West Indies went down fighting against Australia in the first T20I of the two-match series at the Carrara Oval in Queensland.

Opener Kyle Mayers top-scored for the visitors with a 36-ball 39, hitting four fours and a six during his stay in the middle.

Third T20I between Australia and England abandoned due to rain

Canberra on Friday. Needing 130 to win from 12 overs, Australia were 30-3 from 3.5 overs when rain forced the players from the field for the third and final time. England captain Jos Buttler said his team was building up well to the T20 World Cup, after winning the three-match series 2-0. "We made some good strides in Pakistan and we came here (Australia) and continued that form," Buttler said. It was a disappointing end to the match, the last official game for both teams before the World Cup, which starts on October 22. After being sent in by Australian captain Aaron Finch, Buttler smashed 65 from only 41 balls as England reached 112-2 in their 12 overs. Australia, already 2-0 down in the three-match series, then needed 130 to win based on the Duckworth-Lewis method.
