Swamp powers Australia to Tri-Nation win...
BRIDGETOWN: Mitchell Marsh rose as the impossible rocking the bowling alley saint for Australia as the World Cup-holders vanquished the West Indies by 58 keeps running in the last of the Tri-Nation One-Day International Series.
Set a testing focus of 271 after wicketkeeper Matthew Wade's unbeaten 57 drove an Australian lower-request restoration from 173 for six to a last aggregate of 270 for nine off 50 overs, Marsh guaranteed the prized wickets of Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels, including the scalp of opening batsman Johnson Charles for good measure to viably cut off home side's interest.
His restrained medium-pacers acknowledged tightfisted figures of three for 32 with the West Indies not able to recover the great batting type of prior matches in being rejected for 212 off 45.4 overs at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Sunday.
Josh Hazlewood finished the tail to complete with the best figures of five for 50, yet it was Marsh's spell that had the effect when it mattered most.
"We truly battled well this evening and I generally felt we could protect that aggregate," said successful commander Steve Smith. "It's simply the way we play. We have faith in ourselves and go hard at the restriction without fail."
Charles topscored with 45 and highlighted in an empowering opening organization of 49 with Andre Fletcher.
They weathered the early ambush from Mitchell Starc however it was individual new ball bowler Hazlewood who prised out Fletcher in the eleventh over of the innings.
Bog, decreed Man of the Match, then solidified Australia's control of the match when he had Bravo gotten behind, Samuels taken at short additional spread and Charles leg-before inside the space of ten runs.
At 72 for four and with the top batsmen gone, West Indies' odds of triumph had reeled into implausibility, particularly when leg-spinner Adam Zampa attracted the enormous hitting Kieron Pollard into raising a catch to long-off.
Like his Australian partner, Denesh Ramdin endeavored to build a recuperation. His skipper, Jason Holder, overwhelmed a 43-run stand in contributing 34 preceding tumbling to Nathan Coulter-Nile.
A couple huge hits via Carlos Brathwaite then created some fervor before he was knocked down some pins by Hazlewood and starting there on, the top choices finished off the match, Ramdin being eighth out for 40.
Hazelwood took the Man of the Series respects.
Incidentally, it was Marsh's rejection to spinner Sulieman Benn in the 37th over that raised Caribbean any expectations of annoying the five-time World Cup-champs who were then in threat of being released for under 200 and jumbling Steve Smith's choice to bat first.
However Wade by one means or another figured out how to get by against his enemy, secret spinner Sunil Narine, and thrived against the seamers, slamming three sixes to finish a recuperation that saw 97 runs included throughout the last 13 overs.

"We missed having Shannon accessible toward the end of the innings," Holder watched. "I felt he was our most obvious opportunity with regards to knocking off their lower request."
His initial four overs had demonstrated costly yet Gabriel returned halfway through the innings to represent Smith (46) and the hazardous Glenn Maxwell in the same over.
Aaron Finch drove the accuse at Gabriel of a strong thump of 47, his most noteworthy ODI score against the West Indies. He searched set for a major innings when a miscued hurl off Pollard offered Samuels a straightforward catch on the square-leg limit.
Holder returned amidst the lower-request rally to catch Coulter-Nile, however the chief seemed to have misjudged his knocking down some pins choices in just permitting Brathwaite eight of a conceivable ten overs.
