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. Having lost the series against India, Australia would look to get back to winning ways while West Indies will also search for some momentum heading into the T20 World Cup. Australia will welcome back David Warner, Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc. The trio had missed the India tour. Aaron Finch has already clarified that Marsh will not be bowling for now as they ease his workload post his recovery from an ankle injury. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Who walks out?
OUT! LBW! That is plumb! Good King did not review that. A welcome wicket for Australia. King was rooted to his crease there. Maybe he was expecting a short one but Josh Hazlewood goes fractionally full and on middle, King, with minimal foot movement looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal and the finger is raised.
Bangs it short, Mayers pulls it well but there is a deep mid-wicket in place so just the one.
Floated and full, on middle and leg. Mayers clips it behind square on the leg side for a single. Another good over for the visitors, 9
