Australia will play West Indies in the 38th T20 World Cup 2021 match in their respective final league fixtures. Australia bowled Bangladesh out for just 73 runs chased down the mark in just 6.2 overs to move to second place in Group 1 with 6 points, thanks to some brilliant bowling performances, especially from Adam Zampa. They must win this match with a good run rate to stay in the competition.
Despite possessing some of the best players in the world, defending champions, West Indies will have to finish the competition in the league stages. They struggled with the ball in their most recent match against Sri Lanka, losing by 20 runs. Batters failed to contribute when needed, which was the main reason for their elimination from this tournament.
Weather
The forecast calls for a bright and sunny day with temperatures ranging from 29 to 31 degrees Celsius.
Pitch
The batters will have a difficult time in Abu Dhabi because the pitch will be slower. They’ll try to fill in the gaps and make the most of the power play opportunities. The new ball will aid bowlers in the match’s early stages, while spinners will enter the fray as the game unfolds.
