West Indies Women vs Australia Women Prediction, 3rd ODI – Who will win today’s match between WI W vs AUS W?

In a dead rubber contest of the three-match series, the West Indies Women (WI W) will be up against Australia Women (AUS W) in the third ODI at the Warner Park, Basseterre, in St. Kitts on Thursday, April 02.

The West Indies Women started the ODIs on a disappointing note, losing the opening encounter by a mammoth 103-run margin, failing to chase the 341 target set by the Australians. The hosts followed it up with yet another comprehensive loss, this time by 90 runs, to concede the series in favour of the Tahlia McGrath-led side. They will now be hoping for a consolation win.

Australia Women, on the other hand, were rampant in the first couple of games of the three-match assignment and will be confident to replicate the same in the finale on Thursday. Despite facing challenges in the second match, the Aussies found a way to set a competitive total on the board and later bundled the hosts out for just 179. Their aim will be to complete a series whitewash against the Caribbeans before heading back home.

WI W vs AUS W: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Beth Mooney

Even in the most adverse conditions, Beth Mooney comes out as the most dependable batter for the Aussies, and something similar was up on display in the previous ODI as well. As the tourists lost momentum, Mooney staged a well-compiled knock of 65 to help her side post a competitive target for Matthews & Co. The Southpaw is expected to show her best with the bat in the series finale as well.

Probable Best Bowler: Alana King

Alana King has been one of the best spinners, not just in Australia, but also the world of international cricket. Her ability to grip the ball and deliver them on tight line and lengths allows her to stem the flow of runs, create pressure, and eventually strike crucial breakthroughs for her side. King is expected to show her charm in the final encounter of the series as well.
