| 3.5 : 3.5: Jason Holder to Josh Philippe, FOUR! Uppish but safe! Fuller in length and on middle, Josh presents the full face of the bat and drives it aerially back past the bowler and his partner. Holder sticks his right hand out but it's too far from him. The ball races down the ground, Alzarri Joseph gives it the chase, tries to pull it back in and in the process collides with the advertising board. No harm done though. The onfield umpire gets it checked upstairs and the third umpire finds that Alza |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Jason Holder to Alex Carey, FOUR! Uppish and just over the leaping cover fielder. Full and outside off, Carey leans forward and chips his drive over covers. It races away and then starts to slow down as it approaches the fence. Akeal Hosein chases and dives near the fence to pull it back. The onfield umpire gets it checked upstairs and finds that Akeal's elbow has touched the rope when he is in contact with the ball. A boundary is given. |
| 23.4 : 23.4: Sheldon Cottrell to Matthew Wade, FOUR! That was skilful from Wade, length ball around off but Wade just opens the face of the bat at the very last second and nudges it very fine and into the fence. |
| 30.4: Hayden Walsh to Adam Zampa, FOUR! Overpitched around off, Zampa leans into his drive and plays it through extra cover, the ball slowly but surely trickles into the fence. |
| 38.1 : 38.1: Alzarri Joseph to Matthew Wade, OUT! Wade is crestfallen, down on his one knee, cannot believe what he has done!!! Joseph fires across a fuller length ball outside off, Wade attacks it with all his might, aiming to go big over covers but the elevation is absent. It goes flat and straight into the hands of Pooran who is standing at the edge of the circle at extra cover. Can Australia reach 150 now? |
| 38.6 : 38.6: Alzarri Joseph to Adam Zampa, FOUR! Lovely shot! Full and outside off, Zampa lifts it over the jumping cover fielder for a boundary. Moves to 23, his best score in this format. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Sheldon Cottrell to Ben McDermott, OUT! Early success for West Indies and here comes the trademark salute from Sheldon Cottrell. A poor shot selection from McDermott and he bags a duck. First delivery from Sheldon in the region outside off, it's short and wide, Ben flashes his bat at it and gets a thick outside edge straight to Shai Hope. A disappointed Ben McDermott is back in the hut. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Akeal Hosein to Alex Carey, OUT! TIMBER! Dream delivery by Akeal Hosein this time. Gives it air just around off, Carey looks to hit this one over long on but gets beaten by the flight and pace of the ball as it goes through the gate and crashes into the stumps. Australia are in big, big trouble now. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Akeal Hosein to Moises Henriques, OUT! CAUGHT! Akeal Hosein strikes again! Nicely tossed up delivery, just outside off, allowing the ball to spin and makes Henriques play at it. Henriques leans forward but is undone by the turn and gets the outside edge to first slip where Holder takes a sharp catch. Australia are in tatters! |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Akeal Hosein to Ashton Turner, OUT! TIMBER! This is just classical spin bowling by Akeal Hosein. He is ripping through this Australian line-up now. Flighted delivery on middle, drifting in but then at the last moment turns away and bamboozles Turner who tries to block it by getting forward. The ball lands, grips and spins past his bat to shatter the stumps. West Indies are cock-a-hoop! |
| 40.4: Alzarri Joseph to Wes Agar, FOUR! Fuller on off and driven towards cover, Cottrell makes a meal of it and the ball goes into the boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Jason Holder to Josh Philippe, FOUR! Cracking shot! Holder hurls in a short delivery around off, angling in, Philippe hangs on the back foot and pulls it powerfully in front of square leg for a boundary, first of the match. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Alzarri Joseph to Josh Philippe, FOUR! Good length delivery around off, some extra bounce available, Philippe swivels on the back foot and heaves it over mid-wicket for a boundary. Nice shot to close the over. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Jason Holder to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Glorious! That's the shot of a batsman in prime form. Holder bowls it fuller and around off, Marsh shows the full face of his bat and unfurls a sumptuous off drive. Beats mid off and races away. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Alzarri Joseph to Josh Philippe, OUT! One shot too many from Josh Philippe. West Indies chalked out a plan, the trap was laid by keeping a deep fielder on the leg side and Josh walked into it. Alzarri Joseph dishes out a shortish length ball around off and the propensity of Josh Philippe to play the pull shot has cost him. He doesn't find the middle of the bat and it balloons in the air towards deep square leg. Evin Lewis is planted there strategically, he gets underneath it and makes no |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Jason Holder to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That's a big breakthrough for West Indies and their players are running in celebration. Mitchell Marsh has been a nuisance for them with the bat on this tour and the hosts are delighted to see his back so early. This is Test-match line and length from Holder, he serves it on a length around off, angling in and Marsh has to play the line. But the ball nips away slightly to take the outside edge. Shai Hope takes another catch and Australia |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Akeal Hosein to Matthew Wade, FOUR! Some innovations will bring runs for Australia! Flighted delivery, full and outside off, Wade reverse sweeps it wide of first slip for a boundary. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Starc, FOUR! Starc gets hold of this one and it goes like a tracer bullet. Short in length and close to off, this time Starc rides the bounce and plays a cracking pull shot over mid-wicket. Bang. The stand moves to 29 runs. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Alzarri Joseph to Mitchell Starc, FOUR! Smashed down the ground! Joseph goes fuller this time and lands it on off, Starc brings down a straight bat and smacks it straight past the bowler for a boundary. Australia have gone past their previous lowest total in ODIs. |
| 26.3 : 26.3: Hayden Walsh to Mitchell Starc, OUT! The decision is overturned. Flighted delivery, landing full and around middle, Starc sits down on one knee for the sweep shot but fails to connect cleanly. He is hit on the back leg, they appeal and appeal and appeal but the umpire remains unmoved. The bowler and the keeper manage to convince Kieron Pollard who goes for the DRS. The Ultra Edge shows no spike and the Ball Tracker indicates THREE REDS. The stand has been broken and Australia are 96 for 7 |
| 43.4 : 43.4: Jason Holder to Adam Zampa, FOUR! Short ball again and Zampa looks to hoick it over mid-wicket but gets the top-edge behind and into the fine leg fence. He won't mind it. |
| 44.5 : 44.5: Hayden Walsh to Adam Zampa, FOUR! Cleverly done by Zampa. Tossed up delivery on off stump and Zampa just reverses it fine of short third man for a boundary. |
| 45.1 : 45.1: Jason Holder to Wes Agar, FOUR! Holder attempts for a yorker but it turns out to be a very full ball in the slot, Agar drills it down the ground and finds the fence at long off. |
| 45.2 : 45.2: Jason Holder to Wes Agar, SIX! Agar goes big! Full and outside off, Agar walks across and swings it over square leg for a biggie. |
| 46.1 : 46.1: Sheldon Cottrell to Wes Agar, SIX! Agar is opening his arms! A length delivery outside off, Wes stands back and rifles it over wide long off for a biggie. |
| 46.6 : 46.6: Sheldon Cottrell to Adam Zampa, OUT! The off stump is obliterated! End of a good fighting knock by Adam Zampa. Cottrell serves a pacy length ball in the line of the stumps, Adam moves back to make room for a shot over the off side but fails to connect. The 9th wicket has gone down for 187 and that ends the record 59-run stand at this venue. |
| 47.1 : 47.1: Alzarri Joseph to Wes Agar, OUT! Joseph picks the final wicket! He follows the batsman down the leg side with a fuller length ball, Wes Agar is looking for space to flick it on the leg side but mistimes it badly off the leading edge towards Evin Lewis in the ring. He takes a simple catch at point and AUSTRALIA ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 187! |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Mitchell Starc to Evin Lewis, OUT! c Alex Carey b Mitchell Starc. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Mitchell Starc to Evin Lewis, OUT! Lewis is trapped in front and he is not reviewing it. You cannot be more plumb than this. Yet another fiery delivery, very full and on middle, it's speared in at 146 kph, swinging in, Lewis is late in bringing his bat down and is thudded on the pads. A huge appeal is made and this time the finger has gone up. Starc is delighted and jumps in joy! 178 needed off 283 balls. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Mitchell Starc to Darren Bravo, OUT! DEATH RATTLE! Starc is cock-a-hoop and we are loving every bit of his fiery bowling. This time he cranks up 148 kph and spears in a full ball around off, some swing again in the air as Bravo tries to defend from the crease. Fails to do so as the ball goes past him and destroys the stumps behind. The replays show that Darren was very late and played down the wrong line too. Australia are off to a perfect start! |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Wes Agar to Shai Hope, FOUR! Nicely timed and placed! Fuller length ball outside off, Shai gets on the front foot and transfers his weight into his drive. Beats extra cover and finds the fence. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Mitchell Starc to Shai Hope, FOUR! That's glorious! Shai fights fire with fire. Starc clocks 149 kph and delivers it wide outside off, the length is full and Hope rifles it over covers for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Wes Agar to Jason Mohammed, FOUR! Crunched through the covers by Jason, a half-volley outside off and Jason makes full use of it as he hits it for a glorious boundary. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Wes Agar to Jason Mohammed, FOUR! Agar doesn't learn from his mistakes and bowls this one even fuller, in fact, a full toss, Jason latches onto it and smashes it perfectly through covers for another boundary. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Riley Meredith to Shai Hope, FOUR! Fast outside off, bowled at 144 kph, a flashy drive comes out from Hope but he gets the thick outside edge to the third man boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Riley Meredith to Shai Hope, FOUR! A near yorker on middle at 140 kph, Hope almost falls over in his stance but still does well to dig this one out through mid-wicket for another boundary. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Riley Meredith to Shai Hope, FOUR! PURE CLASS! Pitched up on middle at 142 kph and Hope just plays a scintillating straight drive past the mid on fielder and into the fence. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Adam Zampa to Jason Mohammed, OUT! TIMBER! Zampa has struck in his first over! Tosses this one up on middle, it's a googly and Jason Mohammed doesn't pick it at all, He ends up playing all over it and the ball deflects onto the stumps off the pads. Yet another poor outing with the ball for Jason. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Adam Zampa to Shai Hope, FOUR! Aerial but safe! Tossed up ball outside off, spinning away, Hope goes down on one knee and drags his slog sweep in the air towards mid on. The fielder there dives but it evades him and finds the fence. |
| 13.2: Ashton Turner to Shai Hope, OUT! Bowled 'em! The bowling change has worked. Second delivery in ODI cricket for Ashton Turner and he has a wicket. Â The offie delivers it from 'round the wicket and pushes it flat and quick around middle and off, Hope jumps down the track for a big shot but misses the ball completely. The ball straightens a touch after landing and the off stump is tickled. Australia have managed to get rid of Shai Hope. |
| 14.2: Adam Zampa to Kieron Pollard, OUT! STUMPS SHATTERED! Pollard has been fooled by a well-disguised googly. Zampa is over the moon, pumped up in his celebration. This is a body blow to West Indies. The leggie delivers it on a fuller length close to off, Pollard is forward as he looks to flick but the ball turns back in, sneaks through the gap between bat and pad before cannoning onto the stumps. West Indies in big trouble! |
| 21.4 : 21.4: Mitchell Marsh to Jason Holder, FOUR! Boom! That's nice from Holder. Shortish length ball on off, nicely sitting up, Holder rides the bounce and hammer-pulls it over mid-wicket. 100 up! |
| 21.5 : 21.5: Mitchell Marsh to Jason Holder, FOUR! Marsh overcompensates with his line and length. Delivers it full and down the leg side, Holder neatly deflects it off his pads and finds the fence at fine leg. |
| 23.4 : 23.4: Mitchell Marsh to Jason Holder, FOUR! Controlled edge! A length delivery outside off, Holder gets forward, hangs his bat out and gently guides it late down to third man for a boundary. |
| 26.1 : 26.1: Adam Zampa to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! A long hop on middle, Pooran opens his arms and whacks this one to the deep mid-wicket boundary. 50 partnership up between these two! |
| 26.4 : 26.4: Adam Zampa to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Similar flighted ball on off, this time Pooran absolutely creams it through covers for a boundary. |
| 27.1 : 27.1: Riley Meredith to Jason Holder, SIX! Length ball on middle and Holder just picks this one up and dispatches it over the square leg fence. What a hit! Ben McDermott who makes a wonderful effort to catch it crashes into the advertising boards and injures himself. Hopefully, he's fine. 53 needed more. |
| 28.2 : 28.2: Adam Zampa to Jason Holder, FOUR! Short one on leg stump, easy pickings for Holder who just stays in his crease and whacks it behind square on the leg side for a boundary. |
| 28.3 : 28.3: Adam Zampa to Jason Holder, FOUR! Tries to bowl full but serves a full toss on off and Holder lofts it over mid on and finds the fence. Holder looking to finish the game quickly now. |
| 34.3: Mitchell Starc to Jason Holder, OUT! LBW! Length ball around off, angling in at 144 kph, Holder looks to tuck it away on the leg side but misses and the ball crashes into the pads. Starc appeals and the finger goes up. Holder reviews it but it's in vain as the wickets are the umpire's call which means the original decision stands. Can Australia carve an opening now? |
| 35.2 : 35.2: Ashton Turner to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Tossed up on off, Pooran decides to take it on and whacks it behind the bowler's head without much timing but still the shots has enough to get it over the fence. |
| 37.1 : 37.1: Ashton Turner to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! WOW! Tossed up on off, Pooran whacks it inside-out with the spin over extra cover for a biggie. Just 7 needed now! |
| 37.6 : 37.6: Ashton Turner to Alzarri Joseph, FOUR! WEST INDIES WIN BY 4 WICKETS! A flatter full ball around off, Alzarri Joseph goes with the turn and heaves it over mid-wicket for the winning runs. The series is levelled now. |
