Choosing to bat first, West Indies were struggling at 17 for 3 as Johnson Charles, Kyle Mayers, and Nicholas Pooran were out. Roston Chase (37 runs off 20 balls) and captain Rovman Powell (21 runs off 14 balls) stabilized the innings with a vital partnership of 55 runs
Australia, newcomer Xavier Bartlett (2/37) performed well among the bowlers. Jason Behrendoff, Spencer Johnson, Aaron Hardie, and Adam Zampa each took one wicket
Australia began well with opener David Warner scoring a fifty in just 25 balls. However, as wickets kept falling, Warner's departure at 81 put pressure on the middle-order. Off-spinner Chase stood out, taking two wickets for 19 runs, helping West Indies avoid a series whitewash
