Australia vs West Indies, 1st T20I Live Updates: Kyle Mayers Gives Flying Start To West Indies

Australia vs West Indies, 1st T20I Live Updates: Kyle Mayers has provided a flying start to West Indies after the visitors were asked to bat first by Australia. Earlier, Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to bowl against West Indies in the first T20I of the two-match series on Wednesday at Carrara Oval in Queensland.
