West Indies vs Australia prediction

In what will be Andre Russell’s penultimate game for the West Indies prior to international retirement, his teammates will be looking to make it a match to remember and it wouldn’t be surprising if Russell himself played a big role, whether that be down the order with the bat or with the ball. It won’t be easy against this Australian side, but in the shortest format of the game, West Indies often produce their best cricket.

Whilst the Windies are still in transition following the retirement of Nicholas Pooran, they have enough firepower down their order to put a big total on the board here and the value play would be backing them to edge out Australia, who are planning to use this series as an opportunity to experiment.
