The West Indies chasing 221 for victory recovered from 78 for 5 at one point.
However, with three balls to score one run and with only one wicket remaining, skipper Darren Sammy and Kemar Roach were trapped in the middle of the pitch while trying to steal the winning run.
Bret Lee collected the return from George Bailey and dislodged the bails at the bowler’s end to tie the match and keep the series at 1-1 with two matches to go.
Scores: West Indies 220 (49.4 overs)
Australia 220 (49.5 overs)
