Toss
The toss is an integral component of cricket matches as it decides who will bat or field first. When batting first, winning teams should put forth their best effort in scoring as many runs as possible and to secure victory; while losing teams should attempt to limit their run-rate as much as possible in order to stay competitive and prevent an opposing chasing team from overtaking them.
Yannic Cariah and Raymon Reifer will both make their T20I debuts, while Tagenarine Chanderpaul will play his maiden Test for West Indies.

Australia’s batting looks inexperienced, with most of their top-order having played just two Test matches between them.
But Coach Trevor Bayliss remains hopeful that this new-look side can produce positive results in the Caribbean – while expecting Windies players to continue their impressive batting performances during this series.
Australia will use the first Test as their last preamble before facing England this summer in the Ashes series, providing one final opportunity to demonstrate they can compete with some of the finest sides worldwide and prove they belong in global cricket.

Australian cricket team won their second Twenty20 International by eight wickets at Kingston on Sunday. Josh Inglis led Australia with an inspired innings, scoring an unbeaten 78 not out that included ramps, reverse sweeps, pulls, ramps, reverse pulls, pulls and ramps! Cameron Green supported Inglis by notching up 56 off 32 balls to assist Inglis in reaching Australia’s target with ease.
Shamar Joseph had an immediate effect with the ball, taking two wickets in four overs to give Australia control at the halfway mark. Shimron Hetmyer was trapped lbw by Joseph after nicking off to leg-slip and was caught lbw, and Rovman Powell made an innocent play edging a delivery into short third man – both wickets came quickly thereafter from Zampa who hit back quickly by bowling two deliveries that Roston Chase chopped on to be caught at deep square leg before Sherfane Rutherford holed out towards mid-wicket for two unplayable balls for two ducks within quick succession – Zampa then struck again quick as Sherfane Rutherford holed out for two balls to give Australia complete control at halfway mark.
The Windies fell to 27 all out against South Africa – one of the lowest totals ever in limited-overs cricket history.
This setback is an enormous setback for a side that has struggled to retain their momentum after several disappointing results, although coach Phil Simmons says players are doing all they can to keep spirits high during such struggles; time and investment may eventually restore them to former glory – although Simmons cautioned against comparing this team with ones from 1980s/90s that reached three World Cup finals and won two.
