West Indies vs Australia Match 1st T20I Preview

WI vs AUS Both Teams’ Last 5 Matches Record

West Indies

West Indies’ recent form has been a bit inconsistent. Out of the last 5 T20I matches, they have lost 4 and won just one. But their last match was against Ireland, in which they made a stunning comeback. In that match played at Bready, West Indies made a huge score of 256/5 – one of their biggest T20 scores. 

Evin Lewis played an explosive innings of 91 runs, which also included 8 sixes. Captain Shai Hope also made a quickfire 51. In bowling, Akeal Hosein took 3 important wickets and restricted Ireland to just 194/7. This victory was big for their confidence but overall their team will have to show consistency in their recent performance, especially the bowling unit will have to remain tight in pressure moments.

Australia

Australia is in absolute sublime form. They have won 4 out of their last 5 T20I matches and lost just one. Their recent series was against Pakistan, which they swept. In the last match they bowled out Pakistan for just 117 runs. Aaron Hardie and Adam Zampa bowled brilliantly – Zampa took 2 wickets in just 11 runs. 

Then in batting, Marcus Stoinis played an explosive innings of 61 runs in 27 balls and finished the match in just 11.2 overs. Australia's team is currently in balance – they have powerful finishers as well as wicket-taking bowlers. This form makes them a dangerous opponent. If they continue playing like this then it can become easy for them to win every match.

Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica Pitch Report

The pitch at Sabina Park is now a little balanced. Initially the fast bowlers get a little help from swing and bounce but as the match progresses, batting becomes easier. With the new ball the pacers make a little impact but the spinners also get turn in the middle overs, especially when the pitch is dry.

Scores above 160 can be made on this ground if the batsmen get set. Both options are open after winning the toss but it seems a little safer to create pressure on the scoreboard by batting first. Overall, the pitch is batting-friendly but the bowlers also remain in the game.

WI vs AUS Head-to-Head Records in T20I

The rivalry between West Indies and Australia in the T20I format has been balanced like a head-to-head match. Both teams have played 22 matches so far, of which West Indies have won 11 and Australia have won 11. Neither match has been tied nor drawn. These stats show that both teams have historically been equally strong against each other in T20 cricket. West Indies dominated T20 cricket early on, when their team was considered the world’s strongest T20 side – with match-winners like Chris Gayle, Bravo, Pollard, Russell.

But if we talk about recent performances, Australia's edge seems a little stronger. In the last 10 encounters, Australia has won 6 matches, while West Indies only 4. This shows that Australia has become a little more consistent and powerful unit today. Their team depth, bowling attack and big-hitting middle order has made them a modern T20 team.

Last Encounter - West Indies' tremendous comeback

The last T20I match between the two was a solid one, which West Indies won by 37 runs. The match took place in Perth, where fans got to see a high-scoring thriller. West Indies made a mammoth total of 220/6 while batting first. Johnson Charles gave a fiery start of 46 runs in just 10 balls – literally in chakka machine mode. Then Sherfane Rutherford played fireworks innings of 67 (40) and Andre Russell played 71 (29). Every bowler was burnt.

Australia also started the chase with a good start. David Warner played a tremendous innings of 81 (49) and Tim David fought back a bit in the end with 41 (19). But the pressure of the required run rate increased, and West Indies bowlers – especially Roston Chase (4-0-19-2) and Romario Shepherd (4-0-31-2) – made their name in the match by bowling tight.

So the overall picture is that the head-to-head record is perfectly balanced, but the current momentum and recent performance are in Australia's favour. West Indies are also a dangerous side, and when their batting unit clicks, they can keep any opposition at bay. But Australia's consistency and all-round strength make them a little heavy in this rivalry – especially in terms of recent form.
