Earlier this year, West Indies beat Australia four times while Australia could pull only one back.
West Indies, who were the defending champions coming into the 2021 T20 World Cup, have been shown the exit door. It was Sri Lanka who ended the Caribbean side's slim hopes of semifinals with an emphatic 20-run victory.

West Indies yet again had a poor day at the office, with their bowlers being hammered and power hitters being dismissed cheaply. Shimron Hetmyer's 81 not out off 54 balls went in vain.
Moreover, West Indies star Dwayne Bravo gave a shock to his team as he confirmed that he will retire following the conclusion of the West Indies' T20 World Cup campaign.
West Indies would be aiming to sign off from the tournament on a positive note and give a fitting farewell to Bravo. If they are able to do so and later on South Africa upset England then Australia will be knocked out of the tournament.
