West Indies did not qualify for the last ODI World Cup. However, in the T20, they are still the same as before, which was shown in the first match of the series against Australia. The fight in the match was crowded, despite being very close to victory, West Indies had to accept defeat by 11 runs. With this victory, Australia advanced in the three-match series.
Australia won the toss and batted at Hobart’s Bellerive Oval on Friday (February 9), losing 7 wickets in 20 overs and losing 7 wickets in David Warner’s fifty. West Indies’ innings stopped at 202 after losing 8 wickets in 20 overs.
West Indies made an opening pair of 89 runs in 52 balls after chasing the run. From there the score became 163 for 8 wickets due to the failure of the next batsmen. In the end, the Caribbean dreamed of Jason Holder storming to victory. But they have to stop on 202 Rab.
Adam Zampa turned the baton in the middle of the Caribbean’s innings. This leg spinner took 3 wickets for 26 runs in 4 overs. His victims were the West Indies trio of Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell. And that’s where the two-time champions fell behind.
Earlier, two Australian openers, David Warner and Josh Inglis, caused a storm at the beginning of batting. Both scored 93 runs in the opening pair. This pair broke when English got out after scoring 39 runs off 25 balls. Then Australia lost Mitchell Marsh (16). Warner also departed after fifty. The left-hander scored 70 runs in 36 balls with 12 fours and 1 six.
Then Australia lost two wickets very quickly. Glenn Maxwell (10) and Marcus Stoinis (9) departed. Tim David (37) and Matthew Wade (21) in the middle order, Australia crossed two hundred.
