Chris Gayle belted 67 off 38 balls to guide the West Indies to a six-wicket win over Australia in the third T20I that also clinched them the series.

The Windies chased down Australia’s 141/6 comfortably with 31 balls to spare, taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

The 41-year-old Gayle slogged seven sixes and four boundaries as he posted his first T20I half-century since an unbeaten century versus England in the 2016 World T20. His knock also helped him become the first-ever cricketer to score 14,000 runs in T20 cricket.

Brief scores: Australia 141/6 in 20 ovs (M. Henriques 33; H. Walsh 2/18). West Indies 142/4 in 14.5 ovs (C. Gayle 67). West Indies won by 6 wickets
