With three test loses and two T20I loss, West Indies seem to have having their moment in the third T20. They had a spectacular start with both of the opening batsmen scoring not out half centuries and were already over 100 in 10 overs. If they kept the pace, they could easily go over 250. With more wickets in hand, they could play risky shots and score higher. T20 had been the favorite format for West Indies and I believe they'll have this win after a long drought of wins. Australia had been a strong team but anywhere near 250 would be extremely difficult to chase.

In the last T20I, we thought that West Indies might win, but our assumption was wrong because Australia, batting aggressively against a target of 215, defeated West Indies. Even if West Indies had scored 100 more runs with the way Tim David batted, Australia would have won today. However, in today's match, it was definitely felt that the pitch was entirely a batting pitch, due to which the bowlers bowled at a considerable cost in today's match, especially the West Indies bowlers who hit boundaries and overs whenever they bowled.

An aggressive batting performance has enabled the Australian team to win by a large margin, Tim David has hit the most boundaries due to which he has scored 102 runs off 37 balls and has enabled the Australian team to win. The way the unique batsmen performed in batting, of course, the West Indies team would have had a huge challenge in this match with the Australian team.
But only Tim David has made a huge difference in winning by batting aggressively. The victory of the Australian team in three consecutive matches, of course, the victory was possible due to their aggressive performance, but the Australian team has the most aggressive and reliable batsmen in the world of cricket.

That was high score match because West Indies International T20 cricket team gave big target in this match which was of 215 and opponent cricket team also played well and they chased the target in just 16 overs . Tim David was a person who made century in just 37 balls and he was a match Winner of this match and he hit 11 sixes and 6 fours and he was not out in this match at the end of the match. Shai Hope also made century in this match but his team could not defend score and bowlers took back to back wickets in this match .West Indies batters made good target but West Indies bowlers performance was very poor in this match and that was the reason they lost this match . Australia batters played according to need of team.

I remain corrected, I thought West Indies would be making 250 from there and that was not the case. Even though the Sai Hope played longer, he was not able to increase the run rate much and after his loss, the rest of the team couldn't maintain the run rate which led to the score of 215.
216 was still a good target but some good batting from Australia specially 37 ball century from Tim David had them win the match in 17th over. That was an aggressive instance by Australia. Tim not just wont the match in the last ball but also had his century with a 4 in last ball.

On other T20 match, in the finals of Tri series, New Zealand won against South Africa where New Zealand won all 5 matches they played. The T20 world cup is nearing and Australia and New Zealand are shaping themselves as the contender for it.
