| Australia got off to a really good start with the help of Finch and Wade. But then came the struggle Australia continue to live with - their failure to command in the middle overs. From 41/0, they slipped to 80/4 in the span of 42 balls. The shot selection was better as compared to the previous two games as one understands that they wanted to avert a collapse but they were still going nowhere. Eventually, the experience of veterans in the domestic circuit, Moises Henriques and Ashton Turner, |
| MOISES HENRIQUESÂ is up for a chat. Henriques says that West Indies executed their plans really well and it looks a good wicket. Adds that they (Australia) have been guilty of batting in the middle order poorly. Adds that they need to be wary of West Indies' batting order. Tells that they are 20 runs short but if they bowl well, they can defend this score. |
| The West Indians were great with the ball even tonight and exceptionally good in the field. They started slowly, as Wade was on the counter-attack. But McCoy broke the opening stand to get things started for the Men In Maroon. Again, it was the spinning pair of Fabian Allen and Hayden Walsh who got things back under control. The duo had combined figures of 8-0-44-3 stifling the Aussies in the middle overs. Towards the end, Dwayne Bravo bowled superbly. Strangely, Obed McCoy was given just 1 |
| Right. The hosts will look to seal the series here, as they come out to chase an under-par target of 142. It is manageable but in the shortest format of the game, you can't say anything. The chase gets underway in a while. Stay tuned! |
| Right then. The chase is set to begin. The Australian players have made their way out in the middle. |
