Warner, Starc help Australia sweep series against West Indies

Australia's David Warner smashed an incendiary half-century and Mitchell Starc claimed four wickets conceding 20 to help the hosts beat West Indies by 31 runs in the second Twenty20 International and complete a 2-0 series sweep in Brisbane on Friday.

Warner got Australia off to a flyer with his stroke-filled 75 and Tim David belted 42 off 20 balls down the order to power them to 178/7 after being put in to bat.

Starc led Australia's spirited defence of the total with career-best figures, while Josh Hazlewood conceded only 19 runs in his four overs even if he finished without a wicket.
