West Indies vs Australia: Australia win by 6 wickets, through to tri-series final

West Indies vs Australia, AS IT HAPPENED:

# Maxwell gets the job done for Australia with a rapid-fire 46 from 26 balls to take Australia over the line. They win by 6 wickets with 8 balls to spare.

# Narine finishes with 10 in the last over and Australia need only 3 more.

# 4, 6, 4 and Maxi hands Brathwaite a humble pie! Just 13 needed from 18 now

# Warner watching intently!

Nice switch @Gmaxi_32 goes all the way. Great innings by the skip @stevesmith49 and @mitchmarsh235 now a solid partnership with these two.
