New Delhi:
Australia with the help of outstanding performances by Mitchell Starc and Nathan Coulter-Nile, managed to pull the match on their side by 15 runs against the Windies. West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl and they restricted Australia.

14:40 hrs IST: Here is the playing XIs of both the teams
14:36 hrs IST: West Indies have chosen to bowl against Australia. Darren Bravo is out and Evin Lewis is in. Australia are unchanged.
14:31 hrs IST: The pitch in Trent Bridge is flat and there is a little bit of grass. It is not green grass and the conditions are sunny.
14:27 hrs IST: A win for either side today will help their confidence as the tournament progresses. Beating a five-time world champion is an added boost.
14:18 hrs IST: The resurgence of both West Indies and Australia is a magnificent story. West Indies held England to a 2-2 draw while Australia have won 11 consecutive games which includes the warm-ups. Australia know the habit of winning while for the West Indies, it is a question of sustained consistency.
14:09 hrs IST: The contest will come down to how the batsmen cope with the bowlers. Australia do play the cross-batted shots well and can cope with the short-pitched bowling well but can West Indies negotiate the brilliance of Starc and Cummins?

14:04 hrs IST: David Warner vs Chris Gayle: The battle of the two big-hitters. On the batting front, they are in superb touch. On the bowling front, West Indies have some hostile bowlers but when it comes to Australia, they have the class and pedigree of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins.

13:56 hrs IST: A warm welcome to the ICC Cricket World Cup clash between Australia and West Indies in Trent Bridge. West Indies started their campaign dominantly while Australia got over the line against Afghanistan. At Trent Bridge, Australia come back at a venue where they once conceded 481 against England in 2018. West Indies were saying 500 is possible? Will it happen today on a Trent Bridge shirtfront.
