WI vs AUS Prediction: The hosts, West Indies won the 5 match ODI series comfortably by 4-1. They will be riding on that confidence to upset the 4 times 50 over World Cup champions Australia in the ODI series. Both teams have plenty of depth in their squads and hence many new faces who didn’t feature in the T20 series may find a place in the respective sides for this ODI series. Expect a tightly contested series, when these two former World Champions face of against each other.

Players who are expected to perform well as per WI vs AUS Dream11 Prediction.
Top Batsmen:
WI
Evin Lewis: The flamboyant southpaw was in tremendous form in the T20I series. Expect him to continue the same in the ODI series as well. He averages 53 on this ground.
AUS
A Finch: Australian captain has a better record in the 50 over format than the 20 over format. In the last couple of years, he has been averaging above 45 in this format of the game.
Top Bowlers:
S Cottrell: He on average picks up 2.5 wickets per match at this venue at an economy of just over 4.
Mitchell Starc: He was the leading wicket-taker for the visitors in the T20I series and can be Australia’s lethal weapon against the hard-hitting Caribbean batsmen.
