Marcus Stoinis (24* from 16 balls) and Matt Wade 15* (10) got the Aussies home, with just 2 balls to spare.

Gutsy effort.

WIndies bowled out for 55 in 14.2 overs. England won easily - 4/56 in 8.2 overs.

And the third game in a week in which Bradsmith has top-scored for Australia.

Smith's innings should not be underestimated.

With the top 3 gone cheaply, he and Maxwell kept out some high class bowling - esp. from Anrich Nortje (considered the fastest bowler in the tournament) and Tabraiz Shamsi (the #1 rated T20 bowler in the World).

Had Smith and/or Maxy gone cheaply, it could've got very ugly.

Was a big call to leave Agar out but Maxwell filled that gap admirably, with 1/24 from his 4 overs, including 2 in the power play.

The Windies were ugly and disjointed in their thrashing by England but they may have got the inevitable shocker out of the way. I think they will still be dangerous. ☢️☣️⚠️ England are playing confident and calculating cricket
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

SL in a spot of bother, chasing the Banglas 4/171.

With just one wicket down, they were way ahead of their target. Then lost 3 quick wickets. Two to Shakib.

Now need 92 from 60 balls.
