WI vs AUS 3rd ODI Live Score: Preview

The extended covid-hit limited over series between West Indies and Australia has now drilled down to the third and the final ODI scheduled on July 26. After losing the T20I series, the Kangaroos would try winning the final ODI and salvage their pride in the ODI series, which currently stands 1-1.

After two absolutely contrasting ODI matches, the shades of the third one are skeptical. While the first clash saw Australia’s clinical win after bundling Windies, the second contest witnessed something totally opposite. West Indies did a similar ruckus to what Australia did in the first clash staggering the Kangaroos and clinching an easy win.

WI vs AUS 3rd ODI: Where do the two teams need to gear up?

While the bowling department of both teams is on their boiling hot form, their batting segments have a big task at their disposal. For Windies- spinners Hayden Walsh Jr and Akeal Hosein have been highly effective, while for Australia, Mitchell Starc has been their go-to man.

Both the teams experienced batting fiascos in the two ODIs. In the opening ODI West Indies were 27 for 6 then 123 all out, in second Australia were 45 for 6 and West Indies 72 for 5 before Nicholas Pooran and Jason Holder helped Windies secure a victory.

With the same venue- Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, offering the same conditions, the final clash would not see many runs on the board. Clearly, the preceding matches are a testimony that the conditions are not easy for batting. Zilch offerings for the stroke players, the pitch might offer something to defensive batsmen.

WI vs AUS 3rd ODI: Pitch and conditions

The pitch and the conditions are likely to be the same as the second clash which had little offerings for the batsmen. The weather forecast is fine and sunny.
