Australia win by 47 runs and take the series 2-1. Hayley Matthews put the pressure on them again, despite carrying an injury, but when she fell West Indies collapsed losing 9 for 47. Unlike in Sydney, Australia held their nerve against Matthews tonight. Darcie Brown was excellent and changed the game. Tahlia McGrath had again shone with the bat.

Hayley Matthews is Player of the Match, again! That's eight in a row. And Player of the Series. "It was a bit tougher to start today, pitch was a bit slower. I want to be able to go out there and lead by example. Unfortunately we couldn't get over the line today...but want to see the girls grow."

Alyssa Healy. "Came with a good approach tonight and got the job done. The batting group seems to going really well and the bowlers have been threatening. Darcie was outstanding tonight. We are looking good heading into the ODIs. We'll have to be on song for the ODIs to make sure [Hayley] doesn't hit 300. They'll throw a bit and us, hopefully we can come out firing on Sunday."

That wraps things up for an entertaining T20 series. Hayley Matthews has been magnificent to watch. Hopefully she is fit for the ODIs. We'll be back for the first one-dayer on Sunday. For now, from Alex and Gnasher, it's goodbye.
