Australia vs West Indies, 3rd ODI: Match Prediction - Who will win today’s match between AUS vs WI?

Despite some key players missing, Australia (AUS) had no problem sealing the three-match ODI series against West Indies (WI). They defeated the Shai Hope-led side by eight wickets in the first ODI at MCG and won the second match by 83 runs at SCG. They would be confident of a positive result at Canberra as well, where the two teams will face off on February 6. 

The depleted West Indies side, which is missing the likes of Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder and many others, has done well with the ball but batting remains a concern. Keacy Carty has been the brightest option so far but others will have to step up to avoid the clean sweep in the ODI series.
