West Indies vs Australia Full Scorecard

Holder comes from around-the-wicket angle and fires it fuller, on the pads, Mitchell Owen gets inside the line to whip it over square leg, but misses and wears on the front pad.

Angles across the batter, does Holder, full and outside off. Mitchell Owen carves it over point for a single as the man patrolling in the deep collects on the bounce.

FOUR! DISMISSED! Back of a length, angling around off. Cameron Green gets the ball at a comfortable height and flat-bats it straight down the ground for a cracking boundary.

SIX! Clears the ropes with ease and at will! Short of a good length, on off, Cameron Green stays in the crease and pulls it over cow corner for a flat six. That was hit with sheer brute force from the towering Green. 

Full and on the stumps, Green flicks it to the right of long on for a single. 12 off the over so far. Can Holder finish it well?

FOUR BYES! Oh, dear! Freebies for Australia, and they won't mind one bit! Hammered halfway onto the pitch by Holder, on off. Mitchell Owen shapes to pull it away over the leg side, but misses, and the ball just takes off and beats the leaping Shai Hope to race behind to the fence. The target trims for Australia further as they need 42 off the last 6 overs.

Flat and full, on middle, pushed back to the bowler.

NOT OUT! Owen can breathe a sigh of relief after a few anxious moments of waiting. Keeps the line of attack on the stumps, does Motie and lands it full, Green looks to flick, but ends up chipping it off the leading edge and the ball dips in front of the bowler. Motie bends low, drags both his hands towards the ball, and it smashes behind into the stumps at the non-striker's end. Mitchell Owen, who takes a load up for the run, realises it sooner and tries to drag his bat back inside the crease. Now, the question is whether the ball flicked off the fingers of Motie before disturbing the stumps. The decision is sent to the third umpire. A nervous wait continues as there's no conclusive evidence for that. UltraEdge takes a bit of time to load up. But by the looks of the side-on replay, Owen is definitely short of his crease when the ball hits the stumps. Okay, finally, the technology shows a flat line and Owen stays.

Spins away from off, on a length, steered off the back foot to cover.

SIX! Tremendous hitting and Green moves to 47! Pitched fuller and on off and middle, Cameron Green gets his bat under the ball properly and lofts it over the bowler's head for a six downtown.

FOUR! FOURTH T20I FIFTY FOR CAMERON GREEN! Full and sliding on the leg stump, Green gets down on his knee and slog-sweeps it to the right of deep mid-wicket for a boundary. He has played a gem of a knock so far for his team and would look to finish the job now.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! A fifty and out for Green, but he has ensured that his side stays alive in the chase! Gudakesh Motie gets his second wicket. He lands it a yard behind fuller length, gets a good grip as the ball turns away off the deck. Cameron Green goes deep in the crease and tries to play the pull shot, but due to that extra bounce, he ends up losing his shape and slices it high up in the air towards long on. Jason Holder patrolling the boundary in the deep, settles under the skier and takes a fine catch. Cameron Green departs for 51 off just 26 balls, and Australia are 158/5, needing 32 off the last 5 overs.

Darts in a low full toss, on the pads, Owen whips it to deep mid-wicket for one.

A bit short and quicker, just outside off, Cooper Connolly slices it off the back foot in the gap between backward point and short third and registers two runs to his name.

Nagging length and around off, Cooper punches it through covers for one.

Another full toss, around middle and leg, Owen takes a step forward and chips it aerillay to long on for one, who collects it on the bounce.

Dragged back length and around off, Cooper cuts it but straight to backward point.

SIX! SMACKED! Tossed it up and around off, Cooper Connolly goes on his knees and smokes it downtown over the bowler's head for a biggie.

Alzarri darts in full and wide of off, seeing Owen backing away. Mitchell has to adjust shot but only manages to miscue it off the toe end of the bat back to the bowler.

SIX! FIFTY FOR OWEN! His maiden T20I half-century in his debut game. And as per Ian Bishop on-air, Owen becomes the third Australian batter to score a half century on his T20I debut. A bit fuller and around off, Owen clears out his front leg away and thumps it straight down the ground over the bowler's head for a biggie to bring his milestone. A proud moment for Owen. He is all smiles and raises his bat, soaking in all the applause from the crowd and his family, proudly cheering for him from the stands.

OUT! CAUGHT! Fifty and out, second time for an Aussie batter! On a dragged back length and around middle and leg, it seems to be a slower one. Mitchell Owen clears out his front leg again and tries to replicate that previous shot. But he gets deceived by the lack of pace on it and ends up chipping it aerially towards long on, where Jason Holder runs forward, locks his eyes on the ball, settles under it, and takes it low around his waist height. Mitchell Owen, on his T20I debut, departs for a pivotal 50 (27). Australia are 175/6, needing 15 more runs.

Back of a length and down leg, Ben Dwarshuis gets cramped up for room but manages to pull it to deep mid-wicket for one.

BEATEN! Hard length and angling away, outside off, Cooper Connolly goes to cut it off the back foot but gets beaten on the outside edge.

FOUR! Good shot! Alzarri rolls his fingers on the ball and bowls it on the hard length, around off, Cooper Connolly swivels on his toes and reads the slowness of the ball before pulling it down to deep square leg for a boundary. Australia need just 10 now in the last three overs.

Short of a length and outside off, Ben Dwarshuis rises with the bounce and cuts it down to deep point for one more.

Full and wide outside off, Cooper Connolly goes across and leaves it in, hoping to get a wide but the umpire calls it a legal ball as it is inside the tramline.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! West Indies keep fighting hard as Australia lose their seventh and Cooper Connolly is gone! A slower delivery, back of a length and wide outside off, Cooper shuffles across and looks to slash at it without any foot movement. The ball gets big on him due to an extra bounce and he only manages to get an outside edge that goes behind the wickets, where the keeper Shai Hope takes a simple catch to his left. Australia are 181/7, needing just 9 runs.

Full and outside off, seems to be another slower one, Sean swings hard at it but gets an outside edge that rolls away to deep third. A single taken.

Lands it full and outside off, Ben comes forward and drives it through covers for one more.

DROPPED! Oh my goodness, has Jewel Andrew dropped the match here? A slower delivery, back of a length and around off, Sean Abbott presses back and goes to pull it, but the ball gets big on him and he mistimes his shot due to the lack of pace on it too. The ball goes in the air towards deep backward square leg, where the substitute fielder, Jewel Andrew, moves to his left a bit and tries to take it with reverse-cup around his chest height. Gets into an awkward position, and the ball pops out off his hands. It rolls away beside him, and the batters take two runs, seeing an opportunity. Holder can't believe his luck as a simple chance has been put down.

Back of a length and around off, Ben Dwarshuis backs away and cuts it towards deep backward point for one. Sean wants another and sets off but is sent back by Ben. 

Hammers it short and outside off, Abbott works it through mid on for a single.

Skids through the surface, short of a good length, on the bodyline. Dwarshuis is cramped up for space and tries to pull, but wears the body, and the ball rolls to backward point. They cross for a leg bye. 

SCORES ARE LEVEL! Back of a length, outside off, Abbott stays back and slashes it to deep backward point for a single.

Australia win by 3 wickets and they go up by 1-0 in this 5-match T20I series! Short-pitched, down leg, Ben Dwarshuis gets cramped up for room but manages to pull it down to deep square leg for one to seal the deal for his team.
