Match over

4.4 : 4.4: Sheldon Cottrell to Josh Philippe, FOUR! Top shot! Short ball around waist high. Josh Philippe pulls it to fine leg for a boundary.
6.2 : 6.2: Sheldon Cottrell to Josh Philippe, SIX! Picked up! He seems to be very confident in playing the short ball. Well, this isn't the deadliest of short balls to be fair. A nice short one, down the leg side. Josh Philippe swivels and pulls it just over the fine leg fence.
6.6 : 6.6: Sheldon Cottrell to Josh Philippe, FOUR! Punished! Short ball, on the body. Sheldon Cottrell isn't bowling at an express pace so Josh Philippe has no qualms in pulling this to the square leg fence.
7.3 : 7.3: Jason Holder to Ben McDermott, FOUR! Just past! Short ball, outside off. Ben McDermott cuts it past the diving cover fielder and gets the boundary.

9.5 : 9.5: Jason Mohammed to Josh Philippe, SIX! Clean hit over long on from Josh Philippe. It is tossed up, around middle and leg. He steps down and lofts it over long on for a maximum. That brings up their 50 too.
10.6 : 10.6: Akeal Hosein to Josh Philippe, OUT! BOWLED! A promising start by Josh Philippe ends! Flatter ball, in the line of the stumps. Josh Philippe backs away to the leg side looking to cut it but gets the under edge back on the stumps. Akeal Hosein draws first blood and a good stand is broken! Good ploy by West Indies, there was a fielder at deep point but they brought him in. That probably enticed Josh Philippe to go for the cut.
12.2 : 12.2: Akeal Hosein to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Sprayed down the leg side. Mitchell Marsh paddles it to fine leg for a boundary.
12.5 : 12.5: Akeal Hosein to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Tossed up on off. Mitchell Marsh sweeps it towards sqaure leg for a boundary. A clean strike this.

15.3 : 15.3: Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Flayed! Mitchell Marsh gets width and he cuts it hard, past the diving point fielder for a boundary.
15.6 : 15.6: Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Marsh is caught down the leg side. A very unfortunate dismissal one would say. It is sprayed down the leg side, Mitchell Marsh looks to tickle it and gets a slight glove on it. The ball goes to the keeper. Nicholas Pooran takes a good catch towards his left down the leg side. At first, the umpire did not give it but the moment West Indies reviewed this, Marsh started walking as he knew that he got some glove on it. Huge wicket t

25.2 : 25.2: Alzarri Joseph to Ben McDermott, OUT! TAKEN! Ben McDermott's debut innings ends! Back of a length, just outside off. Ben McDermott is drawn into a half-hearted push and the hint of swing includes the outside edge. Jason Holder's big hands do the rest at first slip. The Aussies are in some trouble now, one more wicket here will expose their lower order. 
26.6 : 26.6: Akeal Hosein to Ashton Turner, FOUR! A gift to end the spell! Full toss, on the pads. Turner says thank you very much and whips it to the wide long on fence. Akeal Hosein ends with figures of 10-1-50-2.

44.1: Hayden Walsh to Alex Carey, OUT! BOWLED! Cleaned him up! Full pitched ball a bit quicker this time by Hayden Walsh. Alex Carey looks to slog sweep over the on side, but misses it completely and the ball crashes onto the leg stump. Huge wicket this for West Indies.
44.5 : 44.5: Hayden Walsh to Ashton Turner, OUT! CAUGHT! Falls on 49! Tossed up ball outside off. Ashton Turner top edges the sweep towards deep square leg. Evin Lewis takes a good running catch coming forward. Another set batter departs.

48.6 : 48.6: Hayden Walsh to Adam Zampa, FOUR! Tossed up outside off. Adam Zampa looks to smash the ball hard. Gets a thick outside edge and the ball races away to the boundary. The short third man fielder has no chance to stop that one. So, Australia have put up 252 runs on the board, but the target for West Indies according to DLS would be 257!
0.1 : 0.1: Mitchell Starc to Evin Lewis, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A dream start this for Mitchell Starc and Australia. It is a good length ball on stumps.

5.6 : 5.6: Josh Hazlewood to Darren Bravo, OUT! CAUGHT! Full ball, outside off. Darren Bravo drives it uppishly through covers. The ball goes straight into the hands of Mitchell Marsh at cover point. And Australia are well and truly on top here! This is some brilliant bowling by the Aussies!

The ball takes the outside edge straight to Ashton Turner at first slip, who does not make any mistake. And this should be curtains for West Indies.
21.6 : 21.6: Mitchell Starc to Akeal Hosein, OUT! Three reds and gone! Full ball, on middle. Akeal Hosein looks to defend but gets hit on the pads. The umpire raises his finger and rightly so!
