The second match of the ongoing T20I series between West Indies and Australia is set to be played at the Sabina Park Cricket Ground in Jamaica. The first match of the series was also held at this venue. West Indies suffered a dramatic collapse in the final three overs of their innings in that match, which ultimately allowed the Australian cricket team to chase down a modest target. The home team is yet to register a victory on Australia’s tour of the West Indies in 2025. They were whitewashed in the Test series and then lost the first T20I as well.
