ABU DHABI: Australia hammered already eliminated West Indies by eight wickets to edge closer to the semi-finals in the Twenty20 World Cup.
David Warner hit an unbeaten 89 off 56 balls and Mitch Marsh 53 as Australia chased 158 with 22 deliveries to spare.
Earlier, West Indies posted 157-7, captain Kieron Pollard scoring 44 and Josh Hazlewood taking 4-39.
The West Indies enjoyed a couple of handy partnerships in the middle overs, even as Australia kept chipping away.
Bravo and Kieron Pollard set themselves up to launch at the death. The duo added 35 in 28 balls, with the skipper leading the scoring.
Andre Russell finished off the innings with two sixes off Mitchell Starc in his unbeaten 18 off seven balls.
Defending champions West Indies failed to give a winning farewell to Dwayne Bravo, who played his last international.
Australia gave Bravo and Gayle a guard of honour after Warner hit the winning runs.
