A look at West Indies runs break-up showed why they fared so poorly on the day. The hosts conceded 164 dot balls, which would be more than half the number of balls they faced.

The innings came on an end in the 46th over at 219, when Darren Powell was bowled by Tait.

World champions Australia, giving a dominant display with the bat and ball, won the first Super 8 match by 103 runs.
