Batting: West Indies
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5 | FOUR | Starc to Kieran Powell, FOUR, lovely drive. Not easy against this swing but he has done it superbly, fuller length and outside off, Powell gets to the pitch of it and plays a perfect off drive between extra cover and mid off | 10/0 |
| 4.3 | FOUR | Clint McKay to Gayle, FOUR, it didn't look like he timed it well! Short delivery on off, Gayle jumps back and pulls it, didn't hit it too hard but placed it wide of mid wicket, the outfield did the rest | 14/0 |
| 4.5 | OUT | Clint McKay to Gayle, out Caught by Finch!! Superb catch that! An absolute beauty from Finch. The extra bounce does the trick - pitches back of a length and bounces much more than Gayle expects it to, he looks to play and then tries to take his bottom hand off but it's too late, the ball takes the edge and flies towards the slip cordon, it would have been a simple catch for first slip but Finch dives to his right from second slip and takes a beauty. Big wicket. Gayle c Finch b Clint McKay 4(13) [4s-1] | 14/1 |
| 5.1 | FOUR | Starc to Kieran Powell, FOUR, meanwhile, Powell is playing some superb drives. Once again overpitched, Powell leans and drives it through extra cover, beautiful to watch | 18/1 |
| 5.2 | OUT | Starc to Kieran Powell, out Caught by Michael Clarke!! And first slip takes a simple catch. Perfect outswinger - full and swinging away from off stump, Powell looks to defend but gets a thick edge that goes straight to Clarke. West Indies have lost their openers. Kieran Powell c Michael Clarke b Starc 11(18) [4s-2] | 18/2 |
| 5.5 | OUT | Starc to Sarwan, out Bowled!! What a delivery! Too good for Sarwan and he goes for a duck in his comeback match. Full delivery starts from off and swings in rapidly, Sarwan does not move his feet and plays all around it, the ball finds its way through to the stumps. West Indies are in deep trouble. Sarwan b Starc 0(3) | 19/3 |
| 7.1 | OUT | Starc to Dwayne Bravo, out Caught by Hughes!! Credit to Starc and Michael Clarke for that wicket! They had a man at short leg for Dwayne Bravo and he comes in action immediately. Full and swinging in again, Bravo looks to defend but gets a thick inside edge which goes off the pads to short leg, sharp catch as well and West Indies are in disarray. Dwayne Bravo c Hughes b Starc 0(2) | 19/4 |
| 7.2 | OTHER | Starc to Pollard, no run, Pollard survives. Not by a big margin though! Full, fast and curving in, Pollard is too late on the shot and misses, the ball was hitting leg but DRS says 'umpire's call' | 19/4 |
| 7.3 | OUT | Starc to Pollard, out Bowled!! Whoa, why waste reviews when you can get them out like this? Starc is ripping in the in-swingers today - another fast and full delivery shaping in from outside off, Pollard looks to drive but goes half heartedly, gets a thick inside edge onto the stumps. I would like to remind you that West Indies opted to bat first. Pollard b Starc 0(2) | 19/5 |
| 9.1 | FOUR | Starc to Darren Bravo, FOUR, nicely played. Width on offer, Bravo reaches out and drives it to the sweeper cover fence | 26/5 |
| 10.5 | OUT | Faulkner to Devon Thomas, out Caught by Michael Clarke!! Faulkner gets a wicket in the first over of his ODI career. This is the defition of catch practice. Back of length and just outside off, Thomas opens the face of the bat and guides it straight to 1st slip. Easiest of catches for Clarke and the 6th wicket falls. Devon Thomas c Michael Clarke b Faulkner 3(11) | 28/6 |
| 11.4 | FOUR | Starc to Darren Bravo, byes, FOUR, the bounce! A bouncer but it just keeps gaining height, Wade tries to jump and stop it but cannot get to it | 35/6 |
| 12.5 | OUT | Faulkner to Darren Bravo, out Caught by Michael Clarke!! Another catch in the slip cordon! That's Clarke's 3rd catch. Length delivery just outside off, Bravo is rooted to the crease and looks to defend but the thick edge flies straight to second slip. 7th wicket down and this is going to finish early. Darren Bravo c Michael Clarke b Faulkner 11(25) [4s-1] | 39/7 |
| 18.5 | FOUR | Faulkner to Sammy, FOUR, more runs for Sammy, fuller length and outside off, Sammy reaches out and drives it through the vacant cover region for a boundary | 55/7 |
| 19.3 | FOUR | Mitchell Johnson to Sammy, byes, FOUR, goes through everyone! The bounce is creating problems for Sammy and Wade. Short delivery, Sammy looks to hook and misses, Wade jumps but cannot get there | 60/7 |
| 19.5 | FOUR | Mitchell Johnson to Sammy, FOUR, Sammy! He is taking on Mitchell Johnson here. Full and straight, Sammy comes down the track and smashes it hard down to long off | 64/7 |
| 20.1 | OUT | Clint McKay to Sammy, out Caught by George Bailey!! Sammy's resistance ends. McKay strikes in the first ball of his new spell. Back of length delivery on the middle and leg, Sammy looks to work it across but gets a thick leading edge which pops up to the on side, McKay goes for it but slips in the middle of the pitch, Bailey runs in from mid wicket and takes a simple catch. Sammy c George Bailey b Clint McKay 16(37) [4s-2] | 65/8 |
| 23 | OUT | Clint McKay to Narine, out Caught by Wade!! And what a finish to the over! Narine finally connects but he only manages an edge. Back of length and close to the off stump, Narine looks to defend off the backfoot but gets a thick edge to the keeper. He was beaten 5 times in this over before finally being dismissed. Narine c Wade b Clint McKay 0(11) | 68/9 |
| 23.5 | OUT | Starc to J Holder, out Bowled!! Leg stump uprooted and that's Starc's 5th wicket! Best figures in ODIs for this talented pacer. Fast and on the leg stump line, Holder slogs across and misses, the leg stump goes for a walk. J Holder b Starc 7(19) | 70/10 |
Batting: Australia
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.1 | FOUR | Roach to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, that's a good start for Glenn Maxwell. Short ball on the off, Maxwell jumps back and slashes it to deep extra cover for a boundary | 4/0 |
| 0.3 | FOUR | Roach to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, Maxwell on the attack. This one if full and outside off again, Maxwell goes hard at it and drives it away to deep extra cover, 2 boundaries already | 8/0 |
| 0.4 | FOUR | Roach to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, Maxwell want to finish it off early. Full delivery again, Maxwell comes down the track and smashes it between extra cover and mid off | 12/0 |
| 0.5 | SIX | Roach to Glenn Maxwell, SIX, Maxwell! He's making use of the opportunity. This was a proper slog! In the slot, Maxwell shuffles and moves away, goes hard at it with a flat bat and smashes it way over long on! | 18/0 |
| 2.3 | FOUR | Roach to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, Maxwell continues to slog. Short ball on the body, Maxwell swivels and heaves, gets a thick top edge to fine leg, just falls once before the ropes | 26/0 |
| 2.4 | SIX | Roach to Glenn Maxwell, SIX, that's dropped! In the crowd. A good attempt though as Maxwell had absolutely blasted this. It was full and on the off, Maxwell makes room and hammers it flat over long off, the gentleman there catches it initially but the ball pops out at the last minute. Good try! | 32/0 |
| 3.1 | FOUR | J Holder to Finch, FOUR, banged in short again, Finch reaches out and swats it over cover, Finch has joined the fun as well | 37/0 |
| 3.3 | OUT | J Holder to Finch, out Caught by Devon Thomas!! Maiden ODI wicket for Holder. Something to cheer about for the West Indies. Short and wide delivery, Finch looks to cut, there was a noise as the ball went past the bat and that has prompted the umpire to rule it in the bowler's favour. Finch is not happy though as he walks off. Finch c Devon Thomas b J Holder 10(6) [4s-1] | 39/1 |
| 4.1 | FOUR | Narine to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, that's a reverse sweep to deep extra cover! Maxwell is showing some T20 skills. Gets into position quickly, picks it up from leg stump and reverse sweeps it to the fence | 43/1 |
| 5 | DROPPED | Narine to Khawaja, no run, is that a drop? An off spinner, Khawaja looks to defend and misses, Devon Thomas misses it too. Not sure if it took the edge. Replays in: yes, it was a drop. That went off the glove | 44/1 |
| 6.1 | FOUR | Narine to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, smashed! Flat delivery on the off, Maxwell heaves across the line and hits it to deep mid wicket | 51/1 |
| 6.4 | FOUR | Narine to Khawaja, FOUR, Khawaja joins the party. Short and wide outside off, Khawaja backs away and cuts it away to deep backward point for a boundary | 56/1 |
| 7.4 | FOUR | J Holder to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, that's a tennis style shot! Comes down the track to a short ball and slaps it with a flat bat over deep extra cover, bounces a couple of times before reaching the fence | 60/1 |
| 8.3 | FOUR | Narine to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, flighted delivery outside off, Maxwell goes over cover and gets another boundary, just a couple of bounces before it rolls to the deep extra cover fence | 65/1 |
| 8.4 | FOUR | Narine to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR, FIFTY for Glenn Maxwell. An entertaining knock this. Flat and short outside off, Maxwell stays back and slaps it wide of backward point, scores level | 70/1 |
