Match over
Commentary :
0.0 : Hello and welcome to one and all! The action now shifts to the iconic Kensington Oval, Barbados. Another riveting contest awaits us as two strong limited-over sides will go head to head in a three-match ODI series. West Indies led by Kieron Pollard, if he is fit, will be coming into the ODI series high on confidence as they clinched the T20 series quite comfortably. There would be some new faces in the WI squad with the likes of Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Alzarri Joseph, etc. 
Australia on the other hand will be led by Alex Carey for the first time as Aaron Finch is ruled out of the 1st ODI due to an injury. It will be interesting to see if Mitchell Marsh brings his red hot form into the ODI series and helps them put on a better fight after a disappointing T20I series. Young and promising Josh Philippe could well be used by Australia at the top of the order in absence of Finch. Australia badly need their batting unit to step up and support their bowlers which the
Fun fact - This is Australia's first ODI since they played India back in December 2020 and Alex Carey and Moises Henriques are the only batsmen from that side to be in the squad now. Matthew Wade was not a part of that side but was very much a part of the squad and in all likelihood, should slot in for Finch tonight. To say that a lot depends on these senior folks, would be an understatement.
TOSS - The news from the middle is that Australia have won the toss and they will bat first.
Australia (Playing XI) - Ben McDermott, Josh Philippe, Mitchell Marsh, Moises Henriques, Alex Carey (C & WK), Ashton Turner, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Wes Agar, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.
Alex Carey says that the wicket looks quite nice. Adds that it is a great privilege to lead the side and he is really excited. Informs that Josh, Ben and Wes will make their debut
Justin Langer, the Australian coach, is down for a chat. Says that he loves being back in Barbados. Adds that it was a tough T20 series but they are getting better now. Says that there are challenges of being in a bio-bubble because you cannot explore the countries where you tour. Further says that they miss the crowds that used to come pre-covid.
Pollard says that he is happy to be back and his body is doing well. Adds that he would have batted first as well but the toss is also 50-50.
Darren Ganga is down for the pitch report, says that the straight boundary is 70 meters in length but the boundaries square of the wicket are smaller. Adds that teams usually like to chase here and there is some even covering of grass on the surface.
We are set to begin! The players take the knee first to protest racial discrimination. Josh Philippe and Ben McDermott, the two debutants will open the batting. Sheldon Cottrell to start with the ball.

15.6 : Review time! Oh well, Mitchell Marsh is walking already.
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
Drinks break! Australia got a good start with Josh Philippe looking in good touch in the first few overs but his wicket, followed by that of Mitchell Marsh will put them under some pressure.

A good bowling performance by West Indies means that they have restricted Australia to an average score. The Australian batting was all about that one partnership in the middle overs as everyone else struggled to get going on a two-paced pitch.
West Indies did not have the best of starts with the ball as Sheldon Cottrell and Jason Holder struggled to find their rhythm at the start. But in the middle overs, Akeal Hosein and Alzarri Joseph rocked the Australian top order with two wickets each. There was a strong stand in the middle overs and Aussies seemed well set to put on a massive score but Hayden Walsh dismissed both the set batters in the same over and went on to take his first 5-wicket haul in ODIs to make sure that the Aust
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!
Right then! 252 is what Australia have scored. The DLS revised target for West Indies will be 257, the pitch isn't the easiest to bat on so it will be interesting to see how they approach it. Do join us for the chase as it shall start in a short while.
Ashton Turner says that the conditions are really foreign to use but we are getting used to them due to the T20 series. Adds that the spinners will enjoy bowling here. Says that Alex and he got out at the wrong time but they still have a decent score. Further adds that the wicket will help the bowlers and they should look to take advantage of that.
We are back for the chase! The Australian fielders are out in the middle. Evin Lewis and Shimron Hetmyer walk out to bat. Mitchell Starc will start with the ball. Here we go..
