Obed McCoy and Hayden Walsh combined for seven wickets to trigger a stunning Australian collapse as the West Indies pulled off an 18-run victory in the opening fixture of the five-match T20 International series at the Darren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia on Friday.
Seamer McCoy (four for 26) and leg-spinner Walsh (three for 23) turned the match on its head as the tourists, replying to the home side s total of 145 for six, lost their last six wickets for 19 runs to be dismissed for 127 off 16 overs.
Mitchell Marsh s 51 off 31 balls with two sixes and five fours appeared to have tilted the match decidedly in his team s favour until he fell to Walsh at 117 for six in the 13th over.

When is it?
It all starts in St Lucia on July 9, after which five T20 matches will crammed into eight days at the one venue.
Then, after a quick break to switch camps to Barbados and gather some breath, three ODIs in five days will follow in a whirlwind tour.
An 18-man Australian squad (plus two travelling reserves) flew out of Brisbane for a 16.5-hour chartered flight to St Lucia. They have a little over a week to clear quarantine, acclimatise and train together before the games come thick and fast.
QUICK SINGLE
The Caribbean is 14 hours behind Australia s eastern seaboard, but don t worry – we ve done the hard work on the time zone conversions. The good news is Cricket West Indies have done Aussie fans a solid and scheduled all their T20 matches for evening clashes under lights, which makes for a pretty friendly start time of 9.30am AEST in the winter mornings.
