West Indies vs Australia Match preview :
West Indies vs Australia On Sunday, the second Twenty20 International between the West Indies and Australia will be played at the Daren Sammy National Stadium in Gros Islet.
After a thrilling first T20I, both West Indies and Australia are looking forward to the second game, which promises to be even more exciting. Despite being on the back foot for the most of the game, the Windies came out on top on Saturday. While Andre Russell hit a fifty, Obed McCoy and Hayden Walsh shone with the bat to help the Windies secure a vital victory. However, if the hosts are to win again at the cost of the Aussies, they will need their middle order, particularly stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran, to fire with the bat.
In the first T20I, the Australians, who were given a fresh look with the additions of Ben McDermott and veteran Daniel Christian, performed admirably. Mitchell Marsh and Josh Hazlewood did their prospects of making the T20 World Cup no damage, while Mitchell Starc and Aaron Finch, the more experienced players, were unimpressed with the ball and bat, respectively. To beat the Windies, who will enter the second game as favourites, the visitors will need a comprehensive effort. Austral, on the other hand, has the firepower to go past them in what could be another tight match on Sunday.
Match Details

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium is slightly on the slower side, with spinners playing a big role in the previous game as well. Although there should be some swing and bounce on offer early on, the pacers will revert to off-pace deliveries as the match progresses. Wickets in hand will be key for both teams, who are likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss. Although 150 should be a good total at the venue, both teams have enough firepower to breach the 170-run mark as well.
