  • Australia won by 2 runs (D/L Method)  
           Australia, then, barely keep their nerve, courtesy some tight
            bowling from Harvey and Symonds, to see their way to a two-run win
            in the first of seven ODIs in this series.
           The rain interruption set the West Indies a target of 208 in 37
            overs, after the Australians had racked up 270 in their allotted
            50 overs.
           After a rollicking start from Powell and Gayle, things went awry,
            and the pressure of the mounting run-rate proved too much for the
            West Indians.
           Australia's bowlers proved miserly and difficult to get away,
            especially after the rain interruption, and when Brian Lara got
            himself out, the major challenge was removed. Sarwan posed some
            resistance, but he could not see his side through to a win.
           So Australia take a 1-0 lead in this series. Join Wisden CricInfo
            again tomorrow for live coverage of the second ODI, also at Sabina
            Park, Kingston, Jamaica. That ODI starts at 14:25 GMT, so until
            then, goodbye.

      36.6 Lee to Dillon, FOUR, slogged away to fine leg for four by Dillon,
            but that is not enough for the West Indies to win this match
      36.5 Lee to Dillon, two runs, Dillon flicks this high and far, the ball
            spirals in the air and drops towards Hogg at square leg - who
            drops it!
      36.4 Lee to Sarwan, one run, Sarwan shuffles to off and tries a cheeky
            paddle to fine leg, gets a leading edge that dribbles to mid off
            for a single
    
           10 to win off three balls
