Facts:

- Brandon King, West Indies’ opening batsman, is the second highest run-getter of the series with 53 runs to his credit.
Australia vs West Indies Chances of Winning
Australia and West Indies engaged in their first match of the T20 series wherein the latter won the toss and opted to field first, allowing Australia to secure the target. In hindsight, this turned out to be rather terrible for West Indies as the home team amassed an incredible total of 213/7. West Indies had their work cut out for them as chasing scores upwards of 200 in a T20 match is a monumental achievement, and a rare one at that. Ultimately, they failed in their endeavor but not without putting up a tough fight considering they accumulated 202 runs and lost eight wickets along the way. They ran out of overs and lost by a meager 11 runs in the end.
Prior to this series, Australia and West Indies competed in a One Day International series which ended in a dominant 3-0 victory for the former on home soil. They have been absolutely invincible for a considerable period of time and it does not seem likely that they could falter anytime soon. West Indies could offer decent competition but given their track record in the ODI series where they lost by eight wickets twice and by 83 runs on one occasion, they do not appear to be in promising shape.

Australia vs West Indies Toss Prediction
The match is scheduled to be played at Adelaide Oval, where a total of 18 T20 matches have been hosted in the past. The pitch seems to offer assistance to batsmen as it supports high totals. Both strategies appear to work at the venue since teams batting first have emerged victorious nine times while the chasing side has won on eight occasions. However, given the high scoring nature of the pitch, the toss winner could be prompted to bat first and secure a total.
Weather Report
The weather forecast suggests mostly sunny conditions on the day of the match with no chance of rainfall. The temperature is likely to hover around 32 degrees Celsius.

He smashed four boundaries and one six during his innings. Given his major contribution, he could be anticipated to remain their leading batsman.

Australia vs West Indies Best Bowlers
Adam Zampa to be Australia’s Best Bowler
Adam Zampa delivered a remarkable spell against West Indies in their previous encounter. In a full quota of four overs, he allowed just 26 runs and captured three wickets, translating to an economy rate of 6.50. He was highly economical and displayed immense wicket-taking prowess, making it likely that he could emerge as their top bowler once again.
Andre Russell to be West Indies’ Best Bowler
Andre Russell emerged as West Indies’ leading wicket-taker against Australia in their last match against each other. During his spell, he bowled four overs, conceded 42 runs and bagged three wickets. Although he had a rather expensive economy rate of 10.50, it was offset by his wicket-taking ability and there appears to be a good possibility that he could be their premier bowler in the next game as well.
