West Indies vs Australia Match Analysis

The West Indies will come into this game hoping to take their chances after struggling in game one. In that encounter, this team had their moments, batting first and pulling off a 159-2 in 15.2 overs at one point, but collapsed to an under-par of 189-8. However, that defeat has now extended the home team’s losing run to seven in their last eight matches, with the lone win coming against Ireland. 

Australia delivered class in the opener and will be full of confidence in this one. In that encounter, Australia chased down 190 with ease thanks to quickfire fifties from Cameron Green and Mitchell Owen to win. However, that win was Australia’s fourth in a row in the T20, sweeping their series against Pakistan. 

West Indies: Form

In the opener, Captain Shai Hope had 55 runs off 39 and Roston Chase had 60 off 32, setting the platform up top, while Shimron Hetmyer capitalised on it with a blazing knock of 38 off 19 and will be relying on them to do better in game two. Also, Brandon King, Rovman Powell, and Andre Russell are also top players this team can rely on, as they could make the difference in this encounter. Their spinners, Gudakesh Motie and Akeal Hosein, will be crucial for this side, while Alzarri Joseph should do the job as a solid wicket-taker.

Australia: Form

Ben Dwarshuis was one of the standout of player in game one and will be a great asset in this encounter after finishing with 4 for 36 including three wickets in a single over. Also, Nathan Ellis closed the innings well, taking four wickets for just seven runs across the last 16 deliveries and holding West Indies to 189 for 8. However, the bowling department has Sean Abbott and Adam Zampa round out a bowling attack that has plenty of options.

West Indies vs Australia Prediction

The West Indies have a lot of work to do to win this game after a less than expected performance in game one. While Australia have been tagged favourites in this game too, I feel the visiting team might run away with another win. The West Indies, however, will feel confident to even the series 1-1, as the kind of power hitters they have can put pressure on Australia if they avoid throwing their wickets away. However, Australia at the moment, with a lot of senior players, still looks very sharp and their record in this T20 is also amazing to overlook. Their batting lineup has more depth right now, and unless West Indies can put early brakes on the scoring early, this could slip away from them again.
