Australia are favorites to win
After winning the opening game of the series by three wickets with one ball remaining on Wednesday, Australia again host West Indies as the teams move from the Carrara Stadium, Gold Coast to the Gabba in Brisbane for the second and final match. Read on as we preview this evening clash on Friday. This IT20 match gets underway at 18:10 local time.
Australia were able to get over the line in the first game of the series but there is still plenty of room for improvement with both bat and ball. However, they will be expecting to make it 2-0 in this game.
West Indies will be disappointed that they did not win Wednesday’s fixture after reducing Australia to 58-5 when chasing 146. We expect them to be competitive and to run Australia close again in this match.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sony Sports Network, SportsMax, Fox Sports, Sky Sports Cricket and Willow TV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sony LIV and Flow Sports
Over the five IT20s played at this venue, three have been won by the team batting first. However, most captains prefer to chase nowadays and we predict that both captains will choose to do so.
Expect a hard, fast and bouncy wicket at the Gabba which will encourage pace bowlers and stroke makers. Spinners will also get assistance from the pitch.
Partly cloudy with humidity levels starting at 70% and rising as the game progresses. The temperature will drop from 20 to 18 degrees.

Steve Smith was left out of the side ahead of the first game on Wednesday as Australia look to manage his workload and we expect him to be rested again for this match. Opener David Warner, pace bowler Mitchell Starc and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh all returned to the team in the opening fixture.
Australia have won only two of their last five IT20s but are very strong on home soil in any format.

Preparations for the opening match of the series were disrupted by Shimron Hetmyer missing his re-arranged flight to Australia. He has since been left out of the squad for the T20 World Cup. Obed McCoy had a minor injury and was not risked on Wednesday and we expect him to be rested again at the Gabba.
West Indies have won only one of their last nine IT20s although that victory did come only two games ago against New Zealand.
Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran (c) (wk), Johnson Charles, Rovman Powell, Odeon Smith, Jason Holder, Raymon Reifer, Alzarri Joseph, Yannic Cariah, Sheldon Cottrell
Australia have reduced West Indies’ lead in this format to only two matches and are targeting their third successive win in this fixture.

There were strong performances from individuals on both teams in the first IT20 which was impressive as the sides had only recently arrived from games in other parts of the world. Australia looked to have more depth in their XI.
We recommend David Warner, Aaron Finch and Cameron Green with the bat for Australia. Warner hit 60 not out in the last IT20 at this venue.
Kyle Mayers, Brandon King and Johnson Charles are our batting picks with the bat for West Indies. King has scored five half-centuries in this format.
Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins are our choices to be the top bowlers for Australia. Cummins got the crucial wicket of top scorer Kyle Mayers in the opening IT20.
We are backing Alzarri Joseph, Jason Holder and Sheldon Cottrell are our bowling choices for West Indies. Cottrell dismissed David Warner and Mitchell Marsh on Wednesday.
The two sides delivered a very tight match on Wednesday and a dropped catch in the final over was critical to the end result. We expect West Indies to push Australia all the way again at the Gabba and we predict the game will be close again. Overall, we are backing Australia to win.
