Colombo: West Indies captain Darren Sammy on Friday won the toss and elected to bat first against Australia in second semifinal of ICC World T20.
Unlike the spin-inspired first semifinal, the second at the World Twenty20 will be influenced by two of the best hitters in cricket’s short formats.
West Indies have made one change change and called in Dwayne Bravo for his brother.
On the other hand, In Australian team David Hussey replaces Glenn Maxwell.
Shane Watson of Australia and Chris Gayle of West Indies are so feared and respected as batsmen that it’s the main goal of both teams to dismiss them as soon as possible today. The stakes are high as a place in the final beckons against Sri Lanka after the host nation beat Pakistan in the first semifinal on Thursday.
Watson has averaged more than 60 in five tournament matches and is the highest scorer with 242 runs, while Gayle has a better strike rate and tallied two half-centuries.
