This, after the Windies were bowled out for 283 which included a promising open partnership of 78 between Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul who made 64 and 51 respectively.
Extras was the next big contributor with 38, while Jermaine Blackwood made 36 and Shamarh Brooks, who replaced Nkrumah Bonner as a concussion substitute, contributed 33. Australia captain Pat Cummins was the best bowler with 3 for 34 in 20.2 overs.
