At first, the umpire did not give it but the moment West Indies reviewed this, Marsh started walking as he knew that he got some glove on it. Huge wicket this, of the in-form batter Marsh for the West Indies and they are elated.

Darren Ganga is down for the pitch report, says that the straight boundary is 70 meters in length but the boundaries square of the wicket are smaller. Adds that teams usually like to chase here and there is some even covering of grass on the surface.

Justin Langer, the Australian coach, is down for a chat. Says that he loves being back in Barbados. Adds that it was a tough T20 series but they are getting better now. Says that there are challenges of being in a bio-bubble because you cannot explore the countries where you tour. Further says that they miss the crowds that used to come pre-covid.

Pollard says that he is happy to be back and his body is doing well. Adds that he would have batted first as well but the toss is also 50-50.

Alex Carey says that the wicket looks quite nice. Adds that it is a great privilege to lead the side and he is really excited. Informs that Josh, Ben and Wes will make their debut

West Indies (Playing XI) - Evin Lewis, Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Mohammed, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder, Hayden Walsh, Sheldon Cottrell, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein.

Australia (Playing XI) - Ben McDermott, Josh Philippe, Mitchell Marsh, Moises Henriques, Alex Carey (C & WK), Ashton Turner, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Wes Agar, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

TOSS - The news from the middle is that Australia have won the toss and they will bat first.

Fun fact - This is Australia's first ODI since they played India back in December 2020 and Alex Carey and Moises Henriques are the only batsmen from that side to be in the squad now. Matthew Wade was not a part of that side but was very much a part of the squad and in all likelihood, should slot in for Finch tonight. To say that a lot depends on these senior folks, would be an understatement.

Australia on the other hand will be led by Alex Carey for the first time as Aaron Finch is ruled out of the 1st ODI due to an injury. It will be interesting to see if Mitchell Marsh brings his red hot form into the ODI series and helps them put on a better fight after a disappointing T20I series. Young and promising Josh Philippe could well be used by Australia at the top of the order in absence of Finch. Australia badly need their batting unit to step up and support their bowlers which they failed to do in the T20 series. It promises to be a cracker of a match. Stay tuned for the toss and the team news.

Hello and welcome to one and all! The action now shifts to the iconic Kensington Oval, Barbados. Another riveting contest awaits us as two strong limited-over sides will go head to head in a three-match ODI series. West Indies led by Kieron Pollard, if he is fit, will be coming into the ODI series high on confidence as they clinched the T20 series quite comfortably. There would be some new faces in the WI squad with the likes of Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Alzarri Joseph, etc.
