Having begun its latest WTC campaign on a perfect note, Australia will look to extend its lead at the top of the points table as it takes on the West Indies for the last match of the ongoing Frank Worrell Trophy. The visitors have looked a bit flustered at times but have kept their nerves to avoid any hiccups.
For the West Indies, there have been some bright moments but they have been few and far apart. With nothing but pride to play for, they will aim to create an upset and gain some momentum before heading to the white-ball series.

There are no reports of injuries from either side
Since this is the first time that a Pink-ball Test match is being played in Jamaica, not much is known as to how the surface might behave. Nevertheless, the Sabina Park is known to have hard and flat decks where the quick bowlers can get plenty of bounce and pace.
The spinners haven’t had much success here. That said, once the batsmen get their eye in, they can play their shots with confidence.
The weather is expected to be overcast for all five days and we can expect rain during the match.
We are selecting both, Alex Carey and Shai Hope here. While Carey has been one of the best batsmen for Australia on this tour, Hope has a lot of experience.
Travis Head, Steve Smith, and Brandon King are our top picks. While the batting in this series has been pretty ordinary, these three have the potential to play a long and big innings.
Beau Webster is the obvious choice. We are also bringing in Justin Greaves as he has done a decent job with the bat and the ball.
There are plenty of fast bowlers to choose from here. We are going with Shamar Joseph, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins.
We are selecting Shamar Joseph as the captain of our team. He is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament and since the pitch here usually aids the fast bowlers, Joseph could earn plenty of points.
Pat Cummins is a quality fast bowler who can pick wickets with the new ball as well as the old. His ability to bat lower down the order makes him a perfect candidate for vice-captaincy.
Since the pitch is likely to be balanced, we have opted to select a team that has an equal number of batsmen and bowlers. Since the spinners haven’t had much success here, there are no slower bowlers in our team but we do have plenty of brilliant seam bowlers.
Alex Carey has 1039 points from the last 5 matches at an average of 207 points per game.
Travis Head (188), Alex Carey (166), Beau Webster (133)
Shamar Joseph (14), Josh Hazlewood (11), Jayden Seales (10)
Shamar Joseph (9), Alzarri Joseph (5), Roston Chase (4)
Shamar Joseph (111.70), Pat Cummins (96.66), Alex Carey (80.58)
Pat Cummins (2.46), Beau Webster (2.64), Josh Hazlewood (3.07)
