TOSS: Australia won the toss and opted to bat against West Indies.
Sammy came on to score 34* in 13 balls, including two sixes in the final over, to help West Indies edge Australia by 6 wickets at Mirpur.
10.1 J Muirhead to C Gayle, Nicely tossed up outside off, Gayle gets on the front foot and blocks it. 87/1
11.1 G Maxwell to L Simmons, FOUR! Picked it away! A full ball on middle, Simmons sweeps it away really well and finds the gap past square leg. 97/1
12.1 J Muirhead to C Gayle, OUT! What a wicket this is! Muirhead loops it up on off, Gayle charges and whips it flat over mid-wicket but there's not much height in it. Maxwell takes a pressure catch and exults in celebration. 101/2
13.1 D Bollinger to L Simmons, A good length delivery outside off, Simmons punches it towards mid off. 103/2
14.1 J Muirhead to D Bravo, Tossed up delivery on middle, whipped away through mid-wicket for a couple of runs. 109/3
15.1 J Faulkner to D Bravo, Short of a length delivery, tucked away through square leg for a single. 123/3
16.1 M Starc to M Samuels, Short of a length, Samuels attempts to pull but gets a top edge over Haddin for a couple of runs. 128/3
16.3 M Starc to M Samuels, OUT! Hell, he takes yet another blinder of a catch! A slow, full ball outside off, Samuels tries to loft it over covers but finds an outside edge. Haddin absolutely flies to his right and takes a stunner. Apart from winning matches for Australia by slogging through mid-wicket, he's made a habit of taking right-handed blinders too off-lately. 130/4
16.2 M Starc to M Samuels, Very full in length, smashed wide of mid off and Warner covers up in the deep. Just two. 130/3
17.1 D Bollinger to D Sammy, Excellent yorker, Sammy digs it through mid off for one. 138/4
18.1 M Starc to D Sammy, SIX! Massive hit! Sammy gets a full length outside off and smashes it away over the long on fence. 154/4
19.1 J Faulkner to D Sammy, Full and tailing into the pads, Sammy was not expecting it and is hit on the pads. 167/4
19.2 J Faulkner to D Sammy, Excellent yorker, right up there in middle, dug out back to Faulkner. 167/4
19.3 J Faulkner to D Sammy, SIX! SAAAAMMMMMY! A high full toss outside off, Faulkner slips in his length and how? Sammy blasts it over the long off fence. Chris Gayle doing the chain-saw at the dug-out. 173/4
19.4 J Faulkner to D Sammy, SIX! SAMMY HAS DONE IT! Oh, you beauty! West Indies win by 6 wickets! He's hit the ball and ran off in a flash! A full length ball, Sammy absolutely nails it straight down the ground and disappears away in celebration! Gayle is out on the ground and all of them gather to have a go at Faulkner! There's a Korean pop dance going around at the moment and you don't need to guess who's orchestrating it, Christopher Henry Gayle! 179/4
