WI vs AUS Match Prediction : Australia tour of West Indies, 3rd T20, 2025

The third T20I moves to Basseterre, but the script remains familiar. Australia’s batting unit, powered by Josh Inglis and Cameron Green, looks sharper, more composed, and miles ahead of a West Indies side that continues to self-destruct. Russell’s farewell fireworks in Kingston (36 off 15) were heartwarming, but his retirement leaves another gap in an already struggling West Indies XI.

Basseterre’s shorter boundaries might tempt West Indies’ hitters like Hetmyer, King, and Powell, but unless they field better and bowl tighter in the death, it’s hard to see them stopping this Aussie juggernaut.

WI vs AUS Team Previews

West Indies

West Indies have shown flashes of brilliance — Brandon King’s stylish 50 and Russell’s final blitz — but remain an inconsistent T20 side. Their batting is top-heavy, the middle order unreliable, and the bowling attack struggles at the death.

Six dropped catches in the previous match summed up their sloppiness. With Russell now retired, the onus falls on Hetmyer, Hope, and Powell to step up, while the bowlers must tighten up against an in-form Aussie lineup.

The spinners haven’t looked threatening, and their seamers — barring occasional spells from Holder — have been expensive.

West Indies Expected Playing 11

Brandon King, Shai Hope (c & wk), Roston Chase, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph

Australia

Australia continue to dominate despite missing several first-choice players. Their middle order, led by the destructive duo of Inglis and Green, has taken the game away from the West Indies twice in a row.

Australia’s blend of youth and experience has clicked. Josh Inglis and Green have formed a destructive duo at No. 3 and 4, while Zampa and Maxwell are bowling with guile and aggression. Nathan Ellis remains a solid death option, and Dwarshuis has shown promise despite some erratic spells.

The only area of concern is fielding — Australia dropped three catches in Game 2. If they tighten up there, a 5-0 sweep isn’t out of the question.

Australia Expected Playing 11

Mitchell Marsh (c), Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green, Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Cooper Connolly, Sean Abbott (in for Kuhnemann likely), Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshuis, Adam Zampa

WI vs AUS Toss Prediction

Teams winning the toss should bowl first. The chasing side has won both games so far, and Warner Park often flattens out under lights.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Warner Park, Basseterre, is known for being batting-friendly, especially under lights. The average first-innings score here is around 165-175, but a total above 180 might be par in this form-heavy matchup. Weather looks good with little to no rain forecast.

WI vs AUS: Who Will Win?

West Indies may hit a few big overs, but their consistency — especially in the field — is lacking. Australia, on the other hand, has found its rhythm and possesses the stronger middle order, better bowling options, and match-winners in form.

Unless West Indies bowl out of their skins or produce individual brilliance with the bat, Australia should clinch the series 3-0.

Bet on Australia to win this match.

WI vs AUS win percentage stands at 59% in favor of AUS.
