Australia and West Indies will play the first game of the two-match T20I series on Wednesday (October 5) at Carrara Oval in Queensland. Australia are coming into this series after losing their last T20I series to India by a margin of 2-1. However, they returned with a lot of positives from that series despite a few key players were not a part of the squad. The batters delivered in all the matches and Australia will be expecting a similar performance from them in this series as well. David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, and Mitchell Starc have returned to Australia’s squad for this series.
