Glenn Maxwell once again proved to be a trump card as he produced yet another crucial knock to ensure another emphatic win for Australia.
Following an unbeaten 40 against New Zealand in the opening game and being 103 not out off 58 balls in the 2nd T20I, the 29-year-old scored a crucial 39 and brought up a 65-run third-wicket partnership with D'Arcy Short (36*).
During his exciting knock of 39, Maxwell also became the 4th Australian to score 1000 T20I runs.
Maxwell was eventually removed by Chris Jordan with the Aussies needing just 21 runs from 7 overs.
Then, Aaron Finch, who returned following a hamstring strain that he suffered during the preceding ODI series, smashed an incredible 20 off 5 balls to take Australia to 138 in the 15th over.
