WI vs AUS Match Preview

West Indies and Australia are all set to take it to the 5th and final T20I on Saturday. They have played four matches against each other in this five-match T20I series so far where West Indies won three matches and is leading the series by 3-1.

After losing three back to back T20I against the Windies, Australia finally managed to win the fourth T20I on Thursday.

Talking about the match, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. Batting first, Australia racked up 189 runs on the scoreboard for the loss of 4 wickets. Aaron Finch, who wasn’t that impressive in the first few T20I, looked in great touch in the 4th match and smashed 53 runs at the top to give Australia a good start. Except for Finch, Marsh was another man who starred with the bat and smashed 75 runs.

Coming to chase, West Indies got a good start as both their openers shared an important 62 runs partnership for the first wicket. West Indies was in the driving seat for almost the first half of the second innings. However, Mitch Marsh’s 3-24 brought Australia back in the match.

In the final over of West Indies’ chase, when 11 runs were needed with Andre Russell on strike, Mitchell Starc used all his experience and bowled five consecutive dot balls before being hit for a six off the final delivery to hand his side a 4 run victory.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 5th T20I of the Australia Tour of West Indies 2021 between West Indies and Australia on Saturday, July 17, 2021.

WI vs AUS Weather & Pitch Report

Weather Condition

The temperature is expected to hover around 30 Degree Celsius on the matchday with 70 per cent humidity and 6 km/hr windspeed. There are no chances of precipitation during the game.

Pitch Report

The pitch at Darren Sammy Stadium is a dry surface with not much grass on it. The ball comes quite easily onto the bat and the wicket slows up a little in the latter half. The spinners have also gotten a fair amount of assistance from the strip. Chasing should remain the way forward for both teams.
