Mitchell Starc’s velocity too hot to handle for West Indies

Led by David Warner’s 41-ball 75 and Mitchell Starc’s 4-fer, Australia pocketed a facile 31-run win over West Indies at the Gabba. Wickets continued to tumble at regular intervals in the West Indian innings, with Mitchell Starc being the wrecker-in-chief. A brief assault by Akeal Hosein on Adam Zampa in the 16th over didn’t prove enough as West indies were limited to 147 for 8 in a 179-run chase.

Brief Scores: Australia 178/7 in 20 overs (David Warner 75, Tim David 42; Alzarri Joseph 3-21) beat West Indies 147/8 in 20 overs (Johnson Charles 29, Akeal Hosein 25; Mitchell Starc 4-20) by 31 runs
