But they contended with it well, the last two going for 16 runs as Australia didn't quite pull off the ideal finish. Then as David lit up the latter part of the innings, life was much harder for So it may seem harsh to single out West Indies, but the 24 dot balls they faced in the first six suggested there were a few runs left unscored.

Finch fell for 15 off 18 when he holed out to mid-off, with Haddin believing the veteran was trying to “hit it too hard” down the ground. “All of a sudden, Australia don’t have the platform to launch in the final overs.” Even trying to play a ramp, Finch got it off the toe of the bat but it landed safely as he moved to 2* off nine balls.
