Australia vs West Indies Live Cricket Score, 1st T20I: David Warner returns, Australia field

Australia vs West Indies 1st T20I Live: Australia put West Indies in to bat in the first T20I and immediately reaped benefits with the wicket of Johnson Charles. The Windies opener became Josh Hazlewood’s 50th T20I scalp.

Australia are set to take on West Indies in a two-match T20I series ahead of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 which gets underway later this month. The first of the two games will take place at Metricon Stadium in Carrara on Wednesday (5 October).

T20 World Champions Australia are coming off the back of a 1-2 series loss to India last month and the Aaron Finch-led side will like to get back to winning ways against the Windies to gain momentum and confidence ahead of the extravaganza.

The hosts will be boosted by the return of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Mitchell Starc. However, all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been ruled out of the series after failing to recover from a side strain that he picked up last month.

West Indies also failed to make a mark in their last T20I series. They were beaten 2-1 by New Zealand. Under the leadership of Nicholas Pooran, Windies will be aiming to do well and gain some momentum for the T20 World Cup Qualifiers.
