Australia is chasing a 173-run target for victory in the second T20I against the West Indies at Kingston\u2019s Sabina Park.<\/p>\n

The West Indies posted 8-172 after Australian captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and chose to bowl first on a spin-friendly deck, with leggie Adam Zampa taking 3-29 in a probing spell.<\/p>\n

Opener Brandon King blasted a rapid half-century before the hosts lost 5-35 in an ominous mid-order collapse, but two-time T20 World Cup champion Andre Russell, playing his final match for the West Indies, smashed 37 from 15 balls in a late cameo that featured four sixes. Meanwhile, the Australians dropped three catches, two of which were absolute sitters, in a dreadful fielding effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is going on with Australia in the field?\u201d former West Indies bowler Ian Bishop cried in commentary.<\/p>\n

Earlier, King slapped four sixes on his way towards a 33-ball fifty, combining with captain Shai Hope for a 63-run opening partnership to get the West Indies off to a flying start. However, the duo departed in consecutive deliveries courtesy of miscued slogs against Australia\u2019s spinners, with Zampa removing King for 51 and tweaker Glenn Maxwell toppling Hope for 9.<\/p>\n

The dangerous Shimron Hetmyer survived a marginal LBW call after the drinks break but departed the very next delivery for 14, picking out deep square leg to become Maxwell\u2019s second victim.<\/p>\n

Zampa struck twice in an over to rattle the West Indies middle order \u2013 Roston Chase, earlier dropped by Marsh on 2, chopped on for 16 before pinch-hitter Sherfane Rutherford holed out to deep mid-wicket for a second-ball duck. The West Indies limped towards 5-98 in the 14th over before Russell and Rovman Powell added 41 for the sixth wicket to resurrect the innings, aided by some sloppy Australian fielding.<\/p>\n

Crafty seamers Nathan Ellis (2-34 from four overs) and Ben Dwarshuis (1-37 from four overs) ripped through the West Indies tail during the death overs, with spinner Gudakesh Motie hitting a valuable 18 not out.<\/p>\n

Australia took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series<\/a> after defeating the West Indies by three wickets at the same venue on Monday, while Russell received a guard of honour before the match to commemorate his international retirement. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Australian spinner Matthew Kuhnemann was presented his maiden cap before the match to become the nation\u2019s 113th cricketer in men\u2019s T20Is, finishing with 0-33 from four overs.<\/p>\n
