A major controversy over umpiring was seen in Australia - West Indies 2nd T20I. As the players did not apply, the umpire did not announce a single wicket decision in favor of Australia. Although the cricketers rightly celebrated the out.

The incident happened late in the match, in the 19th over of West Indies' innings. Alzarri Joseph was running towards the non-striking end. The stumps were uprooted by Tim David's throw but Australia did not appeal. But knowing out, they started celebrating. TV replays also showed that Joseph was outside the popping crease. But suddenly the umpire broke Australia's celebration. He said, not appealing will not be given out.

Unable to accept the decision, the host team had a few words with the umpire on the field. However, this decision of the umpire did not affect the outcome of the match. Australia won the match easily.

Batting first in Adelaide, the hosts lost 4 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs and accumulated a huge 241 runs. Glenn Maxwell scored a brilliant century. He remained unbeaten on 120 runs off just 55 balls with 12 fours and 8 sixes. Besides, Team David remained unbeaten on 31 runs off 14 balls. The two put on a partnership of 95 runs for the 5th wicket partnership. Jason Holder took a pair of wickets for the Caribbean.
