Alex Carey had been appointed as the captain of the Aussies for the ODI series as they played their first match at Kensington Oval in Barbados. Australia started well as they won the toss and elected to bat first.

Mitchell Starc at the start of 2nd innings took some early wicket of Lewis. In his second over, he bowled Mohammed with a beautiful delivery. On the first ball of his 2nd over, the lanky pacer bowled to Mohammed who scored just 2 runs from 6 balls.
