After whitewashing West Indies in the Test series, Australia will look to clinch the T20I series as well when they take on the home team in the 3rd T20I on Friday.
Shai Hope's West Indies are on the verge of getting another whitewash but this time in the T20I leg of the series. They were brutally thrashed by 8 wickets by Aussies in the second match of the five-match series.
West Indies posted 172 for 8 in their first innings, credit goes to Brandon King's 51 but their poor fielding mishaps couldn't stop Australia from winning. A win in the next match would keep themselves alive in the series.
Josh Inglis, the hero from the Sabina Park, was awarded the Player of the Match for his blistering unbeaten 78-run knock; giving Australia an edge to lead the series 2-0.
Apart from Inglis, Cameron Green also scored a quickfire fifty, his second in the ongoing series so far. Australia are currently leading the five-match series 2-0 and they are going well to achieve another clean sweep in the ongoing tour.

West Indies vs. Australia 3rd T20I predicted XIs, team news
Apart from Brandon King and Andre Russell, no other batter stood up for the team when required. Brandon King scored his 12th fifty of his T20I career, whereas Dre Russ lit up the stadium with a quickfire score on his farewell match.
With Russell retiring from international cricket, Darren Sammy would be itching to bring a new face to the playing XI for the next match, and it won't be better than Romario Shepherd. The muscle man already proved his batting prowess in the Indian Premier League this season; his handy contributions from the bowling are what make him stand out from others.
Meanwhile, Matthew Forde is another all-rounder in the squad waiting for his turn; if not Shepherd in the third match, then Sammy can opt for Forde as Russell's replacement.
Last match half-centurion Roston Chase and other power hitters, including Rovman Powell and Shimron Hetmyer, failed to perform at Sabina Park. They would be licking their wounds to get their form back and contribute to the West Indies' success in the next match.
Jewel Andrew, who is waiting to get his debut cap in this format, might replace Sherfane Rutherford in the upcoming match, with the latter one failing to perform in both matches.
Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie were the two spinners in the team in the second match, and they are well settled with their performance in the team. The 23-year-old medium pacer Jediah Blades is still warming the bench, waiting for his turn in the series.
On the pace bowling front, Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph have led the line in the first two matches, but the addition of another pace bowling all-rounder will ease their work.
West Indies predicted XI: Brandon King, Shai Hope (c/wk), Jewel Andrew, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Romario Shepherd.
Australia, on the other hand, has been dominating the hosts in the T20I leg as well. They achieved two stunning victories in the first two matches and would aim to seal the series when they take the field at Warner Park. The last match heroes, Josh Inglis and Cameron Green, made their stunning half-centuries to take Australia 2-0.
Green, who has been consistently piling up some good runs after getting his slot fixed at number four, will be a key man for the team in the third match. Australia experimented a bit in their batting, giving Glenn Maxwell an opener role to try out a fresh combination with the skipper, Mitchell Marsh.
Australia made two changes to their playing XI in the last match: Tim David, who missed the first match, stepped in for out-of-form Jake Fraser-McGurk, and debutant Matthew Kuhnemann replaced Sean Abbott.
Matthew Short will continue to recover from his injury. Kuhnemann, who made his T20I debut in the last match, bowled three overs in the powerplay, giving Australia a promise in the spin department, keeping the upcoming T20 World Cup in mind.
With star pace-bowling trio Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood rested from the T20 series, young speedster Ben Dwarshuis and spinner Kuhnemann lead the bowling. Nathan Ellis, who has been at his best in the death overs, continued to be in the playing XI.
Australia predicted XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Tim David, Josh Inglis (wk), Mitchell Owen, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Matthew Kuhnemann, Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshius, Cooper Connolly, Adam Zampa.
