WI vs AUS Live Cricket Score

2 OUT! TAKEN! A soft dismissal! Xavier Bartlett strikes big for Australia in his first game of the series with the wicket of the in-form Brandon King! It is bowled into the surface, on middle, King waits back to nurdle it on the leg side. The ball stops on Brandon and he ends up spooning it tamely towards mid-wicket, where Aaron Hardie gets low and takes it at shin height. 23/1

3.1 OUT! CAUGHT! What a difference Xavier Bartlett is making already. First, Brandon King and now, Shai Hope, both Windies' openers back in the hut inside 4 overs. Bartlett bashes the hard length and tucks the batter up for room. Hope is unable to free his arms to get the pull shot away. He goes through with the shot and chips it towards mid on where Glenn Maxwell dives in front to snaffle it. Xavier is on a hat-trick as he took a wicket on the last ball of the previous over. 32/2

4.1 OUT! TAKEN! Simply superb from Glenn Maxwell! Nonchalantly done by Maxwell and Roston Chase departs for a duck. Hardie attacks the stumps with a length ball, Chase presents a straight bat and swings through to go over mid on. Fails to get the desired elevation on it and Maxwell moves to his left on the edge of the ring. Leaps and sticks out his right hand to pluck the ball out of thin air. 42/3

6.5 SIX AND OUT! Adam Zampa gets his man! Bowls it full and quick outside off. Sherfane Rutherford looks to drive but ends up slicing toward the backward point fielder, Mitchell Marsh, who takes a simple catch. A handy cameo from Sherfane Rutherford ends early tonight. West Indies are four down and in some trouble now. 67/4

11.1 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Aaron Hardie strikes on his return to the attack! This is on a good length, around the off stump, Rovman Powell stays deep in the crease and has a heave across the line. Powell is hitting into the wind and the bat turns at the point of impact. Ends up dragging it off the bottom half of the bat and it goes up towards deep square leg. The substitute fielder, Jake Fraser-McGurk gets across to his left in the deep and takes a safe catch. A massive dent to West Indies as the promising-looking Powell falls. 119/6

9.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Sean Abbott strikes! Pitched full, around off. Shimron Hetmyer looks to heave it across the line but gets the outside edge that flies toward the deep backward point region. Mitchell Owen comes running in toward the ball and takes a sharp low catch to send Hetmyer back into the pavilion. West Indies have lost half of their side now before the halfway mark. 110/5

14.2 OUT! CAUGHT! WOW! Extraordinary athleticism by Glenn Maxwell! Dragged down by Zampa, this sits up to be hit at thigh height, around off, Romario Shepherd gets low to make the connection and pumps it with a flat bat. Hits it flat towards long on where Maxwell moves to his left and leaps. The power of the shot takes him beyond the ropes but before going over, he releases the ball. Flicks it towards the converging Cameron Green from long off to his left, who takes a dolly. 153/7

18.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Adam Zampa gets his third! Short and on the middle and leg stump line. Jason Holder looks to pull it away but gets the inside edge onto the back thigh and the ball clatters back onto the stumps. West Indies are nine down and in danger of not playing their overs. 194/9

16.4 OUT! TAKEN! Soft dismissal for Matthew Forde! Slower and shorter on off. Matthew Forde gets on top of the bounce and mistimes the pull toward short mid-wicket, where Cameron Green takes a simple catch. Another one bites the dust for the home side. 184/8

0.2 OUT! LBW! Maiden T20I wicket for Jediah Blades and it's the big one of Mitchell Marsh. Keeps it on a length, on the middle, and leg. Mitchell Marsh looks to play across the line and misses. He is pinned in front, and the umpire had no hesitation in raising the finger this time. Marsh decides against the review and Australia suffer an early blow. Well, well, well, the Ball Tracking is in and it shows that the ball pitched outside the line. 0/1

10.1 OUT! TAKEN! An ideal start for West Indies after the break! Akeal bowls it on the shorter side but keeps it away from the batter's arc. Maxwell is made to reach out and he ends up dragging it with a flat bat. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of long on where Jason Holder takes a few steps in and takes it around his thigh. This is the first time Hosein has dismissed Maxwell in T20 cricket. Glenn departs for 47 (18). Australia are now 129/3, needing 77 from 59. 129/3

6.1 OUT! TAKEN! Romario Shepherd gets the in-form Inglis! Bowls a low full toss on the pad. Inglis flicks it straight to Sherfane Rutherford at the deep backward square leg boundary, who takes a sharp catch. A much needed wicket for the hosts as Inglis departs after a quick-fire fifty. 66/2

11.2 OUT! CAUGHT! One brings two for West Indies! Jediah Blades has his second wicket of the night. This slides across the batter, on a good length, Mitchell Owen frees his arms to carve it away on the off side. Ends up slicing it and picks out the man in the deep to absolute perfection. Sherfane Rutherford at deep point does not have to move an inch and he takes it close to his chest. Australia are now 134/4, needing 72 runs in 52 balls. 134/4

11.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal and Jediah Blades has two in the over! Pace is taken off by Blades, on a good length, on off, Cooper hangs back and sets up to hit this one on the rise. The ball stops on him and he is through with his shot early. Spoons it straight to mid off where Jason Holder does the rest. A two-ball duck for Connolly. From 129/2, Australia have slipped to 134/5, needing 72 runs in 50 balls. 134/5

16.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Aaron Hardie holes out! He will be disappointed with himself as this was there to be put away. Full toss from around the wicket, outside off, Hardie looks to clear mid off but the bat turns in his hand. Shimron Hetmyer there backpedals and takes a safe catch. Is there a late twist here? 185/6

18.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Always an unfortunate way to get out like this! Full toss, at the stumps, Green picks the bones out of it and thumps it back towards the stumps at the bowling end. On his follow-through, Romario Shepherd sticks out his left hand and the ball clips him around the left thumb. It goes back onto the stumps. The third umpire is called in and the touch is confirmed. Xavier Bartlett is well short while backing up. 203/7
