Australia and West Indies go head to head in the AUS vs WI third T20I in Perth on February 13, Tuesday. The match starts at 1.30 pm IST and concludes the three-match series. The visitors were completely outplayed in the first two games. 

Australia have won the first two games and are looking for a clean sweep. They won the first T20I by 11 runs and the second by 34 runs. In both games, they scored well over 200 runs and won by comfortable margins. 

The Aussies scored a mammoth 241/4 in the second T20I, powered by Glenn Maxwell’s fifth T20I ton. He is now the only batter with five centuries in the format overtaking Rohit Sharma’s tally of four. David Warner (22), Mitchel Marsh (29), Marcus Stoinis (16) and Tim David (31 off 14) played their part in the game.

West Indies chasing 242 to win ended at 207/9. Rovman Powell the skipper scored 63 while Andre Russell (37) and Jason Holder (28) came up with contributions as well. There was no contribution from any top-order batter which is a concern for the team heading into the final T20I.

Australia have now moved ahead of West Indies in head-to-head contests in AUS vs WI T20Is. Australia after two back-to-back wins have now won 11 matches while West Indies 10. The two teams have played 146 ODIs with the Aussies winning 79 matches and West Indies 61. In 120 Test matches, Australia have won 61 while the Windies 33. 

The series kicked off preparations for both teams for the T20 World Cup 2024. West Indies will be led by Rovman Powell while Mitchell Marsh leads Australia. Both teams have their T20 specialists back for the series as well. However, the Windies have not gained too many positives from the series so far.
