SYDNEY (AP) — West Indies captain Shai Hope won the toss and chose to field first in the second one-day cricket match against Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.

The West Indies made two changes to its lineup with pacer Alzarri Joseph and batter Kjorn Ottley replacing Hayden Walsh and Kavem Hodge.
For the hosts, Jake Fraser-McGurk made his debut in place of Travis Head, who has been released from the squad for the remaining limited-overs games to rest ahead of the test series in New Zealand starting in late Februrary.
Will Sutherland also made his debut coming in for Xavier Bartlett, while Josh Hazlewood returns in place of Lance Morris.
The final match of the series is at Canberra on Tuesday.
