Matthew Forde and Roston Chase involve in a run-out debacle

The 21st over of the West Indies innings witnessed a crucial mix-up between Forde and Chase. It all began with substitute fielder Mckenzie Harvey‘s athletic stop to Forde’s mistimed pull shot at deep mid-wicket. As Forde initiated a run, covering more than half the pitch, his partner Chase remained anchored at his end. The swift relay from Harvey to keeper Josh Inglis resulted in an effortless stumping an?d unfortunate run out of Forde who was dismissed for a two-ball duc??k.

West Indies’ batting collapse: Series finale misery

The run-out incident served as a microcosm of a broader batting collapse for the West Indies, who were put into bat first by Australia in the series finale. Despite starting the first powerplay with a score of 36/2, the visitors lost their way in the middle overs and were eventually bowled out for a paltry 86. Xavier Bartlett emerged as the standout Australian bowler, finishing with figures of 4/21, well-supported by the dynamic duo of Lance Morris and Adam Zampa, who both picked two wickets each.

Jake Fraser-McGurk’s blitz: Australia’s dominant response

In response to the modest target, Jake Fraser-McGurk played a sci??ntillating ??knock of 41 off just 18 balls, displaying unbridled aggression with three sixes and five fours. Inglis also contributed with a brisk, unbeaten 35 off 16 balls. Australia efficiently reached the target of 87/2 in just 6.5 overs, securing a resounding 3-0 series victory against the struggling West Indies.

For latest cricket news & updates, visit betvisa68.com.

In a significant setback for Australia, Matthew Short has been ruled out of the third and final One-Day International against West Indies, scheduled to be pla??y??ed in Canberra on Tuesday (February 6).

Injury to Matthew Short

This decision stems from a low-grade hamstring injury that Short sustained while batting in the second ODI, which Australia convincingly won by 83 runs, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Despite contributing with 41 runs, Short did not take the field? during the second innings due to the injury.

Cricket Australia names the replacement for the 3rd ODI against the West Indies

In response to this development, Cricket Australia (CA) has made a strategic move by calling up Queensland batter Ben McDermott as Short’s replacement. McDermott, last seen in action during Australia’s tour of Pakistan in 2022, where he recorded his only century in the ODI format, now steps in as the last resort for the Men in Yellow, with no spare batters left in the squad after Travis Head‘s rest. McDermott arrives with recent form, having played an exceptional knock of 146* runs for Queensland against Tasmania in a Sheffield Shield clash. The star batter will aim to carry this ?momentum into the third ODI against West Indies.

ODI showdown between Australia and West Indies

This encounter marks Australia’s return to the 50-over format after securing the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 in India . The West Indies, buoyed by a sensational eight-run victory in the second Test, will aim to extend their winning momentum into the ODI series under the leadership of Shai Hope. For Australia, the responsibility of captaincy rests with the experienced Steve Smith. The stage is set for an exciti??ng clash as both teams look to make their mark in the limited-overs format following an intense Test battle.

Australia’s top-choice playing XI for the ODI series against the West Indies:

Potent opening pair

In the challenging Australian conditions, the mantle of captaincy and opening responsibilities rest on the shoulders of the seasoned campaigner, Smith. Renowned for his impeccable batting technique and astute leadership, Smith’s presence at the top of the order not only provides a sense of stability but also instills confidence in the team. Alongside him, the aggressive left-handed opener, Matthew Short, complements Smith’s style with his attacking approach, aiming to provide the team with quick starts and the ability to build crucial partnerships during the powerplay.

Versatile middle-order mastery

Transitioning to the middle order, the ever-versatile Marnus Labuschagne takes center stage. With a solid technique and an ability to rotate the strike effectively, Labuschagne’s batting prowess adds depth and resilience to the team’s lineup. Accompanying him is the promising wicketkeeper-batter, Josh Inglis and the vibrant Jack-Fraser. Inglis not only brings dynamism to the middle order but also showcases adaptability, making him a standout prospect with the potential to influence various game situations. Short’s inclusion further bolsters the middle order, providing a mix of experience and power-hitting capability.

Adaptable all-round prowess

Enhancing the team’s all-round capabilities are Cameron Green, Sean Abbott and Aaron Hardie. Green, a genuine all-rounder, significantly contributes with both bat and ball. His capacity to bowl at a brisk pace and play impactful innings in the lower middle order makes him a valuable asset. Abbott, an experienced all-rounder, bolsters the team’s balance with the ability to swing the ball effectively and play crucial knocks down the order, providing depth in both bowling and batting departments. Hardie’s inclusion adds another dimension to the team’s all-round strength, with his ability to contribute with both bat and ball, providing versatility to the side.

Bowling arsenal

Supporting the Aussie pace attack are young guns in the form of Nathan Ellis and Lance Morris. Ellis, a fast bowler, brings good pace and variations to the table, capable of generating bounce and movement. Morris, a promising young quick, adds energy and the ability to extract bounce and seam movement. Taking charge of the spin department, Adam Zampa leads with his wrist-spin variations. Zampa’s knack for picking up crucial wickets and controlling the game’s tempo makes him the primary spin option for the team.

The ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 has reached the business end with only two matches left in the tournament. Sydney Sixers are already in the final where they will meet t??he winner of? the Challenger game.

Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat will face each other on Thursday (February ?04) in the Challenger match, and winner of this game will qualify for the season finale.

Recently, in the Knockout contest, Heat defeated Sydney Thunder to book a place in the Challenger. During the game, Chris Lynn-led side chased down the target of 159 with five balls to spare, thanks to a brilliant 74-run knock by Sam Heazlett.

The contest also witnessed a cameo by Ben Cutting,?? who scored unbeaten 34 runs from 18 balls with a scintillating strike??-rate of 188 to take Thunder at a competitive total.

Cutting smashed four sixes ?during his short yet entertaining inning. One of those maximums went out of the ground a?t Manuka Oval in Canberra.

It all happened in the 18th over of Thunder innings bowled by veteran pacer Morne Morkel. The right-armer bowled a length delivery, Cutting sat back in his crease and cl??ubbed it over deep square leg for a??n enormous six.

That is OUTTTAAAAA HERE!!

Apart from Cutting, Thunder opener Usman Khawaja smashed 28 off 30 balls, skipper Callum Ferguson scored 25 from 20 deliveries and wicketkeeper-batsman Sam Billings made 34 off 24 balls.

For Heat, pacer Mark Steketee and spinner Mitchell Swepson bagged two wickets each while Ben Laughlin, Marnus Labuschagne, and Morkel picked up one scalp each.

In reply, Heat chased down the target in 19.1 overs with seven wickets in hand. Joe Denly (0) and skipper Lynn (10) failed to ??contribute much from the willow.

However, Labuschagne, Heazlett and Jimmy Peirson contributed well enough to take the team over the finish line. Labuschagne got run out on 32 after forming a much-needed 56 partnersh?ip for the third wicket with ??Heazlett.

Then, Heazlett (74 no) and Peirson (43 no) added an unbeate??n 92-run stand for the?? fourth wicket to take their side home.

Having been in strong form behind the stumps throughout the Women’s Ashes series, England’s Sarah Taylor is continuing to stun fans with her ability, ?this time in the second T20I played i?n Canberra.

On Sunday, Sarah accounted for the stumping of Elyse Villani. This was not an ordinary effort from the English wicketkeeper. By the time anyone could act??ually realize what is perspiring, Sarah whipped off the bails in a flash.

This all happened in the 7th over of the Australian innings when Katherine Brunt was bowling to Villani. Brunt bowled a good length delivery that managed to bounce enough to beat the bat of Villani. She was a yard or two outside the crease and by the time she turned around, the bails got whipped out by Sarah in MS Dhoni-esque way.
