David Warner has created history by becoming the first cricketer to score more than fifty runs in the 100th match in all three formats. In the match of his achievement, the West Indies gave a scare at the beginning by going down to the target of 214 runs. The opening pair put up a great fight. But Windies lost the rhythm of the start and got the bitter taste of defeat. Australia started the three-match T20I series with an 11-run win in Hobart on Friday.
Warner and Josh English scored 93 runs in just 8 overs. Australia built the foundation of a big score in this opening pair. English got out after scoring 39 runs off 25 balls. Warner kept increasing the runs by keeping one end. He also had to stop in the 13th over. Auji opener scored 70 runs in 36 balls with 12 fours and 1 six.
In the end, Tim David played a cameo innings of 37 runs off 17 balls. Math Wade’s innings of 21 runs off 14 balls in Australia’s collection of 213 runs for 7 wickets cannot be underestimated.
Andre Russell took the most three wickets for Windies. Alzari Joseph got two wickets.

At the target, Johnson Charles and Brandon King batted as devastatingly as Australia. The opening pair broke in the third ball of the ninth over. By that time the run was 89. Adam Zampa brought the breakthrough back to Charles (42) in his second over. His 25-ball innings had 6 fours and 1 six.
After breaking the opening pair, the Caribbean lost their rhythm. They keep losing wickets at regular intervals. King returned to the team’s 100 runs. The Windies opener scored 53 runs off 37 balls with 7 fours and 1 six.
No more batters could benefit. In the 16th over, Zampa sent back Andre Russell and Nicholas Pooran. On the one hand, if wickets are lost, the run rate also increases. In the end, Jason Holder continued to fight with an unbeaten innings of 34 off 15 balls. The visitors stopped at 202 runs for 8 wickets.
Zampa took maximum three wickets. Marcus Stoinis took two wickets.
Warner is the man of the match in his 100th match after Tests and ODIs. The Australian opener tasted victory in his 100th match in all three formats.
