Australia vs West Indies will take place in the ICC World Twenty20 cricket World Cup on Friday with both teams hoping to claim the win to help them advance in the competition.

The game is scheduled to start at 9.30 a.m. GMT (5.30 a.m. ET) and can be watched on TV on Sky Sports (UK), ESPN 3 (USA) or Fox Sports (Australia), and can be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

Today's game takes place in Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, and for both of these teams this is a must win Super 10 match up.

The weather forecast is predicting a sweltering 38 degrees Celsius on Friday at the ground, so there could be some serious humidity for the bowlers to use, but things will be uncomfortable for the players out there.

Group 2 is going to come right down to the wire, and things are not easy to predict given the results that have transpired so far. At the moment West Indies have managed to get into second spot on net run rate, but they will know how important it is to defeat Australia if they are to make it through to the semi finals.

Australia though also will see this as a game they cannot afford to lose if they are to progress – so the pressure is really on both teams today.

Australia and West Indies haven't met in a T20 game since more than a year ago in February 2013 and in that game the West Indies managed to gain a comfortable win by 27 runs. However, that result will give little indication on how things will go here today.
