WI vs AUS 2025 3rd T20I Review:

David reached triple figures on the penultimate ball of Australia's 215-run chase, hitting a boundary to wrap up the game and series for the visitors. Australia had chosen to field, and Shai Hope's century had earlier pushed the West Indies to 214/4. Hope stitched a vital 125-run partnership with Brandon King for the first wicket after smashing 102 off only 57 balls.

Australia had a rough start, falling to 65 for 3 after losing their top three hitters during the powerplay. As they struggled to gain momentum, Tim David and Owen joined together at the crease to take the fifth wicket, giving them hope. Australia reached 120 for 4 at the 10-over midway point.  

The fastest T20I century by an Australian, David scored a scorching 102 off just 37 deliveries after smashing 17 boundaries. Owen scored a rapid 36 from 16 balls to provide vital support. Their 128-run, 44-ball fifth-wicket partnership gave the visitors a historic victory. Australia won the series 3-0 with this win.
