TEAMS PREVIEW

Australia Women Preview

Alyssa Healy's side has been in the kind of form they are known for. They won the T20 series 3-0 and have a lead in this ODI series. The batters have done well, and the bowlers haven't allowed the West Indies batters to settle in any of the games. Healy shall look to take inspiration from their last few games and grab this one 2-0.  

Healy and Phobe Litchfield are in good form, and the side will expect a good start from them in this game. Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, and Tahlia McGrath make this middle order formidable and will look to build partnerships. The lower middle order has good hitters, and the side will expect quick runs from Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, and Georgia Wareham.  

Megal Schutt and Kim Garth have troubled the West Indies batters in earlier games and look to do the same with the new ball. Alana King and Sutherland shared six wickets between them in the last game, and their expectations would be high. Gardner and Wareham add strength to this attack with their variety. 

Australia Women Predicted Playing XI:

Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt

West Indies Women Preview

It was a lucky escape for Hayley Matthews' side in the last game. They were on the floor at 107 for 8 when the skies opened up and saved them. It has been a disastrous tour for the team, and they haven't won a game yet. The Aussies won't make it easy for them, and Matthews would like a strong show from her players to take this challenge head-on.  

The team needs a good start from Hayley Matthews and Rashada Williams, as both have struggled with consistency. Stafanie Taylor, Shemaine Campbelle, and Chinelle Henry must build partnerships in the middle overs, as this has been a problem area for the side. They will also expect runs from Zaida James and Aaliyah Alleyne down the order.  

The bowling attack faces a massive challenge in this game, and the side needs early wickets from Cherry Ann Fraser and Chinelle Henry. Aaliyah Alleyne and Karishma Ramharack will need to keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs of the game. The side will also expect a good show from Shamilia Connell in the supporting role.

West Indies Women Predicted Playing XI:

Hayley Matthews (c), Zaida James, Rashada Williams (wk), Stafanie Taylor, Shemaine Campbelle, Chinelle Henry, Aaliyah Alleyne, Shabika Gajnabi, Cherry Ann Fraser, Karishma Ramharack, Shamilia Connell
