Tim David’s Record-Breaking Century Stuns Windies in 4th T20 Showdown
If you missed the third T20 between Australia and the West Indies, you missed a fireworks show . The series, already clinched by Australia 3-0, is now rolling into its fourth game at Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts. But even though the series has been wrapped up, this match is far from meaningless—especially for the Windies, who are fighting for pride in front of their home fans.
The third game had everything: drama, milestones, and a massive chase that’ll be talked about for a long time. Shai Hope lit up the ground with his maiden T20I century, guiding the Windies to a solid total of 214 for 4. He opened alongside Brandon King and together, they stitched up a brilliant 125-run partnership. At that point, it felt like West Indies had finally put together a total that could hold off the Aussies.

And when Australia found themselves struggling at 87 for 4 in the ninth over, it seemed like the hosts might finally get a win on the board. But then—enter Tim David. What he did next was nothing short of outrageous.
In just 37 balls, he smashed his way to the fastest T20I hundred in Australian history. Yes, you heard that right— fastest ever . His knock included 11 sixes, and he brought up his century with a boundary that also sealed the victory, as Australia chased down the 215 with a jaw-dropping 23 balls to spare.
Mitchell Owen was equally impressive, supporting David with a rapid 36 off just 16 balls. Together, they added 128 runs off only 46 deliveries for the fifth wicket. It was a partnership that completely deflated West Indies' hopes.
For game four, there’ve been a few team changes. Australia’s gone with Aaron Hardie and pacer Xavier Bartlett, giving Tim David and Ben Dwarshuis a rest. West Indies, on their end, have brought in seamer Matthew Forde in place of spinner Gudakesh Motie. Once again, Australia won the toss and asked West Indies to bat first.
The fourth T20 is now not just about stats or the series result—it’s about momentum, confidence, and a chance for West Indies to restore some faith before the fifth and final match. For viewers in Australia, the match is live on Fox Cricket and can also be streamed on Kayo, with free trial options available for new users.
