West Indies win toss, field against Australia



KINGSTOWN: West Indies won the toss and chose to field in their second one-day international against Australia on Sunday when they will be looking for a first win over the tourists in six years.

Australia won the first game of the five-match series at the same Arnos Vale venue on Friday by 64 runs after the West Indies suffered an embarrassing middle-order batting collapse when they lost six wickets for just seven runs.

West Indies have now lost 15 of their last 16 one-dayers against Australia.

Both sides were unchanged from Friday's match.

Teams
West Indies: Johnson Charles, Kieran Powell, Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Carlton Baugh (wkt), Darren Sammy (captain), Sunil Narine, Kemar Roach.

Australia: David Warner, Shane Watson (captain), Peter Forrest, Michael Hussey, David Hussey, George Bailey, Matthew Wade (wkt), Daniel Christian, Brett Lee, Clint McKay, Xavier Doherty.

Umpires: Gregory Brathwaite (WI) and Shavir Tarapore (IND), TV umpire: Kumar Dharmasena (SL), Reserve umpire: Peter Nero (WI)
Match referee: Andy Pycroft (ZIM)
