After a thrilling One Day International (ODI) series, Australia and West Indies are gearing up to battle it out in the T20 International (T20I) series, commencing on February 9 at the Blundstone Arena in Hobart. The stage is set for another exciting cricketing showdown as both teams look to make their mark in the shortest format of the game.
In the recent ODI series, Australia showcased their dominance by clinching victory in all three matches against the West Indies, marking a whitewash for the Caribbeans. However, with the format switching to T20Is, both teams are eager to reset and come out strong in the upcoming series.
The hosts, led by Mitchell Marsh, will be aiming to carry forward their momentum from the ODI series and continue their winning streak against the West Indies. On the other hand, the West Indies, under the leadership of Rovman Powell, will be determined to bounce back and put up a formidable challenge against the Australians.
