The fifth and final T20I between West Indies and Australia is set to be played on July 29 at Warner Park in St Kitts. With the series already in Australia’s pocket at 4-0, this game is the Caribbean side’s final opportunity to avoid a complete sweep on home soil.
It’s been a forgettable tour for the two-time T20 World Cup champions, who are yet to register a single win against the visitors. After being swept 2-0 in the Test series, their struggles have continued in the shortest format. Led by Shai Hope, the Windies have shown glimpses of firepower with the bat—particularly at the top of the order—but their bowling has been a major letdown. No bowler has been able to consistently contain Australia’s aggressive batting lineup.
Australia, meanwhile, have dominated the tour with clinical all-round performances. Cameron Green has continued to impress with both bat and ball, while Tim David’s sensational century in the third T20I was a standout moment in the series. With one game left, the visitors will be aiming to end the tour on a high by winning every match across formats.

Warner Park Pitch Report
Warner Park Stadium in Basseterre, St. Kitts, is known for producing high-scoring encounters due to its batter-friendly surface. The pitch offers reliable bounce and pace, enabling batters to play their strokes freely. While spinners can exploit subtle pitch variations to make an impact, pacers usually rely on slower deliveries and cutters to succeed. Owing to the favourable conditions for batting, teams winning the toss often prefer to bowl first and chase the target later.
