WI vs AUS Live Score, Warm-up Match 12: After Nicholas Pooran’s 75 and Rovman Powell’s 52 guided West Indies to 257/4 in their 20 overs, Australia could only manage to score 222/7. Inglis top-scored for them with 55 from 30.
Two top contenders for the T20 World Cup title will face off to start their preparations. The Australian side, led by Mitchell Marsh, played their last match against Namibia with just nine players available. However, against the West Indies, all members of their squad are likely to be available. The home side will play their only warm-up match in Trinidad on May 31, just two days before they face Papua New Guinea in their first Group Stage game.
