WI vs AUS in 1st ODI: Australia beat West Indies, Starc, Hazlewood & Carey shines

WI vs AUS 1st ODI LIVE: Alex Carey made a promising start to his first match as Australia captain as he top-scored with a neat half-century. For the West Indies Hayden Walsh Jr carried his T20 form into a return to the ODI set-up with a career-best five-wicket haul to keep the visitors to an underwhelming 252.

Carey and Ashton Turner added 104 in 19 overs for the fifth wicket but Walsh Jr, a late addition to the ODI squad, then took five wickets in the space if 16 deliveries. On a surface that did not always look especially easy to score freely on left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein had also did an excellent job with two wickets.

Earlier in the T20 Series, the Aaron Finch led Australian side suffered a massive 4-1 defeat in the T20I series by T20 World Cup defending champion West Indies ahead of the upcoming T20 WC. Australia’s regular captain Aaron Finch has been ruled out of the ODI series due to a knee injury.
