Australia vs West Indies T20 head to head: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for first AUS vs WI T20I.

The first T20I of West Indies’ tour of Australia 2022 will be played at the Carrara Oval tomorrow. The first of a two-match T20I series will also be the first T20I to be played in the ongoing Australian summer.

Having hosted six ODIs against Zimbabwe and New Zealand about a month ago, Australia hosting a T20I less than three weeks before defending their ICC T20 World Cup title at home will officially kick-start preparations for the world event.

West Indies, who have barely managed to reach Australian shores in time for this series, don’t have ideal preparations as far as adjusting to the conditions are concerned. With most of their players coming straight from respective Caribbean Premier League 2022 stints, some T20 cricket behind them could be a blessing in disguise for the visitors.

West Indies, who surprisingly have a better head-to-head record T20I against Australia, have won one out of their three T20Is in this country. In what remains their only victory against and in Australia across formats in this century, it had also come in Queensland almost a decade ago.

The last Australia vs West Indies T20I was played during ICC T20 World Cup 2021 in Abu Dhabi 11 months ago. Half-centuries from David Warner and Mitchell Marsh in a 124-run match-winning partnership had propelled Australia to an 8-wicket victory in a 158-run chase.
