West Indies’ batting attack, led by Russell, showcased an impressive batting display, with contributions from players like Roston Chase (37) and Sherfane Rutherford (67*) respectively. This grandiose performance from West Indies gave Australian bowlers a period of harrowing moments.

Still, Australia's chase couldn’t be successful with players like Mitchell Marsh (17), Aaron Hardie (16) and Josh Inglis (1) losing their wickets for low scores, putting the team in jeopardy.
