Live Cricket Scores – West Indies vs. Australia, 1. T20I

Australia imploding

Hayden Walsh Jr. has 3 and 23. All players in the assumed middle lineup have been overthrown. Dan Christian hits one in the long throat and the guests are now eight down. RRR is not a problem even now. But all the way to Zampa, Starc and Hazlewood to see through this.

Hayden Walsh Jr gives WI hope

Australia have no RRR concerns at all, but they are now six dropped when M. Marsh was dismissed by 51. Hayden Walsh has two, Can I put pressure on WI now?

Mitchell Marsh is responsible for the pursuit of Australia

There has been a very good call from Mitch Marsh, who hits number 3. Just took the required driving speed out of the equation with his approach. Some half-tracks and a bad field have helped him, but this is Australia’s right approach. Don’t set an overpriced price in the T20 format. Like Russell early, for M. Marsh, it’s the first fifty of the T20I. He also has two gates in this game. Australian Strategy 7-4 could do with such performances.

Australia drives along

Three down, but 70 has come to PowerPlay. It’s pretty easy to drive from here. Moises Henriques walks in the fall of Joshua Philippe, hitting the first six balls. The West Indies get their business cards, but they don’t have enough runs to play here.

Wade hits a fast 14-ball 33

Andre Russell makes him hit the only field on the deep edge. But three six and four in a short picture of an Australian guard bat. He also sent one from the country. He could have kicked more, but he has done his job. RRR is now very manageable.

Finch falls to Fabian Allen

But in Australia, where the stroke depth is, there are 16 on board after two crossings. In stark contrast, the calming of the hosts begins.

Hazlewood 3/12; Russell 28-ball 51; West India 145/6

The hosts have a bowl thanks to Andre Russell. Three-quarters and five-six, but the story of the innings is still Josh Hazlewood. He added a wicket away from Russell in the final stage to go with this sensational opening spell. Six off the last Bravo ball is the only bad ball he bowled through his four shots.

Russell takes Starcin

The other two six to him, the club straight along the ground in v when Starc misses his Yorkers. Another 16 crashes in the West Indies. Dre Russ has 37 out of 19. Good recovery after that slow start.

Performance over 6 for the first time

That man Andre Russell again. Takes 16 off Ashton Agar with a pair of six. WI 92/4 15 after bypass. Can they reach 150?

Another failure for Pooran

And this time he’s out of pretty weird circumstances. He is caught unexpectedly backing up from a non-attacker’s head. LBW has been sued against Hetmyer and in the ensuing unrest Phillipe causes Pooran to overthrow by pouring stumps. West India got stuck here in the fast sand.

Time for Pooran to take effect?

It hasn’t been in the best shape in this form in a while. The stand-in captain wants to stand up and lower. He’s gotten rid of a few limits from Mitchell Marsh and even that has taken the score to just 53/3 after 10 passes. The host needed a big second half.

Mitch Marsh strikes in his first match

A soft dismissal as Simmons tries to hit a third of the man ended up in a feather goalkeeper. Another strange inning from him, his 27 out of 28 contained two quads and two six and 17 point balls.

Two for Hazlewood when Gayle falls inside PowerPlay

There have been some unexpectedly reversible deliveries that make Hazlewood’s staple length much more difficult to handle. Chris Gayle believes he can pull the delivery either and can’t take the shot. The top edge finds its way into the short fine leg.

WI 24/2 in PowerPlay, which is their lowest PP level since August 2019.The focus light once again has spherical points. 28 point balls at this point today!

Hazlewood takes Lewis early; Cagey start for WI

This gate has a bounce and is a great ally for Hazlewood who makes one climb on top of Evin Lewis. The batsman cannot be pulled, and Mitchell Marsh robs the top halfway through. Early pressure on the West Indies kept on a leash only 11 runs come from the first 4 crossings.

Hazlewood has bowled 7 points in Gayle already.

Pollard out niggle; Finch selects the field

Nicholas Pooran is a captain in the West Indies. Hayden Walsh and Fabien Allen are back. Finch sticks to the T20 doctrine when winning the throw. He expects this new pitch in St Lucia to be good for 20 matches.

Teams:

West India (Replay XI): Lendl Simmons, Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran (w / c), Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Fabian Allen, Hayden Walsh, Obed McCoy, Fidel Edwards

Australia (Replay XI): Aaron Finch (c), Matthew Wade (w), Mitchell Marsh, Josh Philippe, Moises Henriques, Ben McDermott, Daniel Christian, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
