Inglis and Green lead Australia to victory, spoil Russell's last game for Windies

West Indies stalwart Andre Russell was denied a winning farewell after Josh Inglis and Cameron Green smashed unbeaten half-centuries to secure Australia's eight-wicket victory in the second Twenty20 International on Tuesday.

Put into bat, West Indies managed 172-8 as opener Brandon King topscored with a breezy 51 and Russell smashed 36 off 15 balls in his final knock in international cricket.

Australia's Inglis (78) and Green (56) then pulverised the West Indies attack in an unbroken 131-run partnership to complete the chase in 15.2 overs, putting the tourists 2-0 ahead in the five-match series.

West Indies did not help their own cause by spilling six catches.

"I'm very grateful to end my career here playing in front of my own crowd, family and friends," Russell said.

"The result didn't go my way, but at the end of the day, I'm happy, I'm grateful.

"I wish the boys all the very best, and I wish them luck moving forward," added the 37-year-old two-time World Cup winner.

Australia sprang a surprise by asking Glenn Maxwell (12) to open the innings with skipper Mitchell Marsh (21) but the ploy did not pay off, both departing caught behind inside six overs.
