AUS vs WI 3rd T20I: Spencer Johnson Stuns Andre Russell With Nasty Bouncer - WATCH

West Indies batsman Andre Russell was caught off guard by a Spencer Johnson bouncer during AUS vs WI 3rd T20I. The ball hit him on his left hand before he tumbled to the ground.

Australia and West Indies are facing off in the third and final AUS vs WI T20I of the series at Perth Stadium on February 13 (Tuesday). West Indies' Rovman Powell won the toss and chose to bat first, opting to send Australia in to bowl. West Indies didn't have the ideal start, finding themselves at 80-5 after 9 overs. One noteworthy incident that caught the attention of many was a fierce bouncer delivered by Australia's Spencer Johnson to Andre Russell, leading to the latter falling to the ground in a belly-up position.

On the opening delivery of the 10th over, which was Andre Russell's second in the innings, Spencer Johnson delivered a ball that rose sharply from just short of a good length on the middle and leg-stump line. Despite Russell's attempt to evade, the pace of the ball made it challenging, hitting him on the gloves. Consequently, the force of the impact caused him to fall backward onto his back.

Following the impact of the ball, Andre Russell received medical attention but decided to continue batting. In the same over, Spencer Johnson attempted a couple more short-of-length deliveries, but the powerful West Indian managed to send them to the boundary.

Andre Russell, along with Sherfane Rutherford, propelled West Indies to a batting total of 220-6 in 20 overs. Russell played a sensational innings, unleashing a blitzkrieg by scoring 71 runs off 29 balls, which included seven sixes and four boundaries. Meanwhile, Rutherford contributed with a knock of 67 runs off 40 balls, hitting 5 sixes and 5 fours.

Australia had a strong start to their batting innings, reaching 98-1 in 10 overs, with David Warner consistently hitting boundaries to maintain the required run rate. However, Roston Chase shifted the momentum of the game by taking two wickets in a single over during the 14th over. In that crucial over, Chase dismissed David Warner and Josh Inglis.
