In second T20 Australia scored a big total 241/4 for west indies. G. Maxwell played an impressive inning of 120 runs from just 55 balls that helped Australia to set huge total of 242 for west indies. West indies lost his 5 wickets in just 67 runs in first powerplay of the match now they need 171 runs from 79 balls that a quite difficult for west indies to win the match from this position.
A storm has hit the Adelaide Oval Stadium in Australia today and that storm is called Maxwell. Today we saw an incredible innings from Glenn Maxwell in the second T20I between Australia and West Indies. The last time we saw him bat this aggressively was in the 2023 ODI World Cup when he scored 200 alone against Afghanistan. However, in today's match, he played such an aggressive innings. In today's match, Maxwell gave an innings of 126 runs from just 55 balls.
West Indies' Powell and Andre Russell played well in today's match. But Andre Russell became increasingly formidable as he scored a sixteen-ball 37 and a cameo innings. Andre Russell's batting strike rate was unbelievable. The collective performance of all the players of West Indies team is not going well due to which they are losing every match against Australia. Australia has already won the t20 series by winning the second T20 match.
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.
It is clear that West Indies players have the ability to do well in batting. But they are very weak on the bowling site. West Indies lost both matches in this series due to their bowling weakness. If the bowlers of the West Indies team could have stopped the score of the Australian team with strong bowling, then the West Indies team would not have to face such a big target. According to me West Indies team should think about the bowling site. Now for the last match ahead, if the West Indies team is not aware of their bowling sites. Then the West Indies team will have more chances of defeat in the next match as well.
