After an exhilarating victory in the opening match, Australia will look to extend their lead in the series when they take on the West Indies in the second match on Tuesday.
The West Indies, who were coming into this T20I series after falling 0-3 to Australia in the Test series, yet again failed to taste their first victory in the ongoing series. They lost the first match by 3 wickets to Men in Yellow in a thriller.
Skipper Shai Hope (55 off 39), Roston Chase (60 off 32), and Shimron Hetmyer (38 off 19) helped the team reach a challenging total of 189 for 7. But couldn't restrict Australia from snatching a victory.
Australia, on the other end, would be brimming with confidence by looking at their recent T20I winning track record. They registered a clinical 3-wicket victory over the hosts in the opening match, thanks to the debutant Mitchell Owen's all-round show (50 off 27 and 1 for 14), Cameron Green's half century, and Ben Dwarshuis' (4 for 36) bowling spell.
Owen, 23, stole the show with his performance and helped Australia to take a 1-0 early lead in the five-match series. He became only the third Australian batter to hit a half-century on his T20I debut.

West Indies vs. Australia predicted XIs, team news
In the absence of injured Evin Lewis, skipper Shai Hope played a crucial role with his bat after scoring a half-century in the opening match in the top order. He made crucial partnerships with Brandon King and Roston Chase at the top.
Another half-centurion with the bat, Roston Chase, contributed with a quick-fire 60 from 32 in the first match and would aim to take care of the top-order responsibilities from one end. Shimron Hetmyer also contributed with a blistering 38-run knock from just 19 deliveries, playing his aggressive nature of cricket, and would aim to continue doing the same for his team in the rest of the matches.
Andre Russell, who earlier announced his retirement from international cricket, failed to score big in his second-to-last match of his career. Sherfane Rutherford, who has been in sublime touch with his bat lately, also failed to take charge with his bat in the opening match, ultimately leading to a lower-order batting collapse for the home team.
Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie were the two spinners in the team in the first outing, and they are likely to continue with their role in the team. However, they have Jediah Blades as another option in the squad waiting for his turn. Alzarri Joseph and Jason Holder were the only two full-time pacers in the first match. Romario Shepherd, who missed out on the opening match, could return for this match.
West Indies predicted XI: Brandon King, Shai Hope (c/wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Andre Russell, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Romario Shepherd.
Australia, on the other hand, has regained its dominant mindset under the leadership of Mitchell Marsh. He led a team that comprised veterans and young guns against a dangerous-looking West Indies in the opening match and registered a clinical three-wicket thrilling victory.
Debutant Mitchell Owen stole the show with his quickfire fifty in his debut match, making him only the third Aussie batter after Ricky Ponting and David Warner to do so. He also took one wicket in his only over that he bowled and dismissed Shai Hope.
Tim David and Matt Short missed out on the opening match as both of the batters continue to recover from their respective hamstring and side-strain injuries. Jake Fraser-McGurk got his luck favoring him one more time and retained his place at the top, along with skipper Mitchell Marsh, and spin all-rounder Cooper Connolly was slated to bat at the number 7 position. Australia's new number 4, Cameron Green, displayed a powerful hitting stroke play in the opening match and will continue to take care of the middle-order duties.
With star pace-bowling trio Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood rested from the T20 series, young speedster duo Ben Dwarshuis and Sean Abbott took care of the bowling responsibilities really well. Experienced leg-spinner Adam Zampa featured as the only full-time spinner in the team; he will be looking to keep his stellar form going in the rest of the matches.
Australia predicted XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Josh Inglis (wk), Mitchell Owen, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshius, Cooper Connolly, Adam Zampa.
