In a prelude to their upcoming series against Australia, the West Indies cricket team faced Cricket Australia XI in a three-day tour match in Adelaide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first day, the West Indies won the toss and opted to bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite facing some challenges, the Caribbean side posted a total of 251 for 8 in the 90 overs bowled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable contributions came from Kraigg Brathwaite, Justin Greaves, and Kavem Hodge, each scoring half-centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brathwaite played a solid innings at the top, scoring 52 from 129 balls. Hodge contributed 52 from 101 balls, including 5 fours and a six, while Greaves scored 65 from 135 balls with 10 fours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the West Indies experienced a mini-collapse with Joshua DaSilva and Alzarri Joseph falling quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the close of play on day one, Kevin Sinclair was at the crease with 12 runs, accompanied by Gudakesh Motie with 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liam Haskett led the Australian bowling attack with figures of 3 for 57, supported by Jack Nisbet and Doug Warren, who claimed two wickets each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The West Indies faced a weakened squad in this tour match, featuring uncapped players such as Zachary McCaskie, Tevin Imlach, Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Kevin Sinclair, Akeem Jordan, and Shamar Joseph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, former captain Jason Holder opted out of the tour, and all-rounder Kyle Mayers is participating in the IPL-backed SA20 for Durban, while Shai Hope was not selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The West Indies and Australia are scheduled to play two test matches starting next Tuesday, followed by three T20 matches and three ODIs in Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
