  • Player of the Match
    Nathan Lyon
That wraps up the formalities of this game. A one-sided affair in the end. Join us in two days time for the big one as Australia take on South Africa at the same venue. The action starts at 2230 IST on 7th June. Till then, it's good bye from us.
NATHAN LYON (MAN OF THE MATCH) says that he is very happy with his performance. Feels that the bowling unit did well overall too. Appreciates his spin partner Zampa's skills. Says that he believes in sticking to his off break than trying too many things. Feels that the track is a good one for him and hopes that his team can continue the performance against SA.
STEVEN SMITH feels that his side could have been more clinical with the bat but is happy to win with the bonus point. Hopes that his side can build on this momentum in the coming games too. Lauds his spinners for the stellar performance today. Praises Warner for the matured knock. Says that playing SA will be a challenge and feels that whichever team plays spin better will win. Doesn't feel that lack of practice games is a factor due to the packed international schedule.
JASON HOLDER admits that they didn't bat well at all and says that they were well short with the score. Bemoans the lack of partnerships that hurt the WI and accepts the number of soft dismissals. Agrees that the batting has to improve drastically. Says that he is happy with the bowling performances in both the matches so far.
With a very low total on the board, WI started with spin from the word go through their ace bowler Narine who took a couple of wickets. Benn and Holder took a scalp apiece too but the Windies never had enough runs on the board. The wickets of Khawaja, Smith and Maxwell in a cluster might have given the hosts some hope but there wasn't enough scoreboard pressure on Australia at any point. Early on in the day, a superb bowling performance from Australia, particularly the spinners, saw them demolish WI for a paltry total. Overall, a perfect start to the new season for the World Champions.
A crushing win for Australia. Chasing a low target of 117, the Aussies were anchored by David Warner who struck an unbeaten fifty to steer the chase home. Khawaja got a start but couldn't carry on and his wicket started a mini-collapse which saw 3 wickets falling for just 7 runs. However, Marsh held his nerve amidst some close calls to partner Warner as the Australians coasted home comfortably. The track was slow and turned appreciably to trouble the batsmen. It only goes to show what might have been had the Windies had a total of at least 175 on the board.

NOT OUT! Floats it up on a length outside off, Warner probably thought of a big hit over mid-wicket but adjusts to nudge it to backward point for a quick single. Good throw at the striker's end as Ramdin whips off the bails. The run out appeal is referred upstairs but Marsh had slid his bat in easily.

Some drama between overs. Nigel Llong was telling the West Indians that the previous ball was a no ball apparently because there were 6 fielders on the leg side. Some chat and the Windies' players aren't happy. The TV umpire communicates with Llong and eventually, things are sorted. It isn't a no ball.

NOT OUT! Tossed up outside off, another ripping off break spins sharply into Marsh to rap him on the pads. Huge lbw appeal but turned down. WI gamble with the review. Pitched outside line and the impact too was marginally outside off as otherwise it was hitting the stumps. So, Marsh survives a scare. This match is suddenly looking like a thrilling game although Australia should still win this with ease. How WI would have wished that they had another 60-70 runs on the board?
WI are reviewing an lbw appeal against Marsh.

Ooooohhh.... that was really close! Full on middle and off, straighter one this time, Marsh just manages to get an inside edge before he gets rapped on the pads. A few nerves in the middle now for the Aussies. They're still firmly in control but they'll feel their throats drying up a bit. 25 runs needed to win for them off 30 overs.

Sunil Narine To Glenn Maxwell OUT!
OUT! NARINE STRIKES AGAIN! Oh, what's going on here? Loopy and fuller around off, once again there's some heavy turn on that as Maxwell presses forward to defend it. The ball goes through the big gap between bat and pad and knocks the timber. Maxwell is gone and that's another wicket down for Australia. Things are getting interesting here now.

There are huge appeals for an LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Smith is gone but it's surprising he didn't take the review. Seemed like the ball would miss the leg stump.

We are back. Khawaja and Warner will continue the chase while Narine will start off after dinner.
So Australia won't mind this 10-over period at all. They started off positively when Finch and Warner got going. David Warner looked more dangerous as usual as the southpaw smashed 26 runs off just 19 balls in this short period. Finch was out LBW off the West Indian captain Holder. Since then Khawaja has joined him and looked pretty relaxed as well. Australia just need 63 more runs to win. West Indies need wickets else the Aussies will chase it down with a bonus point. Join us back shortly after the break.
