Australia and West Indies will lock horns for the two-match T20I series ahead of the upcoming 20-20 World Cup 2022. Talking about the series, this will be a preparation for both teams ahead of the showpiece event. The Maroon Brigade hasn’t played a T20I series in recent times. The last time they played a T20I series was against New Zealand at home in August this year.
On the other hand, the Kangaroos recently played a three-match T20I series in India. They lost the series 2-1 after leading by 1-0 at one stage. On the other hand, West Indies also lost their last series. The team will be looking to fine-tune their preparations as they aren’t the contenders for the World Cup title this time around.
