THE LOWDOWN
AUSTRALIA
Australia’s batting firepower yet again proved simply too powerful for West Indies to contain. This time round in Adelaide, the hosts piled on 241/4, Glenn Maxwell’s 120 equalling the record for most T20 centuries ever scored. This again was more enough for the Australian bowlers to defend with them eventually winning by 34 runs, giving them a 2-0 lead in the T20i series.
WEST INDIES
For the second T20i in a row, West Indies managed to accumulate a score of 200+ against Australia, but for the second time, it proved to be in a losing effort after having been squashed by their opponents with the bat earlier in the match. Conceding 241 runs was always going to make chasing a difficult ask and the Windies finished on 207/9 in the end.
THE PREDICTION
Throughout not only the ODI series, but also the T20i series between these two nations, the story has been so similar. Australia have comprehensively outscored West Indies. The tourists have simply had no answers to both the quality and power of Australia’s deep batting order, which is packed full of match-winners. It’s hard to see this next game going a different way.
