Australia cruised to a thumping eight-wicket victory over West Indies in the second match of their T20I series in the Caribbean.

Josh Inglis and Cameron Green were the stars of the show for the tourists, scoring 78 not out and an unbeaten 56 respectively in Kingston, where Andre Russell played his final international match before retirement.

West Indies had put on a respectable 172-8 across their innings, with Brandon King scoring 51 as he led the hosts to 63, alongside fellow opener Shai Hope (nine), before succumbing to Adam Zampa, who was the pick of Australia's bowlers (3-29).

But King's dismissal sparked a collapse, as the Windies went from 63-1 to 98-5.

Russell's blistering 36 got West Indies back on course, but Australia had few issues in hunting down their target.

Glenn Maxwell (12) and captain Mitchell Marsh (21) fell early, but Inglis and Green took control, putting on a huge third-wicket stand of 131.

Russell dropped Inglis at one point, before going for 16 from his final over in international cricket.

Inglis reached his unbeaten 78 off just 33 balls, while Green hit a second successive half-century as Australia reached their target with 28 balls to spare and took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

Data Debrief: Australia pair into the record books

Inglis and Green rode their luck at times – both of them were dropped twice each – but it was nevertheless a brilliant, record-setting display from the duo, who put on Australia's biggest third-wicket partnership in the format, overtaking the 118 previously set by Aaron Finch and Maxwell.

Green has now scored 423 runs across his last 14 innings in the short format, and reached a half-century in back-to-back T20s for only the second time, having done so previously in the 2023 Indian Premier League.

Australia are now on a run of seven wins from their last eight T20Is against the Windies, having only won two of their previous 10 such meetings. West Indies, meanwhile, have lost their last five T20Is at home, equalling their longest losing run in such fixtures in the format.
