The Match 10 of the ICC Cricket Men’s World Cup, 2019 happened on 6th of June, 2019 was between Australia and West Indies at Trent Bridge, Nottingham by 10:30 am the local time.
According to Cricket experts analyses, Trent Bridge’s wicket looked flat and the team who bats 1st can expect a punch to decline the opposition from the points table. Experts analysed the day was sunny but, the weather was quite cold which may help the bowlers in the later stages of the innings. In fact, both the teams have won their 1st match, this would be a sure battle for both the teams. It became some years to clash between the 2 teams, the last time was on 26th June 2016 at Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. The toss was won by the West Indian Captain Jason Holder who decided to field 1st which favoured the Australian skipper Aaron Finch, who favoured to bat 1st. But, Jason’s decision cannot be easily estimated. West Indies has made only one change as Evin Lewis comes in for the vast experienced Darren Bravo. Aaron Finch’s team did not have changes in the team as they go with the same strong side.
Captain Aaron Finch and world’s one of the best opening batsmen in current scenario David Warner walked in the middle with full confidence but, due to West Indies pacemen attack the top orders which includes Usman Khawaja were destructed. Then came the most skill full batsman in world cricket who is none other than the Australian former Captain Steven Smith, who tries to find some partnership on the other end which finally supported by the wicket-keeper batsman Alex Carley. At one stage the Aussies were 39 for 4 and 79 for 5, then the 68 runs stand for the 6th wicket bagged up by Steven Smith made the perfect foundation. Alex Carley with his sensible game and matured knock contributed 45 runs off 55 balls that includes 7 boundaries where Steve Smith made a 73 runs comeback off solid 103 balls which also includes 7 fours. After Alex Carley’s wicket, it was the bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile, who made an impact in the scoreboard. Steve who was partnered by his Aussie pace bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile carried a brilliant 100 partnership. As the 7th wicket partnership went on for 102 runs off 82 balls. Coulter-Nile who contributed an extraordinary 92 off 60 balls, registered his 1st half-century in both ODIs and World Cup cricket which is his highest individual score. He blasted 8 boundaries and 6 maximums in his 92. Though, the West Indian bowler started a counter-attack they fail to celebrate the wicket of Steven Smith, Alex Carley and Nathan Coulter-Nile who helped the Australian team to bounce back. Almost all the Windian bowlers contributed the wickets excepted the spinner, Ashley Nurse. Carlos Brathwaite who destructed 3 while, Oshane Thomas, Sheldon Cottrell and Andre Russell picket 2 wickets each whereas the Captain Jason Holder took 1 wicket of Marcus Stonis. Thus by bouncing back the Australians finally put up a total of 288 runs by losing all their 10 wickets in 49 overs.
The West Indies new opening pair of the tournament Evin Lewis and the “Universe Boss” Chris Gayle began to chase down the target in the middle but, the newcomer of this World Cup Even Lewis went for only 1 run. While the “Universe Boss” Gayle who successfully retained 2 reviews failed during 3rd attempt bowled by Mitchell Starc furious pace attack for 21 runs off 17 balls which includes 4 boundaries. Then came the world no.5 batsman Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran who both played extraordinarily well as the West Indian wicket-keeper batsman Shai Hope registered his 1st World Cup half-century and 11th in ODIs. The 23-year-old middle order Nicholas Pooran did support the team’s chase as, Pooran who only plays his 3rd One-day Internationals batted for a well made 40 off 36 deliveries. That was his highest individual score among the 3 innings he batted. His 40 includes 5 boundaries and a massive. The expected another middle order batsman Shimron Hetmyer was run out in just 21 runs off 28 where which 3 boundaries are included in it. Finally, the West Indian skipper came in the middle who was left alone in the end. The T20 hero Andre Russell gave the ball in the hands of Glenn Maxwell who took a brilliant catch to dismiss Russell for only 15 off 11 balls with 2 fours and a six included. Holder after reaching his 9th half-century was tempted to go with a leg-side bouncer bowled by Starc, which impacted to hit the white ball in the hands of Adam Zampa as he went for 51 off 57 with 7 fours and a six under his belt. The match all of a sudden turned towards the Aussie right after the West Indian skipper’s dismissal. As the pacer, Mitchell Starc who delivered the white ball so consistently with furious pace took his 1st 5 wicket-haul in WC. The Australian bowling attack was also accompanied by Pat Cummins 2 wickets and the spinner Adam Zampa’s 1 crucial wicket. During the West Indies losing stage, the team decided not to lose all their 10th wicket and to complete the entire 50 overs which might help them when calculating the net run rate.
