Australia secured an eight-wicket win over the West Indies at the MCG in their first ODI since the World Cup final. Debutant quick Xavier Bartlett's 4-17 helped put Australia in a good position. Stand-in captain Steve Smith and Cameron Green's unbeaten 149-run partnership saw Australia through. The West Indies were off to a poor start, but Keacy Carty and Roston Chase's 110-run partnership revived their innings. Australia's innings had an aggressive start from Josh Inglis, followed by match-winning unbeaten half-centuries from Green and Smith.
