Cricket: Windies end six-year losing streak to Australia



KINGSTOWN: West Indies clinched their first win in six years over Australia when they took the second one-dayer by five wickets on
Sunday.

In a match reduced to 40 overs a side because of rain, Australia struggled to 154 for nine with West Indies reaching their Duckworth-Lewis target of 158 with 10 balls remaining.

Kieron Pollard top-scored with 47, an innings which featured four huge
sixes.

Australia won the first game at the same Arnos Vale venue on Friday by 64 runs, their 15th win in their last 16 one-dayers against West Indies, a run stretching back to the 2006 Champions Trophy in India.

The final three games of the series take place in Saint Lucia on Tuesday, Friday and next Sunday.
