WI vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 3rd ODI

Preview:

Inspiring batting performances from Nicholas Pooran and all-rounder Jason Holder helped West Indies pull off a 5-wicket victory over Australia to level the 3-match ODI series 1-1. They showed a lot of courage in the 2^nd ODI after an embarrassing defeat in the 1^st match of the series.

Meanwhile, Australia will be really disappointed at handing a 5-wicket victory to West Indies, after being in control for most of the match in the 2nd ODI. Mitchell Starc has been mind-blowing in this series, and West Indies batters currently don’t have any answers to his pace. With the series squared at 1-1, they will be aiming to clinch the series.

Pitch Report:

The spinners are getting a good amount of turn and it’s difficult to go against them, and if the pacers do hit the right areas, they will also reap maximum rewards. Overall, the surface is well made for the bowlers and the batters need to toil really hard to score runs.

Top Picks for WI vs AUS Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batsmen

Kieron Pollard had a bad game in the 2^nd ODI, where he couldn’t read the wrong’un from Adam Zampa. He has a half-century to his name in this series and is a must-pick for your fantasy teams.

Josh Philippe made a good debut in the 1^st ODI of the series. He timed the ball really well and scored 39 runs at an excellent rate. In 2 matches in this series, he has collected 55 runs at a strike rate of 83.33.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Jason Holder deserves a lot of credit for his batting, especially in the 2^nd ODI. The way he played under pressure deserves a standing ovation. In 2 matches in this series, he has scored 52 runs and has picked up a wicket.

Mitchell Marsh wasn’t able to replicate the same performances of T20Is in this ODI series, but we know he is a talented player and can prove his worth in the decider.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Akeal Hosein bowled some unplayable deliveries in the 2^nd ODI and dismissed Moises Henriques, Alex Carey and Ashton Turner. The 28-year-old left-arm spinner has scalped 5 wickets in this series.

Mitchell Starc is having a wonderful ODI series with the ball. He picked 5 wickets in the 1^st ODI and returned with the figures of 3/26 in the 2^nd game of the series.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

West Indies’ vice-captain Shai Hope is ranked 8^th in the ICC ODI rankings. He played Australian seamers very well in the 2nd ODI and hit 6 fours in his innings, before getting dismissed for 38 runs from 43 balls.

WI vs AUS Risky Captaincy Choices:

Nicholas Pooran’s knock under pressure took the series into the decider. He batted well in the 2^nd ODI for his 59* runs. It’s worth a risk to pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Adam Zampa has the ability to change the game in the middle phases. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Considering there are too many options in the wicketkeepers’ slot, it’s hard to include Matthew Wade in the final eleven.
