series now heads to the final match on Monday, where the Aussies will look to complete a clean sweep.
