WI VS AUSTRALIA

Owen's dream debut sets up winning start for Australia, Mitchell Owen, Cameron Green fifties put in Australia 1-0 up




Dream debut for Mitchell Owen with bat and ball alongside a stunning half-century from Cameron Green guided Australia to a three-wicket win over West Indies after a masterful death bowling display.

The 23-year-old scored a rapid 50 and claimed a key wicket, helping Australia chase down the target with seven balls to spare.

Earlier, Dwarshuis took 4 for 36 including three in an over, as he and Ellis combined to take four wickets for just seven runs in the last 16 balls of West Indies innings to restrict them to 189 for 8 after half-centuries from Roston Chase and Shai Hope had threatened to set-up a huge total. Chase made 60 off 32 at No.3 while Hope made 55 from 39. Shimron Hetmyer also clubbed 38 from 19 but West Indies' lower-order combined for 11 between them as they lost 6 for 30 in the final five overs.

Dwarshuis started a West Indies collapse as Chase holed out to long-on trying to clear the rope again. Hope slowed down significantly before Owen made his first impact in T20I cricket with the ball, forcing a miscue from Hope with a wide slower ball.



Australia looked in all sorts of trouble when Josh Inglis top-edged Akeal Hosein to short fine and Glenn Maxwell skied Motie straight up to end an indifferent innings of 11 off 10.


Pounding Joseph into the stands to reach 50 off 26 but he too fell next ball trying to go again with Australia still needing 15 off 21. But Connolly, Dwarshuis and Abbott did just enough to steer the visitors home, but not without help from West Indies' fielders. Substitute fielder Jewel Andrew dropped Abbott at fine leg off Holder with seven to win.

Australia 190 for 7 (Green 51, Owen 50, Motie 2-29, Holder 2-32, A Joseph 2-39) beat West Indies (Chase 60, Hope 55, Dwarshuis 4-36) by three wickets


mixing three monstrous sixes with seven dots in the powerplay before he got a thin edge to the extra pace of Alzarri Joseph. Green fought fire with fire. He got away with a top edge that flew for six over fine third before being pinned on the shoulder.
