Australia's batting woes have continued in the third T20 match against the West Indies in St Lucia.<\/p>\n
Having won the toss and elected to bat, Australia squandered a decent start from openers Aaron Finch<\/a> and Matthew Wade<\/a>, losing 4-39 in the middle overs to leave West Indies with the upper hand.<\/p>\n LIVE SCORES: AUSTRALIA vs WEST INDIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Wade set the tone for the innings by dispatching the first ball to the cover boundary, with the left-hander adding 41 with Finch in five overs, before he was dismissed for 23.<\/p>\n Wade was soon followed back to the pavilion by Mitchell Marsh<\/a> (9 off 12), Alex Carey (13 off 9) and Finch (30 off 31) as Australia tried, and failed, to accelerate through the middle of the innings.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/deeputalks\/status\/1414743702333837313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/a><\/p>\n Finch fell to a spectacular outfield catch with Dwayne Bravo and Fabian Allen combining for the dismissal. Attempting to slog-sweep leg spinner Hayden Walsh from outside off stump, Finch succeeded only in skying the ball towards wide long-on, where Bravo (from long-on) and Allen (from mid-wicket) converged.<\/p>\n Bravo juggled the ball, which then bounced off his left wrist into the hands of Allen, sending the Australian captain on his way.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/danbrettig\/status\/1414741892902780929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/a><\/p>\n That left Moises Henriques and Ashton Turner to guide Australia to a competitive total, with Henriques lucky to survive a missed stumping when he was on 28. Henriques was stranded down the pitch as West Indian captain Nicholas Pooran missed the straightforward stumping.<\/p>\n Australia trails 2-0 in the five match series.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
