Australia beat West Indies by 11 runs

Australia beat the West Indies by 11 runs in the opening clash of their three-match series at Hobart's Bellerive Oval on Friday.

Veteran opener David Warner fired in his 100th T20 international to inspire Australia to an 11-run win.

The 37-year-old top-scored with 70 from 36 deliveries before spinner Adam Zampa starred with the ball as the hosts defended 7-213.

West Indies — coming off a 3-0 thrashing in the ODI series — got off to a blistering start thanks to openers Brandon King (53 from 37 balls) and Johnson Charles (42 from 25).

Zampa broke their stand in the ninth over, before finishing with an ultra impressive 3-26 from four overs in a batter-dominated match.
