Glenn Maxwell blasted a record-equalling century as Australia beat West Indies by 34 runs on Sunday and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in its three-match T20 series. Maxwell smashed an unbeaten 120 off 55 balls, with eight sixes and 12 fours, and shared a 92-run stand with Tim David (31 off 14 balls) to propel Australia to 241-4 and the highest T20I score at Adelaide Oval. “We’re extremely lucky to have [Maxwell] in our team,” Australia captain Mitch Marsh said. “He’s a match winner, game changer and people come to watch him.”

The West Indies chase was derailed by the loss of five wickets in the first seven overs, but a rally led by captain Rovman Powell (63 off 36 balls) and Andre Russell (37 off 16 balls) briefly gave the tourists hope of reeling in the mammoth target. But the weight of the chase ultimately proved too much as Marcus Stoinis (3-36) and debutant Spencer Johnson (2-39) led Australia’s bowlers in restricting the West Indies chase to 207-9 in its 20 overs. Earlier, Australia slipped to 64-3 after 6.4 overs.
