With only 11 overs available because of rain, the West Indies took full advantage. Xavier Marshall and stand in skipper Dwayne Bravo put on quite the show in the contest, hitting sixes and fours everywhere to establish the team at 102 with an 11.12 run rate per over. Marshall posted a stupendous 36 runs off 15 balls to be the pick of the batsmen, with the distinction of hitting Brett Lee for six off the opening ball. Though the Aussies would mount a spirited comeback they only could manage 97 runs at 8.81 runs per over.
