St Lucia: West Indies won 4th T20 against Australia at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia on Monday, 14th July 2021.
Notably, the West Indies cricket team obtained the lead in 5 matches of the T20 series.
In the fourth match, West Indies attacking player Chris Gayle played a blasted inning of half-century which played a vital role to won the game.
Chasing a reasonable target of 142, Gayle recaptured his most destructive form in racing to 67 off only 38 balls to take his side to the target with five overs to spare in St Lucia, Daren Sammy Stadium (DSS).
By spearheading the WI to an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the series, the 41-year-old also sent an apocalyptic warning that he could yet be a factor in the Caribbean side's defence of the World T20 title later this year.
Gayle's fireworks followed another efficient West Indies performance in the field as wrist-spinner Hayden Walsh again performed the most effective challenge to the Australians with figures of two for 18 in restricting the visitors to 141 for six.
All-rounder Moises Henriques topscored with 33 and struck only two sixes of his team's innings.
Henriques' contribution followed his side's best opening partnership of the series — 41 — between captain Aaron Finch and Matthew Wade.
Despite this, the tempo of the innings dropped considerably when Obed McCoy separated them in what proved to be the seamer's only over of the innings.
Mitchell Marsh fell cheaply for the 1st time in the series, and when Walsh accounted for Alex Carey & Finch in the same over, their hopes of a first formidable total of this campaign effectively came to an end presented the relative inexperience of their batting line-up.
