Who will win West Indies Women vs Australia Women, 2nd T20?
Australia Women got the better of West Indies Women in the opening T20 international on Saturday to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The Aussies have asserted their dominance on this tour and have now won their fourth game on the bounce. The change in format did not change the fortunes of the Windies as they succumbed to yet another defeat. Having lost the first match and with two more matches to go, the hosts must now avert another loss here in order the keep the series alive. While the home team will be desperate to put an end to their losing streak, the visiting team will look to extend their winning momentum and seal the series on Monday.
Australia, after their six-wicket win in the first T20I, will be seeking another positive result when they take on the West Indies in the second T20 international at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. The match will be played on September 16 with live telecast scheduled to begin at 7 PM local time.

WIW vs AUSW Toss Prediction
Plenty of moisture is expected to be present inside the pitch due to showers and that should favor the bowlers more early on, especially the seamers. Also, the side batting second will get an advantage if the DLS method comes into play. The toss-winning team, therefore, is more likely to bowl first in this match.
WIW vs AUSW Weather Report
The weather forecast for this game does not look too promising with thunder showers expected all through the day. So rain could play spoilsport in the second T20 international and there is a good chance of a shortened game. Temperature is likely to be around 26-27 degrees Celsius and humidity between 86% and 91%.
WIW vs AUSW Pitch Condition
The first match of the ongoing T20I series at the Kensington Oval saw plenty of assistance for the bowlers during the first period of play before the wicket got better for batting in the second half. A similar surface is expected for this game and seam bowlers are again likely to be more effective here than spinners.

WIW Team News
West Indies Women have no further injury concerns heading into this game, and despite losing the last game, they may not want to make any changes to their line-up. Kyshona Knight and Britney Cooper will probably open the batting again while fast bowlers Shamilia Connell and Chinelle Henry are likely to take the new balls again.
WIW Key Players
Stafanie Taylor: The skipper holds the key for her side as far as batting is concerned. She hit an unbeaten 70 in the first ODI and is coming off an unbeaten 44 in the last match.
Chinelle Henry: The pacer was the pick of the West Indian bowlers last time out with figures of 4-0-15-2. She will likely take the new ball with Shamilia Connell in the powerplay and will be expected to provide the early breakthroughs.
Sheneta Grimmond: She is another key member in this West Indies line-up. Grimmond can make an impact with her off-spin and can also make decent contributions with the bat down the order.
WIW Recent Form
The six-wicket loss in the last game was West Indies Women's third defeat in the eight T20 internationals they have played so far this year. The last time that the Windies won a T20I was in May at Dublin where they inflicted a crushing 72-run defeat on Ireland Women. They have since played two 20-over matches and have lost both - to England Women by 42 runs at Northampton before losing to Australia Women last time out.

AUS Women Team News & Playing 11
AUSW Team News
Australia Women, after their comprehensive win last time out, are unlikely to fiddle with their line-up for this second T20 international. Skipper Meg Lanning delivered a good batting performance and she will continue to bat at number three with Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney taking up their usual opening positions. Pacers Megan Schutt and Ellyse Perry will be leading the team's bowling attack again.
AUSW Key Players
Meg Lanning: She struck an unbeaten run-a-ball 54 last time out which means she now has two fifties in her previous two innings. Lanning has scored the most runs for her side in this format and Australia will want their skipper to continue her impressive form.
Megan Schutt: The world's best bowler in Women's T20I cricket is looking in threatening form. The fast bowler, after claiming a hat-trick in the third ODI, finished with figures of 3-31 in the last game.
Ellyse Perry: She is another gun player for Australia. Perry's ability to play the big knocks at the top of the order and knack of picking wickets make her a very special player. She is currently the world's best all-rounder in Women's T20I cricket.
AUSW Recent Form
Australia Women have now won five of their last six matches in the twenty-over format of the game and three out of the four they have played this year. They beat England Women 2-1 in a three-match T20I series played in England earlier this year in July before coming into this series. The Aussies put up an all-round show last time out at Bridgetown to secure a comfortable win over the West Indies Women.

🏆 WI Women vs AUS Women Prediction
West Indies Women have been completely outplayed by Australia Women on this tour. All the matches have been pretty one-sided so far and the Aussies have not seemed to break a sweat. They have clearly been the superior side in all departments of the game and appear unstoppable at the moment. Batting continues to remain the biggest concern for the home team as no other batter except skipper Stafanie Taylor has managed to make any substantial contribution. West Indies are carrying plenty of pressure with them and it is likely that they will crumble under that pressure.
