Win Probability: WI vs AUS

The way these two teams have played so far in this series, it’s a clear choice which team has the upper hand heading into this contest. Australia has won the first two T20Is and are the firm favorite to win the third one and take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. For West Indies to crawl back into this series, they need to avoid their batting collapses and bowl their heart out. For now, it’s the mighty Aussies with the win probability tilted towards them. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the WI vs AUS 3rd T20I in St Kitts.

WI: 38% win chance
AUS: 62% win chance

  • West Indies’ current T20 form looks terrible. They have managed only one win in their last 5 games, which came against Ireland.

  • Even in the last 5 meetings between these two sides, Australia leads the charge with a scoreline of 4-1.

Cricket Betting Tips for WI vs AUS- 3rd T20I

Cameron Green to score Over 20.5

Cameron Green is playing dedicatedly as a batter in this series and has been among the runs. With one fifty already to his name, Green has scored 107 runs from 2 innings, striking at a rate of 184.48.

Josh Inglis to score Over 22.5

Australia's wicket-keeper batter has made no 3 position his own. The right-hander played a swashbuckling unbeaten knock of 78 in 33 deliveries in the last game, making him a strong bet for this match.

Shimron Hetmyer to score Over 18.5

The Southpaw from Guyana, Shimron Hetmyer, has been outstanding hitting form oflate. The left-hander has got scores of 38 and 14 in the two matches so far at a brisk pace. The scores aren't big, but the intent he has shown in both innings makes him a good bet for this game.

Shai Hope to score Over 22.5

Shai Hope, the West Indies skipper, scored a brilliant 50 in the opening game but got out cheaply in the following one.

West Indies are on the cusp of yet another series defeat

Despite playing in familiar conditions, the West Indies have struggled throughout the series. They have already lost the first two T20Is and now find themselves on the brink of losing yet another T20I series, their second T20 series loss this year.

Talking about the last two T20Is, West Indies looked good with the bat, but on both occasions, they lost momentum by losing wickets at regular intervals and fell short by almost 30-40 runs. The top-order batters displayed commitment and courage, but the regular downward spiral of the middle-order batters cost West Indies dearly. Their bowling has looked spineless in both games, as they failed to put the Australian batting lineup under pressure and gave away too many runs without any discipline.

More than the batting, there are concerns over the hosts’ bowling department. In the upcoming fixture, West Indies should look to tweak their bowling unit and bowl with discipline and precision to contain Australia’s batting unit. Will they be able to do it? We’ll have to wait and watch.

Australia is looking upbeat to win the series

Australia hasn’t put a foot wrong, not only in the T20Is but also in the Test series. It has been a clinical performance from the Aussies, and they have dominated West Indies thoroughly. Australia have been brilliant with the bat and decent enough with the ball.

Their bowlers have restricted West Indies with some quick wickets in the last two fixtures. West Indies got off to a strong start at the top, but Australia’s bowlers tightened the screws through the middle overs, restricting the flow of runs. Their disciplined spells curbed momentum, leaving the West Indies at least 30 to 40 runs shy of a more commanding total.

The Aussies’ batting unit has been explosive in this series, and they will be looking to take an unassailable lead of 3-0 in the series by winning the third T20I on Saturday. Will they be able to make it 3-0, or West Indies bounce back by winning this game and make it 2-1 in the series? Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.

Team Analysis: Australia vs West Indies

How will the two teams, i.e., Australia and West Indies, fare in the 3rd T20I? Let’s take a look.

Australia (AUS)

  • Tim David got his much-deserved spot in the eleven in the last game.
  • The ploy of opening with Glenn Maxwell in the last game didn’t pay any dividends.
  • In this fixture, we might see Mitchell Owen getting a go at the top with skipper Mitchell Marsh. Maxwell might return to the middle.
  • Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann, who made his T20I debut in the last game, might sit out for either Sean Abbott or Xavier Bartlett, as the wicket is expected to assist the pace bowlers.
  • No other changes seem likely on the radar.

Expected Starting 11

Mitchell Marsh (C), Mitchell Owen, Josh Inglis (WK), Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa

West Indies (WI)

  • West Indies are up for one forced change in their eleven.
  • Andre Russell, who retired from West Indies colors in the last game, has created a void in the eleven. It will be filled by another all-rounder, Romario Shepherd.
  • Sherfane Rutherford’s regular failures might force the team to go for opening batter Evin Lewis.
  • If Lewis plays, he, along with Brandon King, will open the innings, and skipper Shai Hope might slip down to no 3.
  • Left-arm seamer Jediah Blades is in the ranks to make his T20I debut, sidelining the experienced Alzarri Joseph, who gave 50 runs in the last game from just 3 overs.
