Australia vs West Indies Highlights, World Cup 2019: Australia beat West Indies by 15 runs

SCORECARD | BLOG | WORLD CUP SCHEDULE
Nathan Coulter-Nile, Man of the Match: "No. I did not think I would get that much. I remember Smith being on 81 and me not hanging around in a practice game, so I thought I would stuck around a little bit. Played a pull shot second ball and it went up, luck went my way - couple dropped safely and inside edged a few. That's the way cricket goes.We back ourselves, we got two world class bowlers and Zamps. We back ourselves to defend anything. I felt it quite hard - the wicket was a bit up and down but settled in and got used to it. They were on the way before Starcy picked 2-3, good move by Finch to bring him on then. He is a fantastic bowler and credit goes to him."

* West Indies have their chances in the chase, but some soft dismissals in the second half cost the game. Chasing a competitive 289-run target, Windies were stopped at 273/9 by the Australian attack led by Mitchell Starc. Starc returned figures of 5 for 46, first fifer of this World Cup, and was well supported by fellow new-ball bowler Pat Cummins, who returned figures of 2/41 in a spell which included three maiden overs. Australia jumped to second in the standings after registering their 10 straight wins in ODIs.

I think you are never in with that short ball. Hope so, we have enough runs on the board. We have given ourselves a chance. Awesome innings by Steve Smith."

After winning the toss Jason Holder said, "We will field first. It is a good wicket and we are hoping for some early wickets. We want to be disciplined in both the departments. We want to continue to play some good cricket. I think it is going to be a good surface. We just have to be aggressive. We have made one change in our team, Evin Lewis comes in and Darren Bravo misses out."
Aaron Finch said, "I wanted to bat first anyway on this wicket. It looks dry and hopefully it will assist spinners late in the game. Confidence in the camp has made a difference and we have stepped up our game in crucial moments. Teams have totally changed so history doesn't matter much. We are playing with the same side."
