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.
