Starc to Jerome Taylor, FOUR, nicely played. Low full toss on the stumps, Taylor leans forward, presents a straight bat face as he drives it along the ground, beating mid-on who's chase is a doomed failure
28.1 -
Lyon to Brathwaite, FOUR, Brathwaite is not afraid to play his shots. Sees this tossed up delivery and tries to whack it towards mid-wicket but ends up slicing it over mid-off. One bounce and into the fence
26.4 -
Lyon to Narine, FOUR, sligthly slower through the air, Narine gets forward and drives it along the ground through covers. The ball races away to the fence
5.3 -
Hazlewood to Darren Bravo, FOUR, can he dispatch those clouds like he has cracked this one from Hazlewood? Short ball and Darren Bravo made a bit of room and then flat batted the pull through square leg with disdain
4.4 -
Starc to Darren Bravo, FOUR, that's crunchier than a walnut. Half-volley and it did not swing, Bravo leant into it and drove past cover, head nicely over the ball. Everything right about it
4.1 -
Starc to Darren Bravo, FOUR, full toss and Bravo does not miss out. Carves this one away from a diving backward point
4.0 -
Hazlewood to Charles, FOUR, Charles is there because that slip was taken off and the second one which was there had to move a bit wide. Charles threw his bat this fuller length and got a thick edge, which bisected the keeper and the lone slip
0.4 -
Starc to Andre Fletcher, no ball, FOUR, that is too high and Fletcher flashes at it, gets a thickish edge that flies past slip cordon into the third man fence. Free hit coming up
28.4 -
Lyon to Brathwaite, SIX, that's a massive hit. Picks this flighted delivery early, gets underneath it and tonks it over long-on. The ball went a long way into the stands. Came right off the screws.
8.3 -
Lyon to Charles, SIX, how can you bowl full to me, man? Charles steps down and flumps it over the deep mid-wicket fence

Zampa to Brathwaite, out Caught by Finch!! It's all over. West Indies have been bundled out for a paltry total. This is the lowest total by West Indies against Australia in ODIs in West Indies. Coming to the ball, Zampa serves a tossed up ball on the stumps, Brathwaite crouched low as he went for heave, ends up mistiming it to long-on who takes an easy catch. Brathwaite c Finch b Zampa 21(48) [4s-1 6s-1]
30.4 -
Zampa to Narine, out Stumped!! One more gone. A needless shot from Narine. This was the googly from Zampa, Narine skipped out aiming a swing across to mid-wicket, the ball spun away from Narine as he misses it and the keeper does the rest. Narine st Wade b Zampa 5(8) [4s-1]
26.1 -
Lyon to Benn, out Caught&Bowled!! Yet another soft dismissal. Eight down. Tosses it up on the stumps and stopping a touch off the deck, Benn wanted to push it towards mid-off, perhaps he was early into the shot and lobs it back to the bowler who accepts it gleefully. Benn c and b Lyon 3(7)
23.4 -
Zampa to Holder, out Bowled!! One more down. Australia are wreaking havoc here as West Indies lose their skipper. Holder made room as he backed away a touch, Zampa fired it quicker and flatter, Holder misses the cut and the ball crashes into the off-pole. Holder b Zampa 1(6)
22.2 -
Maxwell to Ramdin, out Lbw!! Another one bites the dust. West Indies are in tatters now. Maxwell drifts it on the stumps, Ramdin tried to play across the line, misses and is struck below the knee-roll. The umpire's finger went up in a flash. Ramdin lbw b Maxwell 12(30)
16.2 -
Lyon to Pollard, out Caught by Warner!! I think someone sent Pollard for some other match not this one. Some match where the slog overs are in progress or the team needs some 50 off 3 overs. I am sure about this. Why on earth would he try to go over the top to a spinner who has been turning them big and has just devoured Samuels. But who am I to judge his approach? Pollard tries to go over the top, does not get it off the meat of the bat too. Was nowhere to the pitch of the ball and handed a candy to Warner at long-on. Hat-trick ball coming up. Pollard c Warner b Lyon 0(1)
16.1 -
Lyon to Samuels, out Lbw!! Drifted this from round the wicket and got it to turn in. Samuels was glued in his crease as he tried to nurdle it. Missed the turn and was struck right in front, did well to not rob his teammates of a review. Pollard is here now. Samuels lbw b Lyon 10(14)
13.1 -
Starc to Charles, out Bowled!! That's the delivery which Bumrah bowled to get rid of Gayle in the T20 WC semifinal. I am sure this one was a bit quicker though. Full swinging in and Charles's angled bat is not the response it would have respected. Charles might have got an inside edge as well. Middle-stump has done its share of exercise by jogging back. Charles b Starc 22(40) [4s-1 6s-1]
11.1 -
Mitchell Marsh to Darren Bravo, out Caught by Zampa!! For every bit of recklessness that Charles showed, Bravo has to pay the price. Bravo is to be blamed for this one though. The pitch is holding up a bit but he decides to play an on the rise drive, does not keep it down and the ball goes straight into the hands of cover. Zampa there was not very clean with it, fumbled a bit but to the delight of the visitors, was able to hold onto it on the second attempt. Darren Bravo c Zampa b Mitchell Marsh 19(31) [4s-3]
0.5 -
Starc to Andre Fletcher, out Caught by Maxwell!! Starc does not have to wait for long. He has his man. Fletcher is gone, fuller length from Starc as he always does with the new ball. Gets the ball to curl in a bit, Fletcher was never looking to keep the drive grounded. Unfortunately sliced it and found Maxi at backward point, who reverse cupped it with ease. Andre Fletcher c Maxwell b Starc 4(4) [4s-1]

Starc to Ramdin, 1 run, Starc dropped it short and put in some shoulder. That 146 mark was a testimony, Ramdin cuts it to third man. It was in the air for a while but away from backward point
