Australia will look to seal the series against West Indies when the two teams lock horns in the final T20I in Brisbane. Australia took a lead in the series after defeating West Indies in the first match by 3 wickets.
Having restricted West Indies to 145-9 in 20 overs, Australia were the favourites to win the match but outstanding bowling by Windies bowlers reduced Australia to 58-5. Aaron Finch and Matthew Wade, however, stitched a 69 run partnership to put Australia at a touching distance of a win. Finch scored a well deserved half century and won the player of the match.
Gabba is one of the fastest pitches in Australia and pacers are certainly going to enjoy their time out in the middle. The pace and bounce though will be consistent so run scoring won't be too difficult.
The weather will be good for cricket. There is a low 10 per cent chance of rain but that not be a cause of concern. The temperature will range between 15 and 23 degrees.

Unless there is an injury concern which we are not aware off, both teams are unlikely to make any changes to the playing 11s. However, there are doubts about participation of Mitchell Marsh.
West Indies and Australia have been very competitive in T20Is

David Warner missed out in the first game but he is one of the best in this format. It will be a bad move if someone leaves out David Warner from a fantasy team and we are not going to make that mistake after one bad performance.
Kyle Mayers carried on his CPL form in the first T20I as well and played a good hand of 39 runs. Mayers is in great nick at the moment and he would certainly be a challenge for Australian bowlers. While he doesn't bowl much, he is one of the bowling options and can pick a few wickets on his day.
Glenn Maxwell also had a poor outing in the first T20I but just like David Warner we are not concerned about odd bad game. If match winning abilities are taken into consideration, there is hardly any better pick then Glenn Maxwell in this format.
Alzarri Joseph had a decent outing with the ball in the last game and picked 2 wickets for 17 runs. He was impressive in the CPL as well so with form behind him, he is a good choice for West Indies' best bowler.
On a spicy Gabba wicket, the searing inswing toe crushers from Mitchell Starc will cause plenty of trouble to the Windies batters.
