Toss
West Indies won the toss, decided to bat first.
The 10th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be played between Australia and West Indies at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on June 6.
While Australia thrashed Afghanistan by 7 wickets in their opening match, Jason Holder’s men defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets to kick off their World Cup campaign in style.
The defending champions have been bolstered by the return of Warner and Smith in their line-up. Warner scored an unbeaten 89 and skipper Aaron Finch also cashed in during their opening fixture.
Windies pacers troubled Pakistani bowlers with a barrage of bouncers but it would be a different ball game against the likes of David Warner, Aaron Finch and Steve Smith.
With all 10 teams at the World Cup part of the round-robin group stage, each team will play a total of nine matches before the knockout stages, starting July 9. The top four teams will qualify for the knockout stages.
