WI: L W W W L
AUS: W L L L L
Evin Lewis, Lendl Simmons, Chris Gayle, Andre Fletcher, Nicholas Pooran(w/c), Andre Russell, Fabian Allen, Akeal Hosein, Hayden Walsh, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas
L Simmons has been prolific at the top of the order scoring 144 runs at an average of 36 and a strike rate of 130. He will be a good option to have for this match
A Russell has scored 106 runs at an average of 106 and a strike rate of 207 and also has 2 wickets to his name, he will be a default choice for captaincy.
H Walsh has picked up 11 wickets so far and is looking good for more, default pick for this match and also can be considered for captaincy.
F Allen has been very good with the ball picking up 4 wickets and also a capable lower-order finisher. Differential captaincy choice considering he can give points in both departments.
Matthew Wade(w), Aaron Finch(c), Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Moises Henriques, Ashton Turner, Daniel Christian, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Riley Meredith, Jason Behrendorff
M Marsh has scored 189 runs at an average of 47.25 and a strike rate of 146 batting at the top of the order and also has 6 wickets with his medium pace. The default choice for captaincy.
Adam Zampa had a good match last time returning with figures of 2/20, he can be a high-risk option considering a lot of left-handers in the opposition but can also play into his hands and can give good points on these alow pitches
A Finch came back to form in the previous match scoring 53 of 27. It is a welcome return to form as he is one of the better T20I players around the world when he gets going. Default pick
M Starc is an X factor but has only 1 wicket so far this series, he can be a really good option to have since he bowls at the death and can get wickets. High-risk high-reward pick given his recent form.
In WI vs AUS Dream11 match prediction, West Indies will continue to rest and rotate players while Australia will also look to try out different combinations. Expect a thriller and West Indies to come out on top.
