Australia beat West Indies by 34 runs in the second T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. While the visitors have fought hard in both games, they fell short eventually. They will be looking desperately to end to tour with a win, while Australia will be eager to continue their dominant form and whitewash the visitors.
Australia are shaping up well for the ICC T20 World Cup in the West Indies. In both matches of the present T20I series against the West Indies, they batted first, scored massive 200-run totals, and won comfortably. In the first T20I, it was David Warner’s quickfire 70 off 36 balls that turned out to be the game-changer, and in the second match, Glenn Maxwell played a spectacular knock of 120* off 55 balls to take the game away from the visitors.
This Australian batting lineup is dangerous. If Warner or Maxi don’t get you, then Josh Inglis, Tim David, or Mitchell Marsh will. Marsh is due for a big one and with the series in the bag, the skipper might play a lot more freely and produce a special knock here.
Tim David has been striking it cleanly as well. He is striking it at 219 in this series, and you should expect another attractive cameo from him in the third game.
On the bowling side, Adam Zampa has regularly troubled the West Indian batters with his leg breaks and has kept things tight on these flat decks. Marcus Stoinis has been among the wickets too, taking 5 in just 2 games at an economy of 8. Josh Hazlewood is also looking good and will enjoy bowling on this surface.

West Indies have impressed in parts in this T20I series but have failed to get the job done. There have been a few instances of batting brilliance, but they need to deliver a more complete performance. Brandon King’s 53 off 37 balls in the first T20I and Rovman Powell’s 63 off 36 balls in the second game have been the standout performances from the team so far.
Johnson Charles has been steady at the top, and we expect him to put in another handy contribution. However, the team will be looking for powerful performances from Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell. Russell did impress with a 16-ball 37 in the second T20I, and you can count on him to continue that form.
The West Indian bowlers have conceded plenty of runs in this series. Granted, the wickets have been flat, but they erred way too many times. Except Alzarri Joseph, every bowler has gone at an economy rate of over 10. These are worrying signs, and the likes of Akeal Hosein and Jason Holder will have to do a much better job.

Perth Stadium is well known for its pace and bounce. However, for T20s, you can expect a pitch that won’t be as tough for the batsmen. That said, it’s unlikely to be a belter. There will be assistance for pace bowlers throughout, and batters might struggle at the start of their innings. Once they get used to the bounce, though, they will be able to score runs more effectively.
The weather in Perth on the day of the match will be breezy and hot, with clear skies. There are no chances of rain, so we will get a full game.

Minimal TurnThe average first innings score at Perth Stadium is just 134 in 7 T20Is. The highest total posted here is England’s 208-6 versus Australia in 2022. The team batting first will look to set a target of around 175-180 runs.
Five of the seven T20Is played at Perth Stadium have been won by the team chasing. Thus, it’s likely that the team winning the toss will choose to bat second here.
Australia have now won five consecutive T20Is against West Indies. They are in red-hot form and will be favorites for this match. Their batting unit, in particular, looks extremely strong and will be hard to stop in their home conditions. West Indies can’t be ruled out, as they too have a bunch of fiery T20 batters in their side. But it remains to be seen if they will be able to cope with the extra bounce of this wicket. Their best chance is if their fast bowlers utilize the conditions to their advantage and bowl Australia out for a paltry score. Otherwise, we reckon the home side will dominate this match too.
Australia are favorites to win this match and take the series 3-0.
