Australia win by 17 runs and secure the T20I series 2-0. They were being challenged when Hayley Matthews was there, but once she fell the chase faded. By the time Deandra Dottin found the rope it was too late. West Indies really need to figure out their top-order tempo before the World Cup. Again, though, not a perfect display from Australia - for the second time in the series their innings faded with the bat and another catch went down which might have proved crucial had Matthews stayed a few more overs. Still, their depth came through again. Good innings from Georgia Voll and Ellyse Perry.

Jackson: "The batting during the Sri Lanka T20I series was awful, and that has just continued here in both the matches. A really bad sign in a World Cup year."

Alana King is player of the match: "I'm just loving having the ball in my hand...it's coming out really well. What a way to test your skills against the best. Trying to take the opportunities with both hands."

Hayley Matthews "Happy I was able to hit them a bit better towards the end. Probably a bit disappointed with the start I had but glad I was able to stick in. In our bowling innings they got away to a big start and the way we were able to pull them back showed a lot of courage. To get close is an improvement from where we've been...have to put together a full game together now."

Sophie Molineux "It was hard-fought, the Windies came really hard which we always knew they would do. Plenty of positives. She [Voll] is awesome and really sets the tone for us...we keep backing her to play her game. It's great to see Kingy out here, she's bowled some really hard overs, too, the game was in the balance and we threw the ball to her and she did the job. Thought Georgia Wareham played her role as well. It's been a really good team effort."

That wraps things up for today. Australia with a series win secured after their defeat to India last month. We'll be back for the final match of this series on Monday (Tuesday in Australia) but for now, from Gnasher and Alex, it's goodbye.

Sundar: "Not able to comprehend the Sophie conundrum - bat at 8 so didn't get chance in both games. But being a bowler, isnt she expected to bowl atleast couple of overs ? Last match she didn't bowl and this match she is yet to !!! If fitness the challenge why not make Ash the captain?" They are basically banking on being able to win with were a non-bowling captain due to her back injury so she can lead the side close to the World Cup
