Smith returns as West Indies bowl first (ESPNcricinfo.com)

The batters are still trying to find touch after a long journey, but there was a significant amount of swinging and missing, especially from Johnson Charles. After Kyle Mayers, who [played a shot for the ages](https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/aus-vs-wi-1st-t20i-2022-23-kyle-mayers-stunning-back-foot-cover-drive-the-shot-heard-round-the-world-1338277)at Metricon Stadium, produced a wonderful straight drive for six, Starc somehow managed to grab hold of a fiercely struck straight drive in front of his shin. 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. Of the 96 when he was dismissed, he had made 75. [first ball in the Ashes](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/england-in-australia-2021-22-1263452/australia-vs-england-1st-test-1263462/full-scorecard)to Rory Burns, but Starc again did something special in his first over at the Gabba. Australia faced 18 in the same period. Maxwell's lack of recent runs makes it a little curious he is missing the next game in Perth. Warner dominated the first half of the innings and David turned on the power in the latter stages before West Indies' chase struggled to build a consistent tempo then faded away. His first six was a sweep off Jason Holder's slower ball and the timing was impeccable throughout with his last six, a straight drive off Obed McCoy, among the best of his strokes. Of the 45 runs in the powerplay, Warner made 37.

Powell survived thanks to some heavy bails when the ball took a deflection off his leg and rolled into the stumps, but his luck ran out when he was caught trying to put Pat Cummins in the stands.

West Indies 8 down now and Mitchell Starc has 5 balls to take a five-wicket haul. Mitchell Starc gets his fourth wicket and this is a peach of a delivery. Mitchell Starc will bowl the final over. Mitchell Starc to Alzarri Joseph, A dot to end then! Mitchell Starc to Alzarri Joseph, WIDE! A yorker but down the leg side, Alzarri Joseph misses his flick. Mitchell Starc bowls a back of the hand slower one, short and outside off, Alzarri Joseph looks to hit it but misses. Chasing 179 runs to win at the Gabba was never going to be easy and the failure of the middle-order made things very difficult for the visitors. Mitchell Starc got rid of Kyle Mayers in the very first over but they couldn't get another breakthrough in the Powerplay. Nicholas Pooran, captain of West Indies says that the Aussies were the better team and deserved to win and congratulates them. Rovman Powell and Akeal Hosein did manage to hit a few lusty blows and Hosein in particular looked good but it was already a bit too late by then. West Indies were competitive in both games but just didn't have enough firepower with bat or ball to get past the Aussies.
