West Indies vs Australia Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's 2nd T20I Match - July 11th, 2021

The second T20I between West Indies and Australia is set to take place at the Daren Sammy National Stadium in Gros Islet on Sunday.

After a pulsating first T20I, both West Indies and Australia move on to the second game with a lot in store for them. The Windies, despite being on the back foot for most of the game, pulled off a brilliant win on Saturday. While Andre Russell smashed a fifty, the likes of Obed McCoy and Hayden Walsh starred with the ball to hand the Windies a crucial win. However, the hosts will need their middle order and especially stand-in captain Nicholas Pooran to fire with the bat if they are to seal another win at the expense of the Aussies.

The Australians, who bore a new look with the inclusions of Ben McDermott and veteran Daniel Christian, gave a good account of themselves in the first T20I. While Mitchell Marsh and Josh Hazlewood did their chances of a T20 World Cup spot no harm, the more experienced players in Mitchell Starc and Aaron Finch underwhelmed with the ball and bat respectively. The visitors will need a complete performance to get past the Windies, who will walk into the second game as the favorites. However, Austral have enough firepower to get past them in what should be another closely fought encounter on Sunday.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium is slightly on the slower side, with spinners playing a big role in the previous game as well. Although there should be some swing and bounce on offer early on, the pacers will revert to off-pace deliveries as the match progresses. Wickets in hand will be key for both teams, who are likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss. Although 150 should be a good total at the venue, both teams have enough firepower to breach the 170-run mark as well.
