Kolkata, Mar 13 (IBNS): West Indies defeated Australia in a ICC World T20 practice match by three wickets and a ball remaining here on Sunday.

Chasing down Australia's 161 for nine, West Indies reached 162 runs by losing seven wickets.

Skipper Darren Sammy played a 28-ball 50 runs heroic knock which helped his side register a victory ahead of the grand T20 event.

Sammy smashed six boundaries and a six in his knock and got strong support from

Carlos Brathwaite (33) as the duo added 53 runs in the seventh wicket partnership to reach closer to the target.

Josh Hazlewood took three wickets for Australia.

Earlier, riding on Shane Watson's 60 runs knock, where he smashed four boundaries and four sixes, Australia had posted 161 runs for the loss of nine wickets.
