In spite of the fact that he was unable to help his team to a series win, Hebeat the bowling graphs with ten wickets. The 37-year-old had an economy rate of under seven runs, while his best figures in the series were 4/19.

His most noteworthy score in T20Is at this setting is 54*.
Probable XI: Lendl Simmons, Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Obed McCoy, Fabian Allen, and Fidel Edwards
Australia
Aaron Finch returned to form in the T20I series against New Zealand recently. Without Steve Smith, David Warner, and Glenn Maxwell Australian skipper should score the greater part of the runs for his team.
Australia's Daniel Christian got back with figures of 3/27 in the lone T20I he has played on this ground. Australia will expect a comparative presentation from their accomplished all-rounder in the impending series.
Probable XI: Aaron Finch, Matt Wade, Josh Philippe, Moises Henriques, Mitchell Marsh, Daniel Christian, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa and Riley Meredith.
Albeit the hosts may hold the edge ahead of the challenge and series, the Australians can't be trifled with at any expense. With any semblance of Mitchell Starc and Kieron Pollard set to take on each other, a cracking game of T20 cricket is on cards.
