PERTH, Australia, Feb 13, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - West Indies captain Rovman Powell 
won the toss and opted to bat in the third and final Twenty20 international 
against Australia in Perth on Tuesday.

The hosts won the first match in Hobart by 11 runs and sealed the series with 
a 34-run victory at Adelaide on Sunday on the back of Glenn Maxwell's

In the only other change, Aaron Hardie comes in for all-rounder Marcus 
Stoinis.

The visitors made two changes with opener Brandon King rested and Kyle Mayers 
replacing him, while all-rounder Roston Chase gets an opportunity ahead of 
Shai Hope.
