Australia will take on West Indies in the first T20I of the 3-match series at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart, on Friday (9 February) evening.

Many regular players were rested and new players were tried out. This will be an important series given its closeness to the 2024 T20 World Cup to be played in June.
