WI vs AUS Dream11 Prediction 5th T20I, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

Australia is cruising with a fabulous run in the Caribbean. After dismantling the hosts 3-0 in the Test series, they are leading the way in the 5-match T20I series with a 4-0 lead. The two teams are all set for the final showdown in the fifth T20I of the series at Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts.

The Aussies have displayed their might in this tour with a commanding show throughout the entire tour. They have chased down any total put in front of them in the last 4 games and have decimated West Indies’ bowling line-up game after game. With the series already in their kitty, Australia won’t be stopping at less than a win and making it 5-0 in the series.

West Indies’ road to a potential turnaround looks really tough and full of roadblocks. The hosts have batted well throughout the series, but it’s their bowling that has failed to contain the destructive Aussie batting lineup. Bowling is probably the most vital facet of the game, and West Indies have lacked in this facet throughout the series. For West Indies to succeed, they need to tighten the screws in the bowling department and end the series on a brighter note with a win under their belt. Let’s delve deeper into this post for the WI vs AUS Dream11 prediction.

WI vs AUS, 5th T20I, Warner Park, Basseterre, St. Kitts, Pitch Report

Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts has consistently produced batting-friendly surfaces throughout the West Indies vs Australia T20I series. The pitch is flat and true, allowing batters to play through the line with confidence. Short boundaries and minimal lateral movement have contributed to several high-scoring encounters, with totals exceeding 200 being chased down. As the match progresses, the surface tends to ease out further, making it even more favorable for stroke play under lights. Dew in the evening adds to the chasing advantage, and captains winning the toss are likely to opt for bowling first. Spinners may find it tough to grip and turn the ball, while pacers will rely on variations rather than seam movement. Overall, expect another run-fest unless weather interruptions play spoilsport.

Here are some key T20I match stats of Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts:
