The West Indies smashed its way to victory over Australia on the strength of an unbeaten 125 by left-hander Wavell Hinds -- days after ending the No. 1 team's record victory streak in one-day internationals.
The West Indies beat the World Cup champions a second straight time Friday, by three wickets with six balls to spare.
The hosts scored 254 for seven to overhaul Australia's 252 all out.
On Sunday, the West Indies ended Australia's world record one-day international victory streak with 21 matches at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad.
Australia still holds an unassailable 4-2 lead in the seven-match series. But Friday's loss was the first time Australia has lost two in a row since Pakistan beat them twice last June at Melbourne's Docklands Stadium.
The final match in the Caribbean tour is Sunday at St. George's, the Grenadian capital.
Hinds, a hero of the previous victory with 79, notched his second one-day century with five fours and six sixes in 140 balls Friday.
He and Ramnaresh Sarwan (50) set up the West Indies' successful chase with 114 for the third wicket, after captain Brian Lara (15) was caught and bowled by off-spinner Andrew Symonds to make it 67 for two.
Lee's concussion
Australian fast bowler Brett Lee (three for 50) showed no ill-effects of the mild concussion he sustained after he was hit by a ball in training.
He bagged Hinds' fellow opener Chris Gayle, and took two more wickets in three balls -- those of Sarwan and Marlon Samuels (0) -- in the 40th over to send a shudder into the West Indies ranks.
The locals slumped to 193 for five when part-timer Darren Lehmann pouched a return catch to remove the dangerous Ricardo Powell (1). But Hinds resumed the leading role and gained levelheaded support from wicketkeeper Ridley Jacobs (8) and David Bernard (7).
A frantic 31 off 19 balls between Hinds and Bernard sealed consecutive defeats for Australia for the first time since last June against Pakistan.
Australia threatened a run feast after openers Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden put on 90 inside the first 15 overs. But after Corey Collymore induced Hayden (29) to swing a catch to deep square leg, the Australians stalled.
Only Gilchrist (64) and Lehmann (43) also scored well, as the rest were hobbled by fine slow bowling from Gayle (three for 37), Samuels (two for 39), and Sarwan, who claimed the wicket of in-form Symonds.
