Since Australia won the toss, they chose to bowl first against the West Indies. This will be a crucial encounter for both teams; if Australia wins, they will be able to advance to the semi-finals; if the West Indies, the defending champions, win, they will meet the criteria to qualify for the next World Cup season.
West Indies made a good start but were unfortunate to lose three wickets in a succession in the power play. Pat Cummins made a significant breakthrough for Australia by dismissing Chris Gayle 15 (9), while Josh Hazlewood picked a couple of wickets in the form of Nicholas Pooran 4 (4) & Roston Chase for a DUCK on facing 2 deliveries.
West Indies Innings 50-3 (6 Overs)
