After a disappointing series loss against India, the Aussies will now aim to return back to winning ways before the T20 World Cup. With the likes of David Warner, Mitch Marsh and Mitchell Starc returning back to the squad, Aaron Finch and company will be optimistic about a positive outcome against the West Indies.

As the series is all set to begin on the 5th of October at Carrara Oval, the Caribbeans faced a massive blow as one of their most dependable batters Shimron Hetmyer has been ruled out of the series and also from the T20 World Cup. In a shocking turn of events, the 25-year-old missed his flight to Australia and the West Indian board took no time to name Sharmah Brooks as his replacement. The exclusion of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine continued as the rest of the West Indies squad looks prepared for the upcoming series.

Pitch Report

The wicket at Carrara often helps the bowlers with the new ball but as time progress, the batters tend to set the tone. Under lights, it’s a batting paradise and thus, expect a lot of runs in the series. However, the pacers are likely to dominate in the initial phase.

AUS vs WI Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

David Warner:

David Warner’s recent form has been nothing but brilliant. After a rest in the series against India, the southpaw will be fired up to get into his groove before the all-important T20 World Cup.  

Probable best bowler

Adam Zampa

The leg-spinner Adam Zampa was in terrific form against India in the recently concluded series. With 3 wickets in his bag, Zampa was the third leading wicket-taker of the series. His economy of 9.60 may seem expensive but he made a solid impact in almost all the matches that he played.
