Australia vs West Indies @ SCG

What I remember (in 2024)...
Went with Aunty Trish, Uncle Greg & Andrew Tate
2 large rain interruptions.
Sat in the Don Bradman Stand.
Chanted " We want our balls back!" after beach balls were played with during rain interruptions, and the West Indies had minimal work to do afterwards to win.

Match details
Toss: Australia, who chose to bat
Result: Australia 4/236 (38 overs).  West Indies 2/111 (13.2 overs).  West Indies won by 8 wickets with 4.2 overs to spare (under Duckworth/Lewis Method)
West Indies won the best-of-3-finals series 2-1
Players of the Finals: Allan Border (Australia) & Desmond Haynes (West Indies)
Crowd: 31,900
