Summary West Indies is determined to win against Australia in second Twenty20 on Friday.

West Indies will be looking to get back to winning ways when they take on Australia in the second and final Twenty20, having suffered an eight-wicket thrashing in the first match of the series in St Lucia. After squaring the one-day series, Australia kept their winning momentum going by easily chasing down a target of 151 to go one up.Shane Watson sparkled with an innings of 69 after allrounder Daniel Christian took 3 for 27 to restrict the West Iindies to 150 for 7 off their 20 overs. Michael Hussey also chipped in with a useful 59, and added 108 for the second wicket with Watson, after David Warner fell for a duck in the first over.The major change as far as West Indies are concerned is the inclusion of middle-order batsman Danza Hyatt in place of Darren Bravo, who misses out because of poor form. Bravo made 12 in the first T20, and totaled only 48 in five innings, in the preceding ODI series.Having played out an intriguing ODI series against the four-time world champions which ended in a 2-2 result, West Indies will once again be looking to end with honours even, which would be a major boost ahead of the four-Test series which gets underway on April 7.
