West Indies vs Australia 2nd T20 playing 11, live toss time and streaming

The West Indies stuttered to a below-par total of 172 runs despite a fiery cameo from Andre Russell in what was his final international appearance. Put into bat after Australia won the toss and opted to field, the Caribbean side could only muster a score in the 170s on a surface that, while not a flat belter, was certainly more conducive to scoring than their total suggests.  Check WI vs AUS 2nd T20 full scorecard here 

 

Early momentum lost after promising start

 

Brandon King led the charge early on, overcoming a tentative start to dominate the opening stand. A 20-run over off Matt Kuhnemann, who was making his T20I debut for Australia, set King into motion. He did the heavy lifting in a 63-run partnership for the first wicket. However, both openers fell off successive deliveries, triggering a batting collapse. Wickets continued to tumble at regular intervals, preventing the West Indies from building any meaningful momentum through the middle overs.

 

 

Russell signs off in style

 

Andre Russell, in his swansong appearance in international cricket, provided the innings a jolt of energy. His 36 off just 15 deliveries gave the scorecard some respectability. Yet his dismissal with nearly three overs left derailed any hopes of a late flourish. Gudakesh Motie’s brief but handy contribution at the tail helped nudge the total past 170.

 

Conditions assist spin, but chaseable target for Australia

 

While the pitch offered some help to the spinners and saw slower deliveries gripping the surface, Australia will back themselves to chase down the target. With 200 being considered par in recent outings, and the Aussies having chased well previously, they will view this as an attainable score.

 

Captains’ call: contrasting focus

 

At the toss, West Indies captain Shai Hope stressed the importance of finishing well and executing plans better with the ball. “It’s just important to execute our skills,” he said, sticking with an unchanged line-up.

 

Australian skipper Mitchell Marsh was confident in his decision to bowl, noting that the pitch wasn’t likely to change much. He praised his side’s recent effort in reining in a 200-run total and confirmed two changes: Tim David returned in place of JFM, and Kuhnemann earned his debut cap.
