The first T20I of the five-match series between West Indies and Australia will be played at Sabina Park in Jamaica on July 21.
The red-ball series was completely dominated by the visitors. They ended up whitewashing West Indies in a comprehensive manner. West Indies did have patches throughout where they were in authority. However, the Australians managed to dominate decisive portions.
With the T20 World Cup arriving in 2026, this bilateral series remains quite vital in the context of the world event. It also serves as a significant moment for the legendary Andre Russell, who is all set to call it a day from international cricket after the first couple of matches.
