Earlier in the match, West Indian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kraigg-Brathwaite-c71708, won the toss and without wasting a second, pronounced to bat first. It seemed to be a good choice, as the previous two matches had been won by teams batting first.
Brathwaite also opened the innings for the Caribbean side along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Campbell-c67489. The skipper failed to inspire his side and was the first man to be dismissed at a score of seven. Taylor Scott took his wicket.
Kwame Crosse came in at number three. The partnership between Crosse and Campbell did not last very long and the opening batsman was back in the pavilion scoring 13 runs from 23 balls. He was first of McMahon wickets.
Anthony Alleyne got out on the very first delivery that he faced from McMahon. At this stage, the Caribbean side was struggling at 19 for the loss of three wickets. Hodge and Crosse steadied the innings by adding 40 runs for the fourth wicket.
Mayers came out to bat at the demise of Crosse. He looked impressive from the start. It was evident from his approach that he wants to play a big innings and that he did. The left-hander was keen on rotating the strike and also scored an odd boundary whenever
any opportunity came his way.
Wickets kept falling at the other end but the man of the match continued to play his natural cricket. He helped his side reach a competitive total of 229 from their quota of 50 overs.
Their opponents started off nicely with the opening pair amassing 64 runs. The turning point of the Australian innings was probably the two wickets that they lost on two consecutive deliveries thus from a settled position of 93 for two they slipped to 93
for the loss of four wickets. Despite heroic efforts from the remaining batsmen, Australia managed to score only 211.
