The visitors faced further adversity when skipper Shai Hope fell leg before to Sean Abbott for a mere four runs, misjudging a full delivery angled into the middle. Morris continued to torment the Windies, claiming his second victim by dismantling Teddy Bishop’s stumps with a full delivery. Bishop’s misjudgment left the Windies struggling at 73/5 after 20 overs, with Roston Chase and Romario Shepherd at the crease.

Australia’s commanding 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series underscores their dominance. They secured an eight-wicket victory in the first encounter at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and followed it up with an 83-run triumph at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in the second one-day.
