The AUS vs WI third T20I will be played in Perth on Tuesday, February 13. The match starts at 1.30 pm IST. Australia has already won the series with two consecutive victories and is looking to sweep.
Australia won the first T20I by 11 runs and the second by 34 runs. In both games, Australia scored over 220 with the bat and their players backed it up with good performances on the field.
Glenn Maxwell’s fifth T20I toh highlighted Australia’s innings in Adelaide. He scored 120 to take the Australians to a mammoth 241/4. David Warner (22), Mitchell Marsh (29), Marcus Stoinis (16) and Tim David (31 off 14) also made crucial contributions in an innings dominated by Big Show. He hit 12 fours and eighth sixes in his 55-ball knock.
In the chase, Indies kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Captain Rovman Powell (36), Andre Russell (37 off 16) and Jason Holder (28 off 16) were the key contributors. Russell, with his recent batting form, batted at seven when he needed to bat in the order. Nicholas Pooran and the Powells themselves needed to continue longer.
West Indies were expected to bounce back in the AUS vs WI T20I series but they have been really outclassed. This T20I series leading up to the 2024 T20 World Cup will come back to haunt them.
Two consecutive wins have put Australia ahead of the Windies in the head-to-head tally. 11-10 is the score now in favor of the Australians, who are interested in completing a clean sweep.
Rovman Powell-led West Indies need to think about how they can get back into the series. Veteran players like Russell. Starting, Pooran will have to take the lead in the final T20I and make it work for the visitors. Since leveling the Test series, West Indies lost the three-match ODI series and are now on the verge of being whitewashed in the T20I series.
Australia is directed by Mitchell Marsh in the series. While it was David Warner in the first T20I, it was Maxwell in the second. The team always finds different players defending the team in different matches.

There has been a visible difference in the form of the players of both teams throughout the series. The two teams have played 146 ODIs with the Australians winning 79 matches and the West Indies 61. In 21 T20Is, Australia has won 11 games while the West Indies 10.
Comparing the two teams, the current Windies team seems more experienced in the format than the Australians given their experience playing in several T20 leagues. However, at home, Australian players in familiar conditions have managed to bring out the best in themselves.
