AUS vs WI Team Previews
Australia
Continuing with its brilliant form from the ODI World Cup, Australia has been clinical in its performance, defeating the West Indies by a healthy margin in both matches so far.
Jake Fraser-McGurk and Josh Inglis are likely to start the proceedings with the bat. Fraser-McGurk, who was making his ODI debut, wasn’t that impressive as he was dismissed for just 10 runs. He will be hoping to get a big score here. The middle order has performed well for the home team. Cameron Green, Steve Smith, and Matthew Short have all chipped in in the two matches.
Short however has been ruled out of this match and will likely be replaced by Ben McDermott. Sean Abbott has yet again proved to be an excellent all-rounder and has picked up 5 wickets while also scoring 69 runs. He will be supported in the seam attack by Xavier Bartlett and Josh Hazlewood, while Adam Zampa will lead the spin department.
Australia Playing 11
Jake Fraser McGurk, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Will Sutherland, Xavier Bartlett, Adam Zampa, Lance Morris.
West Indies
After a spirited performance in the 2nd Test match of this tour, the West Indies has again sputtered. With the ODI series already lost, they will be playing for pride.
Alick Athanaze and Justin Greaves have struggled against the new ball and have failed to give the visitors a good start in both matches so far. The team will expect a better performance from them in this match. Much of the scoring duties will fall on Shai Hope, Keacy Carty, and Roston Chase in the middle order. Keacy Carty in particular has batted well and is the leading run-scorer for the West Indies.
The bowling is something that the team would like to work on before the start of this match. Gudakesh Motie has picked up 4 wickets in 2 matches. The seamers have done an even worse job with Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, and Matthew Forde managing to pick up just 2 wickets each.
West Indies Playing 11

Pitch and Conditions
The Manuka Oval offers an excellent batting surface, especially during the first half. The average first-inning score on this ground is close to 315 runs and that is what teams batting first will aim for. There is very little help from the pitch for the bowlers and they will need to be disciplined with their line and length. The surface does slow down a bit in the second half, helping the spinners.
The weather is likely to be cloudy with temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius.

We are backing Australia to win this match. While West Indies has played well in patches throughout this tour, the team lacks consistency and that is something that will hurt the visitors.
