West Indies Choke in front of Mitchell Starc's lethal Pace.

At one stage australia were reeling with 5 top order batsmen down for just 79 runs. Then the useful partnerships between Carey and Smith first then Coulternile and smith came to the Australian rescue. Nathan Coulternile and Steven Smith played an important roles in the Batting for Australia before smith was dismissed with what would be the catch of tournament by Sheldon Cotrell of the bowling of Oshane thomas. Thomas showed good consistency with the ball dismissing finch during the starting part of the game.
This game was very interesting till the very end. For Australia Nathan Coulter-nile topped the scorechart with a handy 92 of 60 balls followed by superb 73 from Steven smith. For west indies Craigg Brathwaite was the pick of bowlers who took three Australian scalps followed by oshane thomas, Andre Rusell and sheldon cotrell with two wickets each. Australia finished their innings on 288 all out in 49 overs. After giving a handy score infornt of the Carribean powerhouse they had a disaster of a start with Gayle and lewis backinside pavillion at a score of just 31, then pooran and hetmyer got some rescue to the Caribbean batting who made a vital partnerships with shai Hope.
Shai hope holded one end till the windies reached 190 when he was dismissed by Pat cummins to add more twist in the game, that time game looked pretty even but after Starc with his Second spell took andre rusell, then brathwaite and holder in the same over to dent windies completely.  Jason holder looked steady and firm but in the end he fall to the rash shot like rusell did which was not necessary needed that time.
The game which looked at once windies will cruise easily but late burst by Mitchell starc helped Australia beat them easily in the end and became the second team after kiwis to make it two from two in this event. Mitchell starc became the first bowler in 2019 world cup to take a five wicket haul.
