On Tuesday in the AUS vs. WI 3rd ODI at Manuka Oval in Canberra, MarnusLabuschagne showcased exceptional fielding skills by taking a spectacular leaping catch to dismiss Keacy Carty. The remarkable catch by Labuschagne resulted in Lance Morris securing his maiden international wicket. Australia, after winning the toss, opted to bowl first in the decisive match of the three-game series.
The hosts received an early breakthrough when Xavier Bartlett trapped West Indies opener KjornOttley LBW for 8, though Bartlett could have survived if he had opted for the DRS, as replays indicated a clear inside edge.
In the 11th over, Morris added to the West Indies’ woes by dismissing Carty with a back-of-a-length delivery outside off. Carty attempted an uppish punch towards the backward point, but Labuschagne’s acrobatic effort secured the wicket. The Windies faced another setback when skipper Shai Hope fell leg before wicket to Sean Abbott for 4.
