With the 20-20 World Cup 2022 right around the corner, Australia and West Indies are looking to fine-tune their preparations for the tournament. Both teams will play a two-match T20I series starting on October 5 and will conclude on the 7th. The teams would be looking to finalize their combinations ahead of the showpiece event. This is the last series for the Maroon Brigade before the World Cup.
On the other hand, the Aussies will play another series after this. Meanwhile, the two games are going to be really exciting ones. The West Indies have been really strong in the T20I format over the years. On the other hand, the Kangaroos are the defending champions of the World Cup, having won the title last year. In this listicle, we will have a look at three player battles to watch out for.

1. Aaron Finch vs Sheldon Cottrell
It is not a secret that the Australia T20I skipper has a weakness against in-swinging deliveries. Over the years, the bowlers have exploited his weakness. Not to forget, in the series against Zimbabwe, he was getting troubled in the same area.
Sheldon Cottrell has the ability to bring the ball back into the right-handers from over the wicket. If the left arm manages to swing the ball, Finch might be in deep trouble.
