David Warner guides Aus to T20 series win over West Indies

BRISBANE: Opener David Warner blazed 75 from 41 balls to set up Australia’s 31-run win over the West Indies on Friday and complete a 2-0 series sweep in a warmup for this month’s Twenty20 Cricket World Cup.

The defending T20 World Cup champion won the series-opening game on the Gold Coast by three wickets with one ball to spare on Wednesday and followed that up with a lop-sided victory at the Gabba.

Warner’s 23rd T20 international half century and Tim David’s 42 from 20 deliveries propelled Australia to a total of 178-7 after being sent in to bat.
