Australia win! Half-centuries to Warner and Marsh got Australia home with 22 balls to spare #T20WorldCup

After being put into the bat, West Indies had a shaky start as they were reduced to 35/3 in the fourth over. However, handy cameos from Evin Lewis (29 off 26), Shimron Hetmyer (27 off 28) and skipper Kieron Pollard (44 off 31) has helped them post a competitive total of 157/7. Josh Hazlewood was the pick of the bowler for the Aussies as he returned with an impressive figure of 4-39 in his quota of four overs.

Two sixes to finish the innings! Time to have a bowl! #AUSvWI #MissionMaroon #T20WorldCup

Coming to chase, Australia faced an early blow when Akeal Hosein removed skipper Aaron Finch cheaply in the third over. However, David Warner and Mitch Marsh then accounted for a 100 runs partnership and the chase became a cakewalk for the Aussies side.

David Warner returned unbeaten on 89 off 56 deliveries while Mitch Marsh scored 53 off 52 deliveries before being dismissed by Chris Gayle.
