Australia will face the West Indies in a three-match T20I series.
After whitewashing the West Indies in a three-match ODI series, Australia will host the Men in Maroon in a three-match T20I series now. The series opener is scheduled to take place at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Friday (February 9), and the next two T20Is are slated to be played at the Adelaide Oval and Perth Stadium on February 11 and 13, respectively.
The Aussies have managed to win only nine out of 19 T20Is played against the West Indies so far, but under Mitchell Marsh’s leadership, the 2021 T20 World Cup winners would like to get the better of the two-time T20 World Cup champions in the bilateral series played at home.
The West Indies team will have a much-changed squad for the T20I series. T20 superstars like Rovman Powell, Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Jason Holder, Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, and Johnson Charles are back in the team for the shortest format matches.
