If stats are anything to go by, the stadium has hosted around 15 games during the Big Bash League in which the teams batting second have got the better of the opposition 9 times.

AUS Playing 11

Australia would be playing with almost a full strength squad in this series barring Marcus Stoinis who continues to recover from his side strain injury.
With the return of David Warner, it will be interesting to see if Australia go in with Steve Smith, Cameron Green or Tim David. Two of the mentioned three players will be a part of Australia’s middle order. As far as stats are concerned Cameron Green had a great run in the last series against India where he scored two fifties in three matches and was the pick of the bowlers in the final t20I. Even Tim David scored a 50 in the final t20I against India.
The pace attack is expected to be even more lethal with the return of Mitchell Starc and he’ll have the company of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins alongside him.

WI Playing 11

Brandon King played a big role in guiding Jamiaca Tallawahs towards victory during the CPL 2022 and was the highest run getter during the tournament. He will look to continue his good run.
All eyes would be on the Windies skipper, Nicholas Pooran has he didn’t have a good time with the bat during the CPL. Thus, he would be looking forward to go big in this series.
Jason Holder will be a handy pick and will play the role of a pace bowling all rounder as he bring the necessary balance to the side and he’s quintessential with both bat and ball.
Going by recent form, Odean Smith and Raymon Reifer are likely to play.
Shimron Heytmer has been ruled out of the World Cup due to disciplinary issues. Thus, he shall not be a part of the squad for the series against Australia.

NICHOLAS POORAN Stats in t20Is

With a poor run in the recently concluded CPL, the Windies captain would want to get some runs under his belt. His form holds the key for the West Indies batting line up. He has the ability to anchor the innings and take his team towards victory.

Matches	Runs	50s	Average	Strike Rate
67	1398	9	27.40	130.8

JASON HOLDER Stats in t20Is

Irrespective of the format, a fast bowling all rounder is always a key figure for any team in the world and Jason Holder can exactly play that role with the bat and the ball.

Who will win AUS vs WI today match?

Both the teams did not really have a good run in the last few games. However, Australia look a really strong and balanced side on paper. Unfortunately, West Indies have had a decline in their strongest format and lack proper fast bowling options in order to complement Alzari Joseph.
Australia enjoyed an easy victory against West Indies last time when the two teams met in the T20 World Cup in 2021. However, West Indies dominated Australia when they toured the Caribbean beating them 4-1 in the T20I series last time round.

According to the Australia vs West Indies today match prediction, Australia are the favourites to win this match.
