Highlights

- Australia could qualify for the semis with a big win over West Indies
- Australia won three of their four games so far in the T20 World Cup.
Australia are a wicket down against West Indies in a Group 1 fixture at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Earlier, Josh Hazlewood starred with the ball as Australia managed to restrict West Indies to a total of 157/7. For West Indies, Kieron Pollard top-scored with a 31-ball 44 while Evin Lewis also contributed with a decent 26-ball 29. Earlier, Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and elected to field against West Indies in their bid to make the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup on Saturday. The Aussies come in unchanged in Abu Dhabi from the eight-wicket rout of Bangladesh that made their run-rate go past South Africa as the two teams fight for a place in the final four from Group 1. South Africa play England, who are all but through to the final four, in the evening match of the day and the result will decide the two semi-finalists from this group. "It looks like a really good wicket and won't change throughout the 40 overs, will try to do some early damage with the ball," said Finch. "If you have to win the tournament then you have to win both ways. But on this surface if there's any kind of moisture then it will be first up." A win for Australia will boost their semi-final chances and Finch said, "We won't think about it (net run-rate). We have come here to take two points." Two-time champions West Indies have failed to defend their title after they went down to Sri Lanka in the previous match. (LIVE SCORECARD)
