Player of the Match

Nicholas Pooran

That's a wrap to the second ODI. The West Indian spinners opened up some old scars of Australia and reminded them about their perennial issue. This win has handed them 10 crucial CWC points and now the hosts will be gunning for another 10 points along with the series win on Monday, 26th July 2021. The first ball will be at 2.30 pm local (6.30 pm GMT) but you can join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!

Kieron Pollard, the victorious West Indian skipper, says it's pleasing to win but he thinks they have some work to do. Mentions that after having Australia 6 down for 45, they didn't put their foot on the accelerator. States that his batting unit didn't make it easy as well and further says that it seems that they don't like to do things the easy way. Calls the performance of his spinners fantastic. He is satisfied with the way his bowlers started the game but again repeats that to let Australia reach 187 was a bit disappointing. Terms Australia's bowling as world-class. Praises Pooran and Holder for their partnership and feels that the former is looking like his old self again. On the role of Jason Mohammed in the team, Pollard replies that it's a catch-22 situation with him as he is playing a role where if you lose a couple of wickets, you want him to bat long. Also adds that Mohammed gives them that sixth bowling option. Signs off by saying that they would look to come up with their best combination in the last match and wants his team to keep improving in all three facets of the game.

Alex Carey, the captain of Australia, says it was an interesting game of cricket and it doesn’t help when you are 5 down for not a lot of runs. Still, Carey is proud that the bowlers got them to a respectable total. Tells that they took some early wickets again and created opportunities. Mentions that unfortunately they could not close the game and he feels that they were probably 20-30 runs short. Feels that spin is going to be a threat on these type of wickets. The Aussie skipper is impressed with the way Wade and Starc put up a fight with the bat. Further says that with the new ball it might spin and bounce a bit more so they need to survive the initial period against the spinners. Lauds all his bowlers and is pumped up for the last match but at the same time, he is looking for improvement in their batting.

Nicholas Pooran is chosen for the Man of the Match award! He starts by saying that he wants to dedicate this to his wife as this is his first half-century since he got married. Tells us that for him it was just about building a partnership and putting up a fight with Jason Holder. Mentions that he backed his strengths and was looking to find the gaps. On his success, Pooran credits that to his hard work and shares that he has been trying a lot of things in the nets. Praises all the bowlers for their good work and is honest to admit that they allowed Australia to get too many runs. Feels that the body language in the field dropped due to that.

Presentation time...

Earlier in the match, Australia were in all sorts of trouble as they were reduced to 45 for 6 inside 13 overs. It was a steady procession for them but the lower order combined and propped up the total to 187. Wes Agar played a vital knock and his record stand with Adam Zampa appeared enough once Australia also dismissed West Indies' top 5 wickets for 72 runs. But as mentioned earlier, the record 6th wicket stand at this venue for the hosts brought the series back on level terms. A word of praise for Akeal Hosein also who created big impact in his first spell.

It was all about fighting! Adam Zampa's double blow had the West Indies reeling at 72/5 and Australia appeared to be running away with the show. However, Nicholas Pooran and Jason Holder got together to stitch in a stand. The Aussies created opportunities but the dropped catch of Pooran when he was on 26 and the runs needed were 65 probably cost them the match. In a small chase, all you need is one big partnership and the 93-run stand between Pooran and Holder saw the hosts through.

A hard-fought win for West Indies! They had to sweat for every run as Australia turned up with full force in the defense of 187 runs. Mitchell Starc was bowling with a lot of fire and venom at the start and he got the better of Evin Lewis and Darren Bravo in one over. The partnership that followed between Shai Hope and Jason Mohammed could be pretty underrated but to keep the danger of Mitchell Starc at bay and form a 36-run stand at that time was no mean task. Shai slowly started to get into his groove, hitting a hat-trick of boundaries against Riley Meredith but then lost his concentration and got bowled after charging the spinner.

35.2

Ashton Turner To Nicholas Pooran

35.1

34.3

Mitchell Starc To Jason Holder OUT!

OUT! LBW! Length ball around off, angling in at 144 kph, Holder looks to tuck it away on the leg side but misses and the ball crashes into the pads. Starc appeals and the finger goes up. Holder reviews it but it's in vain as the wickets are the umpire's call which means the original decision stands. Can Australia carve an opening now?

34.2

Mitchell Starc To Jason Holder

NOT OUT! Length again on off, Holder looks to loft it over mid on but gets it off the inside half. It still manages to clear mid on. The batsmen scamper for two but there's a direct hit at the bowler's end. They appeal and it's referred upstairs. Pooran has made it safely back in as we can see in the replays.

A direct hit at the bowler's end. Is Nicholas Pooran gone? No, easily in.

14.2

Adam Zampa To Kieron Pollard OUT!

OUT! STUMPS SHATTERED! Pollard has been fooled by a well-disguised googly. Zampa is over the moon, pumped up in his celebration. This is a body blow to West Indies. The leggie delivers it on a fuller length close to off, Pollard is forward as he looks to flick but the ball turns back in, sneaks through the gap between bat and pad before cannoning onto the stumps. West Indies in big trouble!

DRINKS BREAK! Australia are right on top at the moment. Shai Hope, the set batsman, has just been dismissed and West Indies will have to put together one good partnership to get back into the game. The skipper, Kieron Pollard is the next man in.

13.2

Ashton Turner To Shai Hope OUT!

OUT! Bowled 'em! The bowling change has worked. Second delivery in ODI cricket for Ashton Turner and he has a wicket. The offie delivers it from 'round the wicket and pushes it flat and quick around middle and off, Hope jumps down the track for a big shot but misses the ball completely.

IN THE AIR... CATCHHHH... Starcy...Starcyyy...that's all the shout echoing in the empty stadium but it falls agonizingly short of Starc.

A single taken.

11.4

Riley Meredith To Nicholas Pooran

Pacy delivery at 144 kph, shortish and around leg, Pooran takes his eyes off the ball as he tries to glance. It possibly takes his gloves and deflects to the off side.

8.4

Adam Zampa To Nicholas Pooran

A bit short outside off, spinning in, blocked out by Pooran from the back foot.

Nicholas Pooran is the new batsman. His form across formats has not been up to the mark of late. Can he steady West Indies? 141 needed off 249 balls. A leg slip in place. Wade is heard saying to Zampa - 'Let him sweep straight up!'

8.3

Adam Zampa To Jason Mohammed OUT!

OUT! TIMBER! Zampa has struck in his first over! Tosses this one up on middle, it's a googly and Jason Mohammed doesn't pick it at all, He ends up playing all over it and the ball deflects onto the stumps off the pads. Yet another poor outing with the ball for Jason.

8.2

Adam Zampa To Jason Mohammed

Flatter and fuller on middle, Jason pushes it back to Zampa.

Mitchell Starc To Darren Bravo OUT!

OUT! DEATH RATTLE! Starc is cock-a-hoop and we are loving every bit of his fiery bowling. This time he cranks up 148 kph and spears in a full ball around off, some swing again in the air as Bravo tries to defend from the crease. Fails to do so as the ball goes past him and destroys the stumps behind. The replays show that Darren was very late and played down the wrong line too. Australia are off to a perfect start!

Mitchell Starc To Darren Bravo

Wide! Tries to target the pads of the batsman but ends up slipping it down the leg side.

Who will come in at number 3? It's going to be Darren Bravo.

Mitchell Starc To Evin Lewis OUT!

OUT! Lewis is trapped in front and he is not reviewing it. You cannot be more plumb than this. Yet another fiery delivery, very full and on middle, it's speared in at 146 kph, swinging in, Lewis is late in bringing his bat down and is thudded on the pads. A huge appeal is made and this time the finger has gone up. Starc is delighted and jumps in joy! 178 needed off 283 balls.

Mitchell Starc To Evin Lewis

Wide! Fires a full ball down the leg side at 147 kph, Lewis tries to flick but misses.

Mitchell Starc To Evin Lewis

Shout for an lbw, not given! A 149 kph delivery, Starc spears in a length ball just outside off and it comes back in a bit off the seam, Lewis offers no shot and is hit high on the back leg. They appeal but the umpire disagrees. The impact could not be an issue here but it hit the batsman too high. Carey decides not to review it.

2.3

Mitchell Starc To Evin Lewis

Delivers it on a length close to off, at 144 kph, holding its line, Evin stands back to push inside the line and misses.

Wes Agar To Evin Lewis

FOUR LEG BYES! Back of a length ball angling down the leg side, Evin lifts his front leg as he attempts to pull. Misses the ball but it clips his thigh pad and runs down to fine leg for a boundary. It's a no ball too for overstepping. Free Hit loading...

Fullish and on around leg, sliding down, Lewis tries flicking but misses. It deflects off the pads to the leg side and they cross for a leg bye.

0.3

Mitchell Starc To Evin Lewis

NOT OUT! Peach of a delivery by Starc. He darts in a length ball close to off at 143 kph and gets it to nip away from there. Evin is squared up in defense and the ball kisses something before going behind to the keeper. Carey comes up with a diving catch. They appeal, the finger is up and Lewis is quick to take the DRS. The Hot Spot shows a flat line and then as per the protocol, the third umpire checks for the lbw as well. The impact is outside off and it's missing the stumps too. Evin is saved by the technology.

Review for a caught behind. The umpire raises his finger to the appeal from Starc but Evin Lewis reviews it straightaway. We can see on the replay that the ball flicked off the pads and missed the outside edge, so, a good review from Lewis.

0.2

0.1
