Australia beat West Indies by 8 wickets in ICC Men's T20 World Cup match that was played in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.


Australians easily chased 158 target in 16.2 overs in their final Super 12 match, with the win putting them in a good position to make the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final.
Half-centuries for David Warner and Mitchell Marsh, and four wickets for Josh Hazlewood made it four wins in five matches for Australia in Group 1.
The win took them to second in the group, equal on points with England. While they will have to wait for the result of the England v South Africa match before they can confirm their place in the semi-final, a healthy net run rate has put them in a good position.
Warner made 89* off 54 while Marsh supported him with 53 off 32 as they chased down the target of 158 with eight wickets and 22 balls to spare.
For West Indies, it was an emotional end to their title defence. The two-time champions showed glimpses of their era-defining T20 batting as they bid farewell to Dwayne Bravo and potentially Chris Gayle. However, they finished their ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 campaign with only one win in the Super 12 stage.
