West Indies thrash Australia by 56 runs in the 2nd T20I to go 2-0 up

The Caribbean side defeated Aaron Finch-led Australia by 56 runs in the second T20 international match. West Indies had won the first match by 18 runs at the same venue a night before. Shimron Hetmyer's 61 off 36 deliveries helped the home side to post 196 runs in the second game. His brilliant knock included four sixes and two fours. Hetmyer received excellent support from senior all-rounder Dwayne Bravo. The veteran also managed to score 47 runs. The duo formed a 103-run fourth-wicket partnership. On the other hand, Andre Russell smashed 24* off only eight deliveries to leave the visitors with a much more challenging task.
