Six months down the line the 1-2 loss to India in home series still hurts Australia. Despite criticism from playing XI to team selection coach Justin Langer wants to continue.(More Sports News)

Australia, who cancelled their trip to South Africa immediately after their loss to India due to COVID-10 threat, are now looking for redemption and some match practice ahead of the T20 World Cup as they prepare to take on West Indies in St Lucia in the first T20I.

While in Test and ODIs West Indies are not strong a team they used to be once, but in T20 they are a different beast to conquer.

Led by Kieron Pollard, West Indies are coming from a hard-fought 2-3 loss to South Africa. Windies are ready to host Australia for a five match T20 series followed by three ODIs.

Pollard and Windies will look to get back to winning ways with both teams having enough T20 super stars likely to make it a highly competitive series.

Head-to-Head: The two sides have played 11 times with West Indies winning six. Australia have five wins. In West Indies, the two teams are tied at 2 wins each from four matches.
