Australia have won the toss and have opted to field

Mitch Marsh:
We are gonna bowl first. It is another opportunity representing your country, everyone wants to be consistent with the process. The most pleasing thing is the clarity under pressure. We got 2 changes. Tim David and Dwarshuis come in for Bartlett and Connolly.

Shai Hope:
: We just got to try and win the last one, take the learnings from the 4 games. Executing in all three areas need to be better and play our best game today. The guys are raring to go and win the last game. Keacy Carty comes in for injured Rovman Powell and Alzarri Joseph comes in for Roston Chase.

Pitch report:
65 metres on one side and 61 metres on the other side. 68 metres down the ground. We are playing on the same surface as the previous 2 games. There is no grass, it is a flat wicket. Using the angles will be the key here" reckons Daren Ganga.

dropped by maxwell
2.1
Hardie to Brandon King, no run, dropped! It's Maxwell of all people. Short and skiddy outside off, King drags the pull off the toe end and chips it straight to mid-on where Maxi puts down a dolly. Got both hands, but perhaps lost his footing and slipped at the last moment...

Gawn !!!!!!!
3.1
Dwarshuis to Brandon King, out Caught by Tim David!! No dropping this time around. Short and wide of off stump, no feet from King as he tried to drag the pull on the leg-side. Skews it off the toe end of the bat and picks out the fielder at mid-wicket moving to his left. Both Windies openers gone quite cheaply.

Hardie to Rutherford, FOUR, stand and deliver. 131ks length ball sits up outside off, Rutherford is all hands as he flays it over cover, beating the diving fielder in the deep to his left...

Hardie to Keacy Carty, out Caught by Maxwell!! No mistake from Maxwell this time around. Keacy Carty's scratchy stay comes to an end. He looks to tonk this down the ground, but there wasn't any room on offer. Tried to pick it off his pads and ended up skewing the ball into the air off the thick inside half. Maxwell, from mid-on, runs back to his right and completes the catch with ease.
