West Indies vs Australia T20I series 2025 is going on 2nd T20I match played in Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica at 12:30 AM, stay updated with ScoreWaves for Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh fantasy cricket tips
Get ready for an electrifying night of T20 cricket, tinged with emotion, as the West Indies lock horns with Australia in the 2nd T20I at Sabina Park, Kingston, on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. This isn't just another game in the five-match series; it's a momentous occasion as the legendary all-rounder Andre Russell steps onto the international stage for the very last time in his illustrious West Indies career!
Andre Russell, the powerful Jamaican who has been a cornerstone of the Windies' T20 World Cup triumphs and a global T20 superstar, announced that this second T20I will be his farewell match. Fans will undoubtedly pack Sabina Park to give "Dre Russ" a fitting send-off, hoping he unleashes one last burst of his explosive batting or delivers a match-winning spell with the ball. Can the home side rise to the occasion and make his swansong unforgettable?
Australia, however, arrives with momentum. They clinched a thrilling 3-wicket victory in the 1st T20I, successfully chasing down West Indies' competitive total of 189. It was a memorable debut for young Australian all-rounder Mitchell Owen, who smashed a rapid fifty (50 off 27 balls) and took a crucial wicket, earning him the Player of the Match award. Cameron Green also played a vital knock (51 off 26), ensuring Australia started the series strong.
The West Indies, despite a strong start in the opener with half-centuries from Roston Chase (60) and skipper Shai Hope (55), will be ruing their collapse in the death overs, where they lost quick wickets. They'll need their top order to convert starts and their bowlers, including the departing Russell, to find more penetration and control against a deep Australian batting line-up.
Sabina Park's typically batting-friendly surface promises another high-scoring affair. With the series on the line for the West Indies and Andre Russell playing his final international game, expect an emotionally charged and fiercely contested battle. Will the Windies rally to honour their departing hero and level the series, or will Australia spoil the farewell party and extend their lead? Tune in to witness history, drama, and potentially, a "Russell Muscle" swansong.

In such a situation, West Indies will have an advantage in this match because they will be playing on their home ground.
The matches between the two teams are always tough.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?
As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, Australia might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Matthew Short, Mitchell Marsh, Cooper Connolly, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Owen, Josh Inglis, but West Indies balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders Matthew Short and Glenn Maxwell make them a formidable opponent. Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest.
