The Australian was backing up a little at the non-strikers’ end and Pollard had the option to knock off his bails to ‘Mankad’ him out but he decided against it. Instead, the Caribbean captain pulled up in his bowling action and told Wade to stay in his crease.

Coming to the match, Australia thrashed West Indies by six wickets to clinch the ODI series 2-1.
Chasing the paltry target of 153, the visitors rode on Matthew Wade’s unbeaten 52-ball 51 and skipper Alex Carey’s 35 to get over the line with 117 balls to spare.
Earlier, the hosts got bowled out for 152 in 45.1 overs. It was a listless performance from the West Indies as none of the batters except for Evin Lewis (55*) managed to touch the 20-run mark.
For Australia, Mitchell Starc (3-43) claimed three wickets while Josh Hazlewood (2-18), Adam Zampa (2-29) and Ashton Agar (2-31) picked up two scalps each.
