Overview
The tri-nation series has seen a breath of fresh air for the one-day international (ODI) format, bringing in the crowds and reviving interest in a format which has been overshadowed by Twenty20 in recent times. West Indies are displaying their flamboyant style and come into this clash having just played two games so far.
The hosts have a win-loss record of 1-1 so far and need to triumph against Australia on 13 June (Monday). They have so far depended on Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine to win matches, but will need more from the senior players, especially Marlon Samuels and Darren Bravo.
Skipper Jason Holder still looks unsure of which is his best starting XI. With Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Darren Sammny not selected, he is missing the services of some big names.
Australia come into this game on the back of a 36-run win over South Africa in their previous game on 11 June (Saturday). Opener David Warner was the star of the show, scoring a 120-ball 109, his sixth ODI century to help his team put on 288 off their full quota of overs.
The men from Down Under have always had a good bowling attack, and here they bundled out the Proteas for 252. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood and Adam Zampa took three wickets each to put their team on top of the table with nine points from three games.
The visitors are the favourites to win this clash and it will take a special effort from West Indies if they are to stop Australia from blowing them away.
