Veteran opener David Warner has fired in his 100th T20 international to inspire Australia to an 11-run win over the West Indies in their series opener. The 37-year-old top-scored with 70 from 36 deliveries before spinner Adam Zampa starred with the ball as the hosts defended 7-213 at Hobart’s Blundstone Arena on Friday night.
Vintage Warner powers Aussies to easy T20 win. West Indies - coming off a 3-0 thrashing in the ODI series - got off to a blistering start thanks to openers Brandon King and Johnson Charles . But Zampa broke their stand in the ninth over, before finishing with an ultra impressive 3-26 from four overs in a batter-dominated match. He bowled big hitter Andre Russell and had the dangerous Nicholas Pooran caught on the rope in a crucial 16th over.
All the runs and wickets here “He was probably wanting a few more to really cash in, but he played beautifully,” said Tim David, who hit an important unbeaten 37 from 17 balls late in Australia’s innings. “It felt like we had enough, but it was probably a little bit tighter than it needed to be.” Warner, who set the tone with four boundaries off Holder in the second over, fell in the 13th when he gloved an Alzarri Joseph delivery to Pooran.
