Milestone
So, that is it from me, Karthik Raj and my co-commentators, Aryasekhar Chakraborty and Arijit Kundu. Do stay tuned to OneCricket's live coverage of a lot more cricket matches.
Nicholas Pooran: What a game. First game as captain, wasn't expecting it. We didn't get as much as we wanted. We asked the guys for energy and that's what we got. After the first two overs, we wanted to assess and it's tough to go with proper momentum. Russ coming and finishing off, what better than that today. Can't give them (bowlers) enough credit. They (Australia) came out firing, but we asked the bowlers to attack and keep asking questions.
Aaron Finch: "I thought our bowlers did a fantastic job particularly in the Powerplay. Anytime you lose 6 for 19, you're gonna struggle to win a T20 game. So we just needed somebody to take it upon themselves and get right through to the end. I think we needed under 4 an over for the majority of that last bit, so very disappointing. After the position that Marsh and Wade got us into, just a bit of game smarts would have got us over the line there but sort of panicked a little bit. We've been working on trying to be a little more aggressive in the middle overs but maybe just need to rein it in today and have some more smarts. I thought the wicket played a little better batting second. There's no excuses for our batting display there. You've got to dust yourselves off and come again with the same attitude but just execute a little bit better under pressure."
McCoy: "It feels great. I've been working really hard. It was just all about execution and sticking to the team plan. Normally on that surface the ball has nice bounce and carry but I was just trying to mix up my pace as much as I can. I noticed the spinners were getting a bit of turn so I thought my slower balls would grip. We were confident and knew we had the bowling to back it and just knew we had to go out and fight hard."
Obed McCoy has been named as the 'Player of the Match'.
Time for the Post-match Presentation
However, Mitchell Marsh reached his first-ever T20I fifty in the 12th over. Until, Marsh was there in the middle, Australia remained the favourites but Hayden Walsh got his prized scalp in the very next over. Left-arm seamer Obed McCoy took a splendid return catch to send back Ashton Agar while Hayden Walsh came back to dismiss Daniel Christian as Australia slipped to 125-8. McCoy didn't take much time to finish off the job as he got the final two wickets to bowl Australia out for 127.
Wade got stuck into Fidel Edwards and raced onto 33 off 14 balls before getting out off Andre Russell's bowling in the 4th over. A couple of overs later, Josh Philippe became Obed McCoy's first wicket but Moises Henriques struck a couple of sixes in the same over. Henriques had a quick-fire 36-run partnership with Mitchell Marsh but Allen came back to remove his wicket. Thereafter, Australia started to collapse as Ben McDermott also fell after making just two runs.
Obed McCoy has sealed a stunning comeback from the West Indies!! At the half-way mark, no one would have believed that Australia would lose but they have done exactly that by a margin of 18 runs. McCoy ends with four scalps to continue his fantastic run in the format but Australia will have a lot of soul searching to do after this unexplainable collapse. Fabian Allen dismissed the Aussie skipper Aaron Finch early on but Matthew Wade got off to a rapid start.
