Matthew Forde and Roston Chase involve in a run-out debacle

The 21st over of the West Indies innings witnessed a crucial mix-up between Forde and Chase. It all began with substitute fielder Mckenzie Harvey‘s athletic stop to Forde’s mistimed pull shot at deep mid-wicket. As Forde initiated a run, covering more than half the pitch, his partner Chase remained anchored at his end. The swift relay from Harvey to keeper Josh Inglis resulted in an effortless stumping and unfortunate run out of Forde who was dismissed for a two-ball duck.

West Indies’ batting collapse: Series finale misery

The run-out incident served as a microcosm of a broader batting collapse for the West Indies, who were put into bat first by Australia in the series finale. Despite starting the first powerplay with a score of 36/2, the visitors lost their way in the middle overs and were eventually bowled out for a paltry 86. Xavier Bartlett emerged as the standout Australian bowler, finishing with figures of 4/21, well-supported by the dynamic duo of Lance Morris and Adam Zampa, who both picked two wickets each.

In response to the modest target, Jake Fraser-McGurk played a scintillating knock of 41 off just 18 balls, displaying unbridled aggression with three sixes and five fours. Inglis also contributed with a brisk, unbeaten 35 off 16 balls. Australia efficiently reached the target of 87/2 in just 6.5 overs, securing a resounding 3-0 series victory against the struggling West Indies.
