Like the first match, this match was also very competitive. Australia scored 213 runs in the first match, but still won the match by just 11 runs. West Indies team collected 202 runs. In the second match, with the help of Maxwell's innings of 120 runs from 55 balls, Australia collected a huge score of 241 runs. I was sure that the Australian team will win easily with such a big target. Still, the West Indies batsmen batted well. West Indies team collected 207 runs. Had the West Indies top order started well, the team might have been able to collect 230+. Australia won the first two of the 3-match series. Hope the last match will also be very competitive.
T20 world cup is approaching and performance of WIndies is very much satisfactory in this T20 series. Don't forget WIndies is scoring 200 runs in Australia, world cup T20 will be in USA and WIndies. All games so far are very much competitive and we haven't seen one sided game with Aussies dominance. Today its because of Maxwell century that Aussies were able to make 241 runs. Once you set so high target its difficult to chase.
