Australia secured the ODI series against the West Indies with an 83-run victory in the second ODI, thanks to an outstanding all-round performance by Sean Abbott at the SCG. Abbott shone with the bat, scoring 69 off 63 deliveries, and excelled with the ball, claiming three wickets.

Facing early setbacks in the first innings, Australia lost both openers and saw skipper Steve Smith depart without a substantial contribution. However, crucial contributions from Matthew Short (41) and Sean Abbott’s fifty propelled the Aussies to a competitive total of 258 runs.

In the second innings, the West Indies struggled to maintain composure, losing three wickets for just 34 runs. Despite Keacy Carty’s resilient 40, none of the other batsmen managed to make a significant impact, resulting in the team being bowled out for a mere 175 runs.
