AUS vs WI Preview

• In the first T20I, both teams were disappointed because their top order struggled to get going.
• Finch led the run chase with a fifty as Australia chased a target of 146 runs while losing 7 wickets.
• The Gabba’s bounce and pace will provide both teams with improved opportunities to play some thrilling cricket.

 

After winning the series’ first game by three wickets with one ball remaining on Wednesday, Australia hosts West Indies in the second and concluding game. The teams are relocating from Gold Coast’s Carrara Stadium to Brisbane’s Gabba.  The start of this IT20 game is scheduled for 18:10 local time.

Australia managed to win the series’ opening game, but there is still much potential for development with both the bat and the ball. They will, however, be hoping to win this game 2-0.

West Indies, who had Australia down to 58-5 while chasing 146, will be devastated that they lost the game on Wednesday. In this encounter, we anticipate they will be fierce competitors and keep Australia tight.
